People from all parts of the world come to the Daintree to see its exceptional natural beauty, to experience the magic of the world’s oldest rainforest and to find out why it is an important world heritage site.

The majority go the popular, mass tourism way; a day tour from Cairns including a quick run around a public boardwalk, lunch at a resort, a river cruise to break the monotony of the seven hours of travel plus morning and afternoon tea along the way.

There is a growing number of tourists whose holidays begin with research on the web, or with recommendations from other travellers, who decide that they want to get into the real forest, the old growth rainforest with the natural and sometimes muddy trails, because they reject the ‘quick-fix’ that fills the accommodation places in the closest towns.

Cooper Creek Wilderness has created a weblog so that the 1% that make it into our beautiful fan palm forests can share this experience with those who are planning their holiday.

We would like to know whether you enjoyed your tour with Cooper Creek Wilderness. What memories have you taken away with you and even how you were impacted on by the immense age, the biodiversity and the complex inter-relationships within this rainforest?

How important is eco-tourism or responsible travel to your appreciation of nature?

Cooper Creek Wilderness welcomes your contribution to our blog. We hope that you will make many more visits to our piece of paradise in the Daintree and to our web site.
