A World Heritage Site since 1988, the Daintree Rainforest is home to crystal clear streams and swimming holes, spectacular walks and a few modern essentials like the Daintree Ice Cream Company. Not to mention the pristine beaches of Cape Tribulation and the colourful Great Barrier Reef just off the coast. There’s the chance to spot crocodiles and birdlife on a river cruise and if you are lucky, the ancient cassowary may be lurking in the forest understory. If you don’t reconnect with nature on your trip to the Daintree Rainforest, you may be a lost cause.
