The Daintree Rainforest Retreat's central position, enables easy access to all the Daintree has to offer, from relaxing on our golden sandy beaches under a shady tree, only metres from the azure water, to cruising the beautiful Daintree River or Coopers Creek, photographing unique wildlife including saltwater crocodiles. A meander along the JINDALBA, MARDJA or FAN PALM all weather board walk's will enthrall as you pass huge trees centuries old, and tiny delicate ferns some only one cell think yet all dating back millions of years.hose who are more energetic might like to climb the TREE TOP TOWER at the DAINTREE ENVIORONMENT CENTRE ,where you can take in every level of the forest right up to the canopy some 23 meters (75ft) high, Enjoy a 4WD Tour of the Rainforest or venture further to Cooktown, with one of the many experienced tour operators in the area. Adventure to a CROC SPOTTING tour or a NIGHT TOUR of the Jungle. The Retreat is happy to organize and pre-book your tours to ensure you don't miss out. No holiday to Far North Queensland would be complete without a trip out to the GREAT BARRIER REEF. Be it fishing with experienced guides that can take you out to a world of piscatorial heaven, (you can bring your own boat too!) or SNORKELING & DIVING with the crew on one of the local reef tours, taking you out to unspoiled reefs of multi-coloured fish and coral. Some of the best reefs of the whole Great Barrier Reef system start from the Cow Bay offshore area due to the lack of agricultural run off from the mainland. If you want to see the Reef in its natural state, Tropical Far North Queensland is the place to go.

Getting There:

Driving your own car is without a doubt the best way to visit the Daintree area as there is so much to see and do. However, a daily bus service runs from Cairns and Port Douglas
