Daintree Rainforest

Rainforest Port Douglas, Queensland, Australia

What to expect

The Daintree Rainforest is a breathtaking natural marvel estimated to be around 135 million years old, making it the oldest living rainforest on earth. It is also the only place in the world where two World Heritage-listed sites meet, the rainforest and the reef. The rainforest spans over 17,000ha and is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including southern cassowaries, king ferns, and prehistoric crocodiles. Visitors can explore the rainforest through boardwalks, river cruises, and guided tours, and relax in luxury in off-grid rainforest retreats. The Daintree Rainforest is a unique ecosystem that offers a range of experiences, from adventure activities like hiking and swimming to relaxing in a luxury spa and learning about the traditional custodians of the land, the Kuku Yalanji
