Daintree Escape

Daintree Information, Tours,  & Attractions

The Daintree Village is situated in one of the worlds’ most beautiful regions, surrounded by the World Heritage Daintree Rainforest National Park, only 1½ hours drive north of Cairns. The Daintree Region is peaceful & undeveloped with easy access to Cape Tribulation and one of the world’s greatest wonders, the Great Barrier Reef. A exquisite natural place to explore…

Daintree Escape Bed & Breakfast Bungalows are ideally located to take advantage of Tropical North Queensland's extraordinary range of leisure activities, from the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef to the serenity of the World Heritage Daintree Rainforest.

Daintree Village is 90 minutes from Cairns, 45 minutes North of Port Douglas, 30 minutes North of Mossman, 15 minutes to the beach, 45 minutes to Cape Tribulation and surrounded by the Daintree Rainforest National Park.

The Daintree hosts some of the most unique rainforest plants and animals in the World. Arguably the oldest rainforest in the World. In fact 10 times older than the Amazon. The Daintree rainforest is home to an amazing diversity of flora & fauna. Some plant and animal species have been here for over 100 million years. 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.
