Travel to Daintree National Park

Located just north of Port Douglas, the Daintree Rainforest is a dense jungle area part of the Australian Wet Tropics environment protected by World Heritage Listing, United Nations. The Daintree Rainforest is amongst the most ancient ecosystems on earth with more than 18,000 known plant species exist. Some trees are more than 2,500 years old.

Towering fan palms stretch towards the sunlight filtering through the rainforest canopy, while the brilliance of the colored flowers liven up the surrounds. Hiding in this lush paradise is some of the worlds most unique and spectacular wildlife. Catch a glimpse of the colorful parrots as they fly through the canopy or the timid and friendly lizards that scurry across the rainforest floor.

It is possible to access some National Park rainforest areas by car, where you can hike through marked paths through the jungle but much of the Daintree is inaccessible wilderness. Only experienced hikers penetrate its heart. However, it is highly recommended that you take a tour through the more dense rainforest areas where this living museum will come to life with the expert guides explanation.
