It's an experience! An Australian national treasure. But not what I expected of a National Park. Much of the rainforest is inaccessible between Alexander lookout and Cape Tribulation because it is privately owned and or devoted to farming. Plenty of "tourist" opportunities, but during school holidays the roads are a treacherous stream of speeding 4wds and hire cars. I was actually hearted though, that despite this, there were very few animal fatalities on that stretch of road; (especially compared to the appalling death toll of Tasmanian natives on all Tasmanian roads.). Stunning beaches with good, clear warnings for the dangers of crocodiles and stingers. I highly recommend the Daintree Discovery Centre for it's very helpful booklet; a veritable Hitchhiker's Guide to the Rainforest, and the interactive experience it offers to people of all abilities and ages.

Go see the Daintree, you can't know it until you experience it.

(If you come from a dry climate stock up on light weight, synthetic, easy dry clothes, and microfiber towels before you go there... you have been warned. This is a "rain"forest steamy and damp 99%...

The National parking it's is an Amazing place. I feel that tourism business have declined over the last 10 years. Cafes are only open when it suits and place's have closed down without anything online or signage. At Cape Tribulation itself if it wasn't for the turtle rock cafes reliable hours of business then it would be hard to find meal. There are other options but the opening hours and days are not reliable. Best if you are going is to bring as much food and drinks as you will need for your stay to avoid disappointment. I think with covid restrictions on over seas travel and Australians forced to travel internally this is going to be a once in a lifetime opportunity missed by FNQ tourism to get back to where it once was 15-20 years ago. Since then the SE Asian market has taken a fair slice of what was theirs offering cheap holidays. I will definitely be back purley because the place is so beautiful but lesson learnt will be less money spent with the local businesses just because they are so unreliable. This place really need someone to take the bull by the horns before it...
