Emmagen Creek

Great place to stop and have a little bite to eat and explore whilst you’re travelling through the Daintree rainforest

This is a hidden gem. Not too far off the beaten track in the Daintree is Emmagen Creek. The locals tell us that it is really the only croc-free" place to swim up that way and really

This is a great spot to swim. It has some really deep sections and shallow sections got plenty of rocks a swing fish. We felt safe here and met numerous people every day we went up. The water was clean the area was just fantastic it’s about a three minute walk from the road but very much worth it.

Lovely clear stream. Plenty of people were swimming while cars were fording the water to the road on the other side.

Wonderful secluded swimming spot in the Daintree that not many people seem to go to. We had it all to ourselves for a good 30 minutes in the middle of the day.Make sure to take the left path before the dip where 4WD pass through and look for a tree with many roots. You won’t be disappointed!

A wonderful place to cool off right in the middle of the Daintree.One of, if not the only safe place to swim up here as per the locals recommendations.The water is crystal clear and a beautiful temperature to enjoy a dip and the scenery is simply stunning, as you relax in the running creek.The day we came here it was incredibly busy which is unfortunate but we didn't let it deter us.When parking your car be mindful of the amount of room other vehicles need to pass by on the dirt road.The creek is accessible by 2WD vehicles and is only a short stroll depending on whether you park your car at the top or bottom of the hill, but remember if you park at the bottom, the constant supply of tour bus operators require additional space to turn around as they too park right at the creeks edge.

Great swimming hole, we were lucky enough to practically get the whole place to ourselves the other day. We parked at the end of the road where the river crosses and walked up the path on the left side, continue to take the path to the right side and you will come to the swimming hole. It is an easy 10-15 minute walk, even with kids. The water is cool and clear, but gets deep towards the otherside, with easy access in and out. I do recommend sandals/thongs that you can wear into the water as it is all rocks, if you have sensitive feet.

Peaceful spot to swim in crystal clear water and enjoy the serenity of the Daintree. Yes, you will be sharing your experience with others ( including fish) but the 4 legged scally reptiles apparently don't have this spot on their visit list!

Beautiful place to cool off for a swim (at your own risk!) There are Achtung signs, however lot's of people swim there and I was recommended to my by a local.This is the last point on the road that you can get to without a 4wd...I recommend taking it slow for the 5 or so Kms approaching as there are some large ruts and washouts on the road that are hard to spot until the last second. Would be easy to loose a front spoiler, or worse!

Nice place to take a dip. Crocs shouldn't be around to bother you in this clear-watered steam. The road runs through it so don't play right in the roadway.
