See & Do

See & Do
Relax and recharge around Cockatoo Hill's freshwater, wet-edge pool, with its unfurling vistas of rainforest canopy and the Coral sea beyond. Plot your rainforest adventures: chuck on your hiking boots, buy a snorkel or take one of  the many guided nature walks and forest treks (day or night) on offer. Cruise down the Daintree river and spot the passing crocs, go on a 4WD safari, try jungle surfing (zip line flying), kayaking or horse riding. If that's all a bit too high-octane, you can simply swim (depending on the time of year) off your own deserted beach.

Spa
Submit to a Rainforest Pamper with a clay wrap or a signature Vichy shower treatment at Daintree Natural Therapies and Spa, five minutes away. A bamboo and ginseng body polish will do the trick if you’ve tramped a bit too far. 

Diary Dates
