Cairns to Daintree Rainforest Drive
🚗9 mapped stops
From the tropical city of Cairns north through palm-fringed beaches and sugar cane fields to the oldest rainforest on Earth. The drive passes resort-town Port Douglas, crosses the crocodile-patrolled Daintree River by cable ferry, and ends where two World Heritage areas meet — the Daintree Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef.
이 투어의 정차 지점 (9)
- 1 Cairns Esplanade Lagoon The starting point — a free, lifeguarded saltwater pool on the Cairns foreshore because the ocean here has stingers and crocs, so locals built their own beach
- 2 Palm Cove The most refined beach village north of Cairns — a double row of melaleuca trees lines the esplanade, and the restaurants here outclass anything on the tourist strip
- 3 Rex Lookout A clifftop pullover on the Captain Cook Highway with sweeping views over the Coral Sea — paragliders launch from here, riding the sea breeze updrafts along the escarpment
- 4 Port Douglas — Macrossan Street The main street of the Daintree's base camp — a single strip of restaurants, dive shops, and boutiques where the reef meets the rainforest, with Dickson Inlet marina at one end
- 5 Four Mile Beach, Port Douglas A perfect crescent of sand fringed with coconut palms — patrolled in stinger season, and at low tide the beach extends so far you can barely see the waterline
- 6 Mossman Gorge A sacred Kuku Yalanji site where crystal-clear water rushes over enormous granite boulders through ancient rainforest — the Dreamtime stories here predate the pyramids
- 7 Daintree River Ferry Crossing The cable ferry that crosses the crocodile-inhabited Daintree River — the last stretch of sealed road before you enter the world's oldest continuously surviving rainforest
- 8 Daintree Discovery Centre An elevated boardwalk through the rainforest canopy with a 23-metre aerial walkway — audio guides narrate the 180-million-year-old ecosystem surrounding you on all sides
- 9 Cape Tribulation Beach Where the rainforest literally meets the reef — the only place on Earth where two UNESCO World Heritage areas grow side by side, named by Captain Cook after his ship ran aground nearby
