Daintree-Regenwald
Where the rainforest meets the reef — guided walks with Indigenous Kuku Yalanji rangers.
About Daintree Rainforest
At 180 million years old, the Daintree is the oldest continuously surviving tropical rainforest on earth — older than the Amazon. It is the only place on earth where two UNESCO World Heritage areas meet: the Daintree and the Great Barrier Reef.
Indigenous-guided walks with the Kuku Yalanji people offer an experience you cannot get anywhere else — bushtucker tasting, ancient medicinal plant knowledge, and Dreamtime stories handed down for tens of thousands of years.
