Just 20 minutes north of Port Douglas, Daintree is just waiting to be explored.
People come from far and wide to journey through Daintree's ever-changing tropical
landscape. White sandy beaches lined with palms, waving cane fields and jungle
clad misty mountains are all at your fingertips. The forests of Daintree are
home to an amazing array of plants, animals and insects. Keep your eyes peeled
for wildlife lurking at every turn, birds flying above, butterflies floating
in the air. The rainforest was added to the World Heritage List in1988 due in
part because it contains such significant habitats for conservation of biological
diversity.
Activities include hiking trails, scenic look outs, camping, picnic tables
and swimming. It is possible to take a privately owned vessel up the Daintree
river, but the river is infested with crocodiles.
Accommodations in Daintree range from rural cabins, farmstays, bed and breakfasts
and world renown spa resorts.
In the Daintree Village, you can catch a glimpse into Australia's colorful
past and experience the laid back atmosphere.
