Cape Tribulation: Experience the Rainforest

Did you know you can learn twice as much about rainforests by experiencing them firsthand rather than just about them in reading books? What would be a better way to experience the Daintree Rainforest than to actually staying in it? 

While you can book a room in a comfy posh lodge away from the rugged forest, why not try something new and sleep in the World Heritage-protected Daintree Rainforest itself.

When deciding to stay the night in a Daintree Rainforest accommodation, you can experience the living and breathing forest up close.

The Daintree is actually the oldest surviving rainforest in the world, it’s even older than the Amazon Rainforest. It is where the ancient “idiot fruit” is found,one of the most primitive of the flowering plants on the planet.


You might find it unbelievable but there are no dengue mosquitoes in the Daintree and Great Barrier Reef at night. This is just another reason to book your rainforest accommodation.

The Daintree is the perfect place to relax and unwind. Mobile phone coverage is limited in the Daintree and Cape Tribulation. You won’t feel the hustle and bustle of your urban life when on a holiday in this world heritage site.

For the adrenaline junkies, you can jungle surf in the forest or go snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef. Play in the sands of Cape Tribulation by day and retreat to the Daintree for the night. End the day at your rainforest by falling asleep listening to the sounds of different creatures.


There is nothing like getting up close and personal with the Daintree. Make sure to book accomodation in the rainforest next time you are in Far North Queensland.
