Your complete Daintree holiday guide
It begins the moment you leave the ordinary world behind, meander through the cane fields, up to Daintree Village, then cross the river by ferry.
The air changes. The trees grow taller. The noise of everyday life fades.
You’re in one of the most ancient, untouched ecosystems on Earth – a living, breathing museum over 180 million years in the making – the Daintree Rainforest. And it’s waiting for you.
Nowhere else on earth will you find all this…
Beaches backed by rainforest flora, ancient trees towering above hidden walking trails, scenery that stops you in your tracks, crystal clear streams and swimming holes, and reef adventures launching straight from Cape Tribulation beach.

Where is the Daintree?
The Daintree region is an hour or so north of Cairns. Your best bet is to start at Miallo and the Whyanbeel Valley, take in Daintree Village, then catch the ferry to explore the Rainforest, reef, Cape Tribulation and the Bloomfield Track.
