the other side of this rainforest. One that is more into the dark side of
nature. So now you ask... what surprises can this rainforest reveal at night?
What treasures can one find in the middle of the dark? Let's find out. Grab
your torch and read the reasons why you should try the Daintree rainforest
night walk.
1.
It's like traveling through time.
The
night walk will make you feel like jumping back through time. The Daintree
Rainforest had preserved its appearance for millions of years. It almost feels
like you are walking through a night museum. It has living exhibits of ancient
trees, plants, insects and animals that never evolved. This is a perfect
opportunity for you to learn specially if you signed up for a walk that
includes a tour guide that can tell you the rich history of the region.
2.
Get to know another world.
Visiting the forest at night can make you
feel like you just stepped into another world. The Daintree completely
transforms itself by dusk as you hear the sounds of crickets, owls and other
animals. Some tours even turn off their lights for a couple of minutes so that
you can really feel the mystic side of the Daintree.
3.
Connect with nature.
Joining a night walk can give you a deeper
understanding of nature. You will have first-hand experience at how the night
affects the plants in the Daintree. Some tours even recommend the use of
torches rather than flash lights to give you authentic nature experience.
4.
Meet the nocturnal animals.
Of course, the highlight of the tour is to
meet as much night creatures as possible. Listen as the rainforest is filled
with the croaks and clicks of insects, the scurrying of bandicoots and the
slow, deliberate slighter of snakes. You can also look for crocs lurking in the
area. Some tours shine flashlights on them so you can see their eyes glow.
5.
Face challenging trails.
Aside from being educational, night tours can
also be a bit of a physical challenge. You will experience walking through
rocky trails and muddy slopes as you go along. It will be one adventure you
won't forget.
The dark scene and the glistening moonlight
add to the mystic of the Daintree. This is an experience you should never miss
when you book a Cape Tribulation tour. So head out and go on your own
Daintree night adventure.
