Things To Do

Explore The Daintree

There is an abundance of things to do in the region, both in and around the Daintree. We have listed the top experiences to ensure our guests get the most out of their visit. There is sure to be an adventure for everyone.

Whilst there are many things to see and do in the Daintree Village, a lot of the experiences are a short drive from the Ecolodge. It is recommended to have your own car; however, our staff can arrange tours which pick up and drop off to the property if that is your preferred way to travel and explore.
