The Daintree River flows at the base of the magnificent Thornton’s Peak where you will find the oldest continually surviving tropical rainforest on earth.
The Daintree region is one of Australia’s premier wildlife locations, and in particular bird life. The Daintree Village is internationally recognised as a premier bird watching and wildlife location. There are excellent specialized bird watching tours departing the Daintree Village daily and crocodile spotting & wildlife river cruises departing hourly.
