Guided Interpretive Rainforest Walk

Your day will start with an Indigenous Guided Rainforest Walk with an Indigenous guide, who will explain more about the species that exist in this tropical habitat. On this walk, you will also learn about the Kuku Yalanji tribe - the Rainforest Aboriginals - who were, and still are, the original inhabitants and guardians of the spirit of the rainforest.

While also sharing personal stories with you - you'll hear stories about mission life and removal from traditional lands, and come to understand the importance of the land and the impact of European colonisation.

Interpretive walks and the plight of the modern day Aboriginal helps to preserve their unique traditional culture. All revenue generated through Daintree Eco Lodge & Spa's guided interpretive walks is reinvested to further develop and extend on the concept of sharing this ecological and cultural wonder.

Lunch with a Native Twist

Following the walk, treat yourself to lunch with a native twist prepared in the Julaymba Restaurant & Gallery by internationally acclaimed chefs. Julaymba Restaurant & Gallery, with it's balcony terrace, overlooks the peaceful fresh water lagoon and is accessible via elevated boardwalks through the lush rainforest. It is uniquely crafted to compliment the rainforest setting and capture the serenity of the fresh water stream flowing beneath.

After Lunch the two day packages options go their respective ways. Options here are either a 60 min Spa treatment or get involved in an Interactive Aboriginal Art and Cultural Workshop and learn how to create the dot paintings for which the Aboriginal people throughout Australia are renowned for.
