The Best of the Rainforest and Reef at Your Doorstep...
The World's Oldest Living Rainforest

The Greater Daintree Rainforest has existed continuously for more than 110 million years. Most importantly, it represents the largest surviving tract of tropical lowland rainforest on the Australian continent, remnant of Gondwana land.

The Wet Tropics are home to the greatest concentration of bird species on the continent and attracts birdwatchers from around the globe. The Daintree Rainforest contains 430 recorded species of birdlife (over half the bird species of Australia). Over half of Australia’s pigeons, nine out of the ten Kingfisher species, the illusive Cassowary, most of the cuckoos and seven out of nine of Australia’s owls can be seen in the Daintree, and this is just the start.

There are also 13 endemic species to the Daintree region and it is the only place in the world where two World Heritage Areas meet - the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics Daintree Rainforest.
