In today’s post, I will show you some of the best stops and activities that you should do when travelling to and when staying in the rainforest. From snorkelling at the Great Barrier Reef to amazing viewing points and incredible desolated beaches. I have also provided handy information about Daintree Rainforest.

Cape Tribulation | Half a day snorkelling at the Great Barrier Reef

Cape Tribulation | Half a day snorkelling at the Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef in Northern Queensland is a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1981. Due to pollution and bleaching, the reef is in a bit of trouble. When I, therefore, had the chance of snorkelling at two different locations during a snorkel safari I jumped at the chance. If I had known that there would be a storm and that the ocean was going to be choppy, I might have reconsidered…. But there was no way out. In this post, I will take you along on a trip with Ocean Safari. I will show you the two snorkelling sites, what it is like to take this trip, what you can expect and what happens when massive waves interfere with your trip.

DAINTREE RAINFOREST RIVER CRUISE

DAINTREE RAINFOREST RIVER CRUISE

Do not swim in rivers or the ocean is something you hear often when mentioning that you are traveling to Queensland. This is because they are home to salties aka Salt Water Crocodiles. These enormous and fascinating monsters can be found in most rivers and oceans in Queensland.  It speaks for itself that I avoided these like the plague! I did not want to encounter one in the flesh….But I did want to spot some from the safety of a tour and ended up doing the Daintree River Cruise with the Daintree River Cruise Centre in the hopes of spotting a croc and see the rainforest from a different angle.  To find out if this is worth the troubles, I’ve written this extensive guide to give you some guidance.
