Best Daintree Rainforest & Cape Tribulation Tours & Day Trips

Two hours drive from Cairns but a world away from the busy tourist hubbub, the Daintree Rainforest is a precious natural treasure in Queensland’s tropical north. Cross the Daintree River and you will step into the tranquil surroundings of the world’s oldest rainforest. Predating the Amazon by millions of years, the Daintree Rainforest welcomes travellers with its abundant biodiversity, emerald vegetation and ancient Indigenous culture. With no phone reception and not even mains power, a visit to the Daintree Rainforest really is like stepping back in time.

But while you won’t be able to check your Instagram amongst the lush jungle of the Daintree Rainforest, you won’t need to with so many things to see and do. 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.
