Daintree Rainforest

Wowza! This place is amazing!Would highly recommend to hire a car and drive yourself though snd explore. So many random lookouts, beaches and places to try along the way.Definitely a place you must go when visiting Cairns

Such an amazing place to go, outstanding natural beauty. I would recommend visiting. Luckily it didn’t rain... but being a coat in case. Plenty of parking everywhere

It rained for most of the day and im still giving it 5 stars. Pretty epic place. Will definitely be back at some point.

Nice spot, easy tour for 1 day. If you want to see animals you need to spend a night and book a tour with a guide.

If you are in the area please take a tour from local companies as it will be an amazing experience for you and you will get to k ow the ins and outs of this beautiful ancient rainforest. I highlyRecommend the cooper creek tours they do 4 hour deep forest tour or 2 hours.So much to learn about this jungle

Absolutely magnificent. I love the peaceful environment and being surrounded by natural beauty. Have fun just walking On the beach or boardwalks, Swing through the tree tops or ocean safari, horse riding through the rainforest and beach, crocodile cruising, Night walks. Or go glamping or try some local restaurants.

Fantastic walk through the oldest living rainforest, super informative and thought provoking around how conservation is managed. Due to the information side of things we noted children were less interested as the walk went on. Overall it's a fascinating look at this part of Australia, and was value for money. Walk itself is very easy with a section over the tree roots the hardest.

In the verdant heart of Queensland, Australia, lies a natural masterpiece that hums with life and whispers with ancient tales. The Daintree Rainforest, an enchanting realm of emerald splendor, captivates the senses and beckons intrepid souls to immerse themselves in its lush embrace. Just as Anthony Bourdain sought to uncover the essence of places through his culinary adventures, let us embark on a literary journey into the heart of this awe-inspiring rainforest.In Daintree, the air pulsates with a symphony of scents—a medley of damp earth, floral fragrances, and the rich musk of decaying foliage. As you venture deeper into this untamed wonderland, the chorus of exotic birdcalls orchestrates the soundtrack of your exploration. Rainbow-hued avian wonders flutter overhead, their vibrant plumage a testament to the resplendent palette nature wields in this haven of biodiversity.Like a wise sage, the towering canopy overhead weaves its emerald tapestry, sheltering a myriad of secrets beneath its leafy cloak. It is said that the Daintree Rainforest is one of the oldest living ecosystems on Earth, its ancient roots tracing back over a hundred million years. Each step taken here is a dance with history—an immersion into a primordial landscape that has witnessed the ebb and flow of time.With each stride, the earth yields beneath your feet—a mosaic of interlaced roots and velvety moss. The rhythmic hush of a nearby stream guides you, as if whispering tales of hidden waterfalls and pristine swimming holes awaiting discovery. The cascading notes of rushing water entice you to peel back the verdant curtain and reveal these aquatic treasures nestled within the heart of the rainforest.As the sun weaves its dappled tapestry through the thick canopy, revealing pockets of golden light, the rainforest's inhabitants awaken. An eclectic cast of creatures emerges from their slumber, their movements both graceful and mysterious. Agile tree kangaroos play a captivating game of hide-and-seek amidst the branches, while vibrant cassowaries, guardians of the forest, wander solemnly, their plumage adorned with colors that defy imagination.Beyond the vibrant tapestry of life, the Daintree Rainforest holds profound cultural significance for the Indigenous Kuku Yalanji people, who have nurtured this land for generations. Their ancestral footprints are imprinted upon the forest floor, guiding visitors towards a deeper understanding and appreciation for the intricate web of life that thrives within.To truly experience the Daintree Rainforest is to immerse oneself in its ever-evolving narrative—a story told through the interplay of light and shadow, the symphony of sounds, and the ancient wisdom held within its ancient trees. It is a place that ignites the imagination, inviting introspection and a profound connection with the natural world.The Daintree Rainforest invites you to taste the essence of life itself. So, venture forth, dear traveler, into this realm of mystery and wonder, and let the Daintree Rainforest etch its indelible mark upon your heart and soul.

Most untouched rainforest we’ve seen on our travels! (minus access roads)Had a beautiful Daintree river cruise and saw some wild crocodiles (not disturbed or fed by tours).Throughout the whole day we did not see huge numbers of tourists and the rainforest and public areas were in good condition with no litter or unnecessary infrastructure.Cape Tribulation beach was beautiful- large beach that borders straight onto the mangroves and rainforest.

Loved the walk through the forest. Learning about some of native plants and animals and insects
