The award winning Daintree Discovery Centre is the number one attraction in the Daintree. It is a self-funding eco tourism facility that specialises in providing interpretive information about the Daintree Rainforest and its environs. Located just 10 kilometres north of the Daintree River Ferry, the road is sealed all the way - you do not need a four-wheel drive vehicle. The Discovery Centre attracts visitors from all over the world and is highly regarded as a first class eco-tourism experience.

Visitors enjoy the spectacular Aerial Walkway – and maybe see a cassowary meandering along the beautiful McLeans Creek. You can climb the 23 metre high Canopy Tower, explore the Bush Tucker Trail or the Cassowary Circuit, or relax on the reclining benches and gaze up at the giant Strangler Fig. Experienced naturalists are available to answer questions and information is available in six languages.
