Amazing wild life
The Daintree River abounds with wildlife and has become a bird watcher's haven. The area's most infamous inhabitants of all are the estuarine crocodiles which you might see sunning themselves or gliding through the water. You might also spot a tree snake curled high among the canopy or a tawny frog mouthed owl. Watch the foliage for the stunning elkhorns, bird's nest ferns, a variety of orchids and other tropical epiphytes that grow high up near the forest canopy.

Natural Paradise
Around 17,000 hectares between Daintree River and Cape Tribulation is declared National Park and much of the area is also World Heritage listed to ensure protection of the rainforests which have been evolving for the past 120 million years. Plants representing all stages of the evolution over the last 400 million years are found here.
