THE DAINTREE

Where the Forest Meets the Sea.

THE DAINTREE TRIPFeel the gentle warmth of the tropics on your skin, inhale the pure, clean scent of the most ancient rainforest on Earth. This sunburnt corner of Australia is the only destination to encounter adjacent 2 World Heritage sites – where the Ancient Rainforest and the magnificent Daintree River meet untouched coastal ranges and the calm, azure waters of the Coral Sea, home to the Great Barrier Reef.

STAY

You will be staying at The Daintree Eco Lodge & Spa, located in the middle of the Daintree Rainforest and adjacent to the majestic Daintree River. Relax in one of the ‘Bayans’, a private tree house and experience near total seclusion amongst the rainforest. A micro screen balcony offers stunning, immersive view of therainforest, creek or waterlily lagoon.

SNORKELERS

Marvel at colourful coral gardens, giant clams, sea turtles and an abundance of diverse marine life. Swim up close to the coral reefs and the abundance of marine life or stay dry on the glass bottom boat while viewing the spectacular fish, corals and whatever other beautiful sights Mother Nature has in store for you. You may also be lucky enough to come close and personal with the seasonal migrating Dwarf Minke Whales.

EXPLORE

Take an Aboriginal Guided Walk and Art Class to experience a unique interaction with the Kuku Yalanji’s cultural harmony with nature.

DINE

Dine at the Julaymba Restaurant & Bar set in a rainforest and lagoon setting. The menu draws inspiration from the tropical surrounds showcasing the finest contemporary Australian cuisine prepared from fresh, local ingredients.

THE GROUNDS
