2026 Daintree Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in January)

Introducing the places visited on the second day 🌳 📍 Heritage Lodge in the Daintree Since we stayed here, we started the day by exploring the tropical rainforest within the accommodation grounds 🌿. The river water was crystal clear and beautiful, creating a Jurassic Park-like atmosphere. 📍 Noah Beach A stunning and expansive beach that was incredibly quiet due to the lack of people ⛱️. It felt like having a private beach 🐚. 📍 Madja Boardwalk A boardwalk surrounded by mangroves! You can enjoy the sounds of birds chirping and leaves rustling in the wind, engaging all your senses with nature while having a fun stroll. 📍 Mossman Gorge Although the water was a bit chilly in July, it would feel amazing during summer! Highly recommended for water activities. You can park your car at the facility, and from the entrance to the gorge, there’s a shuttle service costing $15 per person for a round trip. 📍 Trinity Bay Lookout You can enjoy breathtaking views of Four Mile Beach from above. The scenery here is truly stunning, making it a must-visit spot 🌞. 📍 Rex Smeal Park We waited for the sunset in this open space 🧡. Here, you can watch the sun set over the ocean. Since there are many ants, it’s recommended to bring something to sit on. After watching the sunset, we headed back to the city 🚗. Be cautious as the mountain roads can be dark ^_^.

The Madja Boardwalk, located in Daintree National Park, is a natural walking trail where you can easily experience the charm of the tropical rainforest 🌿. With its well-maintained wooden deck, it provides a comfortable walking experience even on muddy paths, making it safe and enjoyable for both children and adults. As you walk along the trail, you'll encounter giant ferns, eucalyptus trees, and the unique vegetation of the wetlands. Occasionally, you might even spot rare birds or butterflies 🦋. Surrounded by the tranquility of the forest, taking a deep breath allows you to truly feel the richness of the rainforest air. The boardwalk is about a 2-hour drive from Cairns. It's recommended to visit alongside other attractions like Mossman Gorge and Daintree Village. Although the trail is relatively short, it's a good idea to prepare for sun exposure and mosquitoes. This relaxing walking route offers an easy way to enjoy the World Heritage-listed tropical rainforest ✨.

Mushroom Jun's Australia Travel Australia, Queensland Two hours from the hotel in Cairns, two hours of jungle leaps, we moved the entire morning exercise to the world's oldest rainforest in. Unwilling to be lonely, the locals in the jungle opened up a place to use the zip line to travel through the rainforest. Exploring the rainforest in this way, the original monotonous green has become a lot more interesting. Every helmet is ingeniously writing the names of the film and television works. I picked Sheldon Cooper in "Big Bang" and thought that Sheldon would never venture into the jungle. It was better for me to take this place. He is done! The entire jungle leap consists of 7-8 strops. Each section has different heights and lengths. The speed and posture can be chosen differently: sitting, standing, walking in the air, as long as there is enough courage. Everything can be challenged. Originally used for mountain self-rescue, military raids, and zip lines for crossing rivers or canyons in remote mountainous areas, it has become a form of entertainment for modern outdoor activities. This also shows that the most natural thing is the happiest.
