DAINTREE

The Daintree Rainforest is situated an easy 2 hour drive north of Cairns along beautiful coastal roads, sugarcane fields and rainforest covered mountains. Explore ancient rainforest and pristine coral gardens.

The World Heritage listed Daintree Rainforest is the place to visit if you are after a holiday experience like no other. This pristine rainforest is one of the most diverse and beautiful examples of nature in the world. Breathtaking scenery abounds as rainforest-clad mountains sweep down to long sandy beaches that meet with the edge of the Great Barrier Reef. What makes this area more spectacular is that it is the only place on earth where these two World Heritage sites exist side by side.
