Daintree River

The Daintree River is a spectacular entry into the Daintree Rainforest, home to hundreds of fish and crustacean species and over half of the world's mangrove species. The river is also home to the prehistoric estuarine crocodile, or saltwater crocodile, making it a prime location for 'croc spotting'. Guided river tours are available, offering scenic views and opportunities to spot the diverse wildlife. The Daintree River flows through the heart of the Daintree region, which is known for its exceptional biodiversity and ancient vegetation. The region is bounded by the MacDonnell Range to the west and the Coral Sea to the east, and is home to the World Heritage Listed Great Barrier Reef and the oldest continuous living tropical rainforests in the world
