Supberbly developed tourist walks with low impact to the rainforest. Four easily accessible boardwalks (each show cases the different parts of the Rainforest, to make time to do them all) and a lovely natural Jindala route. Lots to see and appreciate.

What a stunning rainforest. Take a drive through it, train or walk you won’t be disappointed. Absolutely stunning eco system!

It was fortunate that we visited this area when there were border closures. The National Park was tranquil and quiet. Beautiful beaches fringing lush green rain forest. A must-do is to do the boardwalks. You don't need to do those elevated boardwalks where you have to pay. The free boardwalks will give you a more natural experience.

I visited on a day tour which took me across the Daintree river to Mount Alexandra Lookout & Thornton beach up to Cape Tribulation, with a few stops in between such as the Marrdja walk and Daintree ice cream shop. A very rewarding day and great to have a guide along to talk about the Daintree at length with enthusiasm, although the roads are paved all the way to Cape Tribulation so the drive can easily be done in any car.
While a day tour is great, if you do a bit of prior research on places to stop at along the way, you can pretty much control your own day and stop anywhere you like with your own vehicle. There are a few small shops along the way, and in the dry season the road is very easy to drive on.

Beautiful National Park. Plenty of walks of varying fitness and difficulty levels. Amazing to see the meeting place of two of the world's natural wonders.
If you are fortunate you may see a cassowary!

The national park was okay, nice to see trees and bushes over 180+ million years old. We were given hard copy pamphlets and a tour audio system. Would’ve been nice to have these electronically - either audio online or pamphlets in PDFs online that we can download to minimise environmental impact - I’m guessing it’s a bit hard to implement this given the poor reception.

Driving through the abundant rainforest was a beautiful and relaxing experience. Plenty of amazing scenery. Limited mobility didn’t stop us from enjoying the sights although disappointed that so many places to eat were closed on a. O day or due to tour groups.
On the return journey we were lucky to encounter Daddy Cassowary with his youngster in tow.

Beautiful rainforest .
Eas access by car from Port Douglas.
Sealed road to Cape Tribulation.
Worth stopping at the various parking spots to venture into the rainforest and see the pristine jungle.
Lookout for crocodiles!

Hello
We will be in Port Douglas from sept 10th to 13th (with a car like toyota Corolla) . I just want to know what we can do on our own (by foot or by car) and what we can do with a tourguide (by feet, or car , or boat with an idea of cost and duration) to visit Mossman Cascade and Daintree forest
Thanks in advance

I would like to stay in Daintree National Park. Where would you suggest?

Hi. There are a few Eco-Lodges in the Daintree itself. Which are good and can be found via goggle etc. But personally I would normally stay in Port Douglas and drive up for the day - about an hours drive. PD also has a lot to offer the visitor.

Hello, if I were to self-drive, do I need to rent a 4wd or would compact car suffice? cheers

A standard small car is fine in the dry season. A 4wd may be necessary in big wet seasons as there are some creek crossings. If too wet the main river crossing can flood out. Hope this helps :)

Does anyone have suggested itineraries for self-drive, self-guided tours? We will have 1 full day to explore north of the river, departing Daintree Village.

We drove up to daintree from port Douglas. We drove first to jungle surfing (highly recommend doing this in the morning as it does get sticky as it gets warmer) and checked out myall beach after then went a bit further up to cape tribulation (stunning!!) before heading back down stopping at Noah beach, marrdja boardwalk, Thornton beach and cow bay. There’s a nice river you can swim at behind masons cafe too. We didn’t plan our drive home just stopped where we wanted to but each beach is so different from the last despite being so close so I’d recommend checking them out. Do take insect repellant if doing jungle walks and mangroves.

Hi there,
I'm having difficulty finding information online but I was wondering if you'd have availability for 27th evening? Only one night for 3 people (1 male, 2 females). If you could let me know on ssshirleypim hotmail com I'd be most grateful. And if it is available, the best way to book or a number to call?
Thanks in advance!
