Cooper Creek Wilderness Daintree Rainforest Tours
Cooper Creek Wilderness takes exclusive tours through the sacred heart of the world's oldest rainforest, the Daintree Rainforest, Cape Tribulation, Queensland, Australia. Cooper Creek Wilderness is a privately owned World Heritage Nature Refuge. Knowledgeable local experts guide small exclusive groups through outstanding rainforest.
All walks are on natural trails that traverse a variety of forest types including magnificent fan palm galleries that are incomparable. There are no boardwalks or intrusion of other people to spoil the natural values. This is nature at its best.
In the Daintree, mass tourism uses public facilities that by necessity separate the visitor from the forest with man-made structures such as boardwalks. Don't accept this mediocrity. Seek out the best and exclusive rainforest experiences with Cooper Creek Wilderness and find out from experts why the Daintree is considered the world's oldest rainforest.

CCW1 Two Hour Guided Interpreted Day TourCooper Creek Wilderness occupies the centrepiece of the solitary place on the planet where two World Heritage properties unite in a masterpiece of natural and cultural splendour. The structural integrity of the entire landscape is built around an anchorage of densely packed trees of varying diameter; mostly with exaggerated buttress roots. Contiguous crowns are knitted into an interconnected whole by comprehensive networks of vine. Visitors to the Daintree need to search out the very heart of the forest, directly below the central mountain, Thornton Peak where the inspirational beauty of unique fan palm galleries is complemented by the most diverse and primitive rainforest in the Daintree. All walks are in small exclusive groups with an expert local guide. Access may be unsuitable for persons with limited mobility; wildlife behaviour and fauna sightings are unpredictable. Participants need to accept the risks and uncertainties associated with a genuine wilderness experience. Advanced Ecotourism Accredited. CCW2 Two Hour Guided Interpreted Night ToursThe greatest opportunity to observe some of Australia's most unique wildlife in natural habitat occurs after nightfall. Temperature, rainfall and moonlight all have profound effects on wildlife behaviour. The most ideal conditions occur on the hottest, wettest and darkest nights. By contrast, brightly moonlit nights in the middle of the cooler, drier periods confer significantly greater challenges. Cooper Creek Wilderness night walks ethically immerse the traveller into the very depths of the world's oldest surviving rainforest. There are no artificial structures linked to the security of a roadside carpark. Inhabitant guides select a different trail on successive nights to showcase the authenticity of the nocturnal landscape and particularly in terms of its habitat values. Access may be unsuitable for persons with limited mobility; wildlife behaviour and fauna sightings are unpredictable. Participants need to accept the risks and uncertainties associated with a genuine wilderness experience.

CCW3 Experience Six Hour PackageDesigned to showcase the broader diversity of natural and cultural heritage values about the prestigious Cooper Creek catchment. A six-hour package, comprising a two-hour guided, interpreted rainforest walk, a one-hour cruise through the world's most diverse mangrove community in search of elusive estuarine crocodiles, lunch in an idyllic setting beside a rainforest stream and swim in the invigorating blue waters of Cooper Creek (weather permitting and at own risk.) This experience combines the richness of the Daintree. Advanced Ecotourism Accredited. CCW4A and B Combination Day and Night Walks PackageA mere one per cent of travellers to the Cape Tribulation Daintree Rainforest successfully negotiate their way through the protective barrier that conceals the old-growth Gondwanan forests of Cooper Creek Wilderness. Guided, interpreted day tours reveal an extraordinary intellectual property, which amplifies the profundity of nature's masterpiece. Similarly, nocturnal tours reveal dimensions of global significance that are invariably hidden during daylight hours. Access to the inner-secrets of a forbidden forest will always be an elusive undertaking, but no greater determination can be made than to consider the combination of both a day tour and a nocturnal foray. It is not that the decision will be merely equivalent to the sum of the two individual activities, which in their own right are excellent for the intended purposes, but one that issues perspective upon the other to significantly broaden the horizons of an exceptionally complex ecosystem.
