vibrant surrounding coral reef community.
The Daintree Rainforest is a tropical rainforest 2
hours north of Trinity Beach. At 1200 square
kilometres, it is the largest continuous area that
contains 30% of Australia’s frog, marsupial and
reptile species, 65% of the bat and butterfly
species and 20% of birds in a landmass of only 0.2%
of the country. In 1988 it was added to the World
Heritage Listings in recognition of its universal
natural values.
As you ascend the Alexandra Range you will be amazed
at the outstanding beauty of where the Rainforest
meets the Reef. Experience the grandeur of the
Daintree’s most spectacular fan-palm dominated
rainforest. Enjoy Cape Tribulation, named by Captain
Cook and experience Weary Bay. Boardwalks, treks on
the forest floor, walk on white sand, swim in the
turquoise Coral Sea. (Tours
