Daintree National Park encompasses Cape Tribulation, where tropical rainforest and coral reef meet on a scenic coast. Sandy beaches, mangroves, swamps and wildlife are the main drawcards. Experience two of Australia's most significant World Heritage sites - the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics - where they meet! A stop at Alexandra Range lookout provides a view of the lush green coastline sweeping down to the ocean's inviting blue water.
Daintree National Park is a complex strip of long sandy beaches, rocky headlands and steep mountain ranges intersected by numerous creeks and rivers. One of Australia's last extensive stands of lowland rainforest is found here. Impenetrable ranges, rising steeply from the coast, are blanketed with dense upland rainforests that support many ancient plants and animals. This unique landscape is the traditional country of the Kuku Yalanji.
The Cape Tribulation Section of Daintree National Park (approximately 17 000ha) stretches in a narrow, discontinuous strip from the Daintree River in the south to the Bloomfield River in the north. Rising steeply up from the coast, the McDowall Range forms the western boundary of the park.
