Daintree Discovery Centre
A nature education centre in the Daintree rainforest. A 23-metre canopy tower and aerial walkway take you through the rainforest layer by layer, from the ground to the treetops.
Daintree Discovery Centre lies about 10 kilometres north of the Daintree River ferry crossing and is the best introduction to the humid tropical rainforest. The grounds feature an elevated aerial walkway, a 23-metre canopy observation tower (which explains the ecology at five different heights) and a rainforest loop trail. Multilingual audio guides, including Chinese, are available, along with exhibits on cassowaries and ancient plants from the age of the dinosaurs. Tickets allow multiple entries. Allow 1.5–2 hours, and combine your visit with the Alexandra Lookout on the same trip.
