Daintree Discovery Centre, Cow Bay

Daintree Discovery Centre, Cow Bay

The Daintree Discovery Centre is a self-funding eco tourism facility that specialises in providing interpretive information about the Daintree Rainforest and its environs. The Centre is an accredited Wet Tropics Visitor Centre just 10 kms north of the Daintree River ferry. It attracts visitors from all over the world and is highly regarded as a quality eco-tourism experience providing easy-to-understand information about the surrounding rainforest. With a large indoor display area, the latest touch screen technology, audio visual theatre and sweeping, all-weather verandas, the Centre has something to offer everyone. 


Visitors can meander along elevated rainforest boardwalks including the Cassowary Circuit and the Bush Tucker Trail. They can take a self-guided tour using an audio guide, or a pre-booked group tour with an experienced naturalist. The spectacular Aerial Walkway and the 23m (76ft) Canopy Tower are a 'must see'. The Tower is quite unique as it has 5 viewing platforms that look out over the rainforest canopy and beyond. 


 


Built in 1989, the Centre is a private enterprise. Monies from entry fees are devoted to the ongoing development of the Centre and public support is appreciated.

Far North Queensland's coastal strip of low-land tropical rainforest is a very special place and our aim is to ensure that everyone gets the most out of their visit to the area. And this includes an opportunity to experience the rainforest 'up close and personal' with maximum comfort and safety.
