Cooper Creek Wilderness Daintree Rainforest Tours

The Daintree Rainforest in Australia’s Wet Tropics is thought to be the world’s oldest rainforest. Its Gondwana origins prove 135 million years of continuous growth.

This evidence can be seen at Cooper Creek Wilderness, which is situated directly below the epicentre, Thornton Peak. Guided interpreted rainforest walks and packages show case the extraordinary grandeur and beauty, the exceptional biodiversity and the extremely ancient stock of plants and animals.

Walks are on natural walking trails, traversing outstanding old-growth forest that cannot be seen elsewhere. Guides are inhabitants who love sharing their expertise and enthusiasm.

Tours range from two-hour guided day or night tours, to the Cooper Creek Wilderness Experience that includes the walk, a one hour mangrove cruise in search of elusive crocodiles and a delicious lunch beside the Cooper Creek or by combining this tour with an evening meal at a local restaurant and a nocturnal walk. Visit their website for more information.

CCW1 Two Hour Guided Interpreted Day Tour Cooper 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. Advanced Ecotourism Accredited. CCW2 Two Hour Guided Interpreted Night Tours The 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 car park. 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. Advanced Ecotourism Accredited. CCW3 Experience Six Hour Package Designed 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 Package A 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. Each walk issues perspective upon the other to significantly broaden the horizons of an exceptionally complex ecosystem. Advanced Ecotourism Accredited.
