This truly unique and spectacular part of Queensland contains some of the world’s most amazing beaches and the world famous Daintree Rainforest.


Daintree Village is a small town with friendly people. In Barra Café you can pick up a snack and get more detailed information about the area, this is also the only place, where your can buy your ticket for the entrance to Riverhome Rainforest Walks. It is a property that has been opened up to the public on the edge of the Daintree National Park. After about a half-hour walk you will get to a magnificent waterfall and swimming hole, with wild perch and snapping tortoises.


There are several ways to explore the river, depending on how and what you want to see it. You can hire a boat, go on a guided group tour, an eco-friendly boat or on a river train and see the river, which is lined with mangroves and sandbanks and home to crocodiles, birds, and snakes.


There are not a lot of options when it comes to accommodation, if you are not interested in an expensive ECO lodge. If you have an campervan, then you can head back out towards lovely Trinity Beach and stay in one of the small caravan parks.
