The Daintree is a region of breathtaking tropical rainforest in Queensland’s far north. Explore the vivid landscape of Mossman Gorge, the coursing Daintree River, the ancient rainforests of Cape Tribulation and the northern beaches of the Coral Sea. Daintree National Park is one of Australia’s largest and oldest rainforests. Bushwalk through the forest, cruise down the river or enjoy a spa treatment in the stunning surroundings. Discover the rainforest on a guided bushwalk. See marsupials, butterflies and cassowaries roaming throughout the trees. Over 430 species of birds fill the air with rainforest birdsong. If you like adventure, join a treetop zip-line tour, ride a horse through the lush eucalypts or take a four-wheel drive trip on the Bloomfield Track. One of the oldest continuously surviving tropical rainforests in the world, the Daintree Rainforest is a time capsule from a prehistoric era. Learn about its history on an Aboriginal cultural tour with the Kuku Yalanji or Gugu Yimithirr peoples, who have remained custodians of the region for thousands of years. Embark on a wildlife-watching cruise down the mighty Daintree River or Coopers Creek. Journey past mangroves and estuaries and spot saltwater crocodiles swimming below the water’s surface. Catch barramundi or mudcrabs on a river fishing tour. Fly into Cairns Airport and rent a car to make your way to the Daintree. The southern border of the 95-kilometre (60-mile) Daintree region is approximately a 1-hour drive north from Cairns. Book your accommodation in Cairns, Port Douglas or the tiny settlement of Daintree Village on the banks of the Daintree River. Choose from wilderness retreats, lavish resorts and budget lodgings. The region is warm year-round with a wintertime dry season. Sudden tropical downpours replenish the forest in the warmer months. Take advantage of your proximity to the Great Barrier Reef and visit this World Heritage Site. Join a diving tour and discover vibrantly coloured coral and marine life. - Top hotels in Daintree - Top Holiday Rentals in Daintree ![Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/10000/8100/8065/71185deb_y.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=340&ch=150) ### Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas Port Douglas Road Port Douglas QLD £200 9 Feb - 10 Feb includes taxes & fees Stay at this beach hotel in Port Douglas.
