Daintree Rainforest Explore The Region

The Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation is the only place on earth where two natural World Heritage listed sites sit side by side, the Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. This is a place of ancient landscapes, shaped over millions of years and only lightly touched by the presence of people. Towering mountains, winding creeks and a dense canopy creates a living environment filled with wildlife. Cassowaries roam the forest floor, Ulysses butterflies flash electric blue through the trees, and species such as Boyd’s Forest Dragons and Tree Kangaroos call this place home. From quiet rainforest boardwalks to remote tropical beaches and the fringing coral reefs, it’s a place of immense natural beauty.

There are a wide range of things to do in the Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation, from self-guided walks to guided tours and outdoor experiences. Attractions include Daintree Saltwater Barramundi and fishing at Hook-A-Barra, offroad adventures at Cassowary Falls, or the aerial walkway at the Daintree Discovery Centre, Treetops Adventure for ziplining and Ocean Safari for half day reef tours.
