Daintree River

Daintree River - majestic, primordial, exciting - a bird-watchers paradise and habitat to an astonishing diversity of wildlife.

Daintree River has long protected the ancient rainforested landscape to the north with its sentinel guard of resident saltwater crocodiles.  Indeed, it was not until the first cable ferry crossing was established in 1958, that vehicular access was made practical.  Less than a dozen years later, humankind discovered the existence of the last remnant of the oldest rainforest in the world.

Today, nature-lovers from around the world converge onto the Daintree River to experience its unique attributes.  As it is with ancient ecosystems, inhabitants enjoy the evolutionary advantages of greater discretion and competitiveness.  Visitors are encouraged to engage with custodial experts for superior interpretive services:
