The Daintree Village, just an hour-and-a-half drive from Cairns or 45 minutes from Port Douglas, is the perfect base from which to explore the region.
Daintree Accommodation caters for all budgets, from the ultra-swish, multi-award-winning Daintree Spa's with private cabins perched in the rainforest, to the recently-refurbished Daintree Riverview Caravan Park with its stunning views of the Daintree River.

A great spot for lunch is Daintree's Big Barramundi Garden, which serves local barra, crocodile and emu lunches until late afternoon daily, just a stone's throw from the Daintree River.

From the Daintree Village, the wonder of Daintree Australia and Cape Tribulation is on your doorstep. There are flora species that have survived almost unchanged for 110 million years. Indeed, these rainforests actually contain several of the first flowering plants (called angiosperms), which were the origins of all plant life.

You can make your own way into the Daintree via the Daintree Ferry. It's the only cable ferry in tropical Australia, and drops you on the southern part of the lowland Daintree Rainforest. The ferry operates from 6:00am to midnight every day.

There are plenty of Daintree Rainforest day trips and activities to choose from including Aboriginal guided rainforest walks with the local Kuku Yalanji people, river wildlife cruises, guided bird spotting, Cape Tribulation safaris, river fishing, horse riding and bike riding, exploring secluded beaches and 4WD safaris.

Cooper Creek Wilderness offers guided day and night interpretive rainforest tours. Or you can tackle the tracks on your own on the Marrdja Boardwalk, a 1.1km loop which takes 30 minutes.

You don't need a champagne budget to explore the beauty of the Daintree. It's one of the best driving adventures around and it's right on our doorstep.
