The Daintree Rainforest is an easy two-hour drive north of Cairns (about 70 km).

As a living record of the evolutionary history of Australia's plants and animals during the past 400 million years, the Daintree is included in the World Heritage-Listed sites in 1988.

This tropical paradise is home to cassowaries, crocodiles, tree-kangaroos and an abundance of rich birdlife.

Walk along the pristine white sands of Cape Tribulation beach and cruise on the calm waters of the Daintree River - keep your eyes peeled for the saltwater crocodiles and other wildlife.

For the adventurous, join a tour on the Jungle Surf where your feet don't touch the ground!

This unique eco-adventure flies you through the trees on flying fox ziplines, stopping at tree platforms for spectacular bird's eye views over the treetops and out to the reef.
