The rainforest of Daintree is so vast and lush, it reaches out to the edge of the sea. Situated along Queensland’s east coast 125 km north of Cairns, the Daintree is one of the most naturally diverse and unique places in Australia. Take a tour down the Daintree River or through the heart of the world’s oldest surviving rainforest. When the trees clear, tranquil water and golden beaches stretch out before you, unpopulated and pristine. Because most of the land in the area is protected, sustainable practices leave the wildlife unscathed by man. If you do seek a bit of manmade culture, stop in Port Douglas to stroll among historic buildings and dine at fine restaurants. Stay near the action with Port Douglas accommodation if shops and galleries are on your itinerary.
