Daintree & Cape Trib — Where the Rainforest Meets the Reef

North of the Daintree River lies one of the last places on earth where two UNESCO World Heritage areas meet — ancient rainforest tumbling straight into the Great Barrier Reef. The Daintree is the world's oldest tropical rainforest, over 135 million years old, and home to plants and animals found nowhere else on the planet.

Cross the Daintree ferry into a wilderness that pre-dates the dinosaurs, swim in crystal-clear gorge pools at Mossman, spot saltwater crocodiles on a river cruise, and set foot on Cape Tribulation beach — where the rainforest literally runs into the coral sea.
