Daintree Holiday Specials

When are you going to travel?

If the Great Barrier Reef is unforgettable, then the rainforests of the Wet Tropics of Tropical North Queensland offer an equally inspiring natural experience. Here in the oxygen factory of the world, millions of plants, many dating back to the dawn of time, form a matrix supporting a living, breathing mosaic of insects, reptiles and mammals. In this setting is the quiet unspoilt Daintree village which nestles in a bend of the green waters of the mighty Daintree River. Crossing the Daintree river by vehicular ferry (as no bridge exists), visitors follow the road which winds it way north through pristine rainforest, and over tidal crocodile inhabited rivers and creeks. In the middle of the Daintree rainforest lies Cape Tribulation, - so named by Captain Cook - is one of the only areas in the world where the rainforest meets the reef.

Visitors can travel north along the Captain Cook Highway, renowned as one of Australia’s most scenic drives. Visit Mossman Gorge, before crossing the Daintree River on board a cable driven ferry to visit the Daintree Discovery Centre. Climb the canopy tower or experience the rainforest aerial boardwalks for an insight into the World Heritage Rainforest. Explore Cape Tribulation Beach, and cruise the majestic Daintree River, spotting for wildlife.

The Daintre is a pocket of ancient tropical rainforest locked in a biological time capsule on the driest continent on earth. Sample the unique flora and wildlife of the Daintree's wet tropic coastal lowlands and the mysteries of its evolution and survival over millions of years. The region is one of the most complex ecosystems on Earth - one hectare can hold some 30,000 different species of plants, reptiles, mammals, birds, insects and other organisms - and has the richest Flora and Fauna diversity in Australia.
