📅 Itinerary
Day1:travelled from Cairns up the coast to Port Douglas, stops along the way:
· Palm Cove-really great vibey place. Great to walk all along the coast. Excellent cafes and shops
· Hartleys Crocodile Farm- much better than expected great fun for people of all ages
· Four mile beach and Yorkeys Knob -beautiful coastline
Day2: an absolute must is Mossman Gorge. Absolutely stunning. The 2.7km hike is not hard but you really do need to have some level of fitness to do it. It is simply stunning however if you can only just get to see the rock pools
🏨 Accommodation - we stayed at the Mantra Inlet in Port Douglas. Good basic room and cheap but not recommended if you don’t like stairs.
🍴 Food Recommendations -don’t miss the Tin Shed. The food was excellent, great value with stunning views of the sunset
📌 Tips - we went up to The Daintree village but it was a waste of time. I would give it a miss

Daintree Rainforest, Queensland — Where Ancient Forest Meets the Great Barrier Reef 🌿🌊
Step into one of the world's most remarkable natural landscapes: the Daintree Rainforest in Tropical North Queensland. This ancient wilderness is filled with towering trees, dense green foliage, winding rivers, and incredible wildlife. It is part of the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area and offers a memorable escape into nature.
One of the region’s highlights is Mossman Gorge, where clear water flows over smooth granite boulders beneath the rainforest canopy. Further north, Cape Tribulation offers a rare and beautiful sight: lush rainforest slopes meeting sandy tropical beaches beside the Coral Sea.
Visitors can explore elevated rainforest boardwalks, take a scenic cruise along the Daintree River, and look for native wildlife such as cassowaries and colourful birds. The Dubuji and Jindalba boardwalks are lovely ways to experience the forest at a relaxed pace, while Mount Alexandra Lookout rewards visitors with sweeping views across the coastal lowlands.
For a comfortable visit, the drier months from May to September are generally a good time to explore. Wear comfortable shoes, bring water and insect repellent, and follow local safety signs. Crocodiles may inhabit waterways, so only enter water where authorities specifically permit swimming.
Nearby attractions: Mossman Gorge, Cape Tribulation, and the Daintree River.
📍 Location: Daintree National Park, Far North Queensland, Australia
