The northern sector of Queensland is a tropical paradise, home to the World Heritage-listed double acts of the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest. This wet tropics region is rich in natural beauty and unique wildlife.
Starting from Cairns, a series of seaside villages extends northwards, nestled between emerald forests and turquoise waters. Port Douglas, once a sleepy beachfront village, has transformed into a tropical playground while retaining its classic Queensland charm. The soft sands of Four Mile Beach gently curve along the edge of Port Douglas and remain blissfully uncrowded.
Further north lies the Daintree, the oldest tropical rainforest on the planet, home to plants and wildlife found nowhere else on Earth. Take a cruise on the Daintree River for an up-close view of wildlife, including the elusive saltwater crocodile, or join a guided walk through the vivid green ferns and ancient tree canopy. Crossing the river on the Daintree Ferry leads you to Cape Tribulation, where the rainforest meets the reef. Here, on this wild and often deserted coastline, you can walk on the beach with Aboriginal guides, hunt mud crabs, and explore a land that time forgot.
