Cape Tribulation & Daintree Rainforest Day Tour

Explore the oldest rainforest in the world on this incredible Daintree Rainforest tour! The 135-million-year-old rainforest of Cape Tribulation is the most ancient and primitive in the world. Many species originated when Australia was part of Gondwana, more than 120 million years ago.

These rainforests have been inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1988 in recognition of their universal natural values as.
