Wildlife of every kind flourishes in the Daintree River. From special birds such as the Double-eyed Fig Parrot and Beach Stone-curlew to the area's most infamous inhabitant: estuarine crocodiles. You can watch crocodiles eating, sunning themselves on the mangrove-lined banks, or gliding through the water - all from the safety of a boat on one of many Daintree River tours and cruises.
Or press pause on adventure for a little while and dine on fresh barramundi at one of the local restaurants. Browse art and craft shops, and soak up the lifestyle and ambience of this laidback village.
Daintree is just under two hours' drive north of Cairns.
