The Daintree Rainforest
It doesn’t get more spectacular than a World Heritage-listed tropical rainforest. Located just over 100km north of Cairns, this is Australia’s largest continuous area of tropical rainforest, with a large part of it making up the Wet Tropics of Queensland World Heritage Site.

Lovers of ancient history will be fascinated
by the evolution seen within the Daintree Rainforest. It earned its place on the UNESCO list due to plant life found that showed evidence of Earth’s evolutionary history – including ancient species dating back to the Cretaceous period! It’s also regarded by UNESCO as a place that cultivates natural phenomena; the most stunning aspect of all being the extraordinary coastal scenery. Here, tropical rainforest spills into sandy beaches – people continue to travel across the globe just to see this unique sight.
The Daintree is not only a spectacular destination because of its incredible beauty, but also because it offers so much variety
in term of tours and experiences. For the natural-born walker there is a variety of Cooper Creek Wilderness tours from just AU$48/NZ$60, ranging from quick two- hour jaunts to more challenging night-time expeditions.Then there are the adventure tours, in which you can get close to nature in an off-road 4WD.
Choosing accommodation in Port Douglas or nearby is a good idea if you plan on making the most out of all the options available to you.You’ll find yourself on the doorstep of the Great Barrier Reef – one
of the most breathtaking natural wonders anywhere in the country.The most popular inland activity is the Skyrail Experience to Kuranda, which takes you on a ride through the rainforest on a cableway as if you were swinging from tree to tree. Another must is Four Mile Beach. If relaxation is what you’re after, spend the day here. It’s the area’s most famous destination and as soon as your toes touch the sand, you’ll see why.
