Hotels in Daintree, Australia
The Daintree region in Queensland, Australia, is a lush tropical rainforest where the jungle meets the Great Barrier Reef. The climate is warm and humid year-round, with dry winters (June-August, around 75°F or 24°C) perfect for walking the boardwalks at Mossman Gorge and spotting cassowaries, while the wet summer months (December-February, up to 90°F or 32°C) bring dramatic waterfalls and fewer crowds for a boat cruise along the Daintree River to see crocodiles. You can also explore Cape Tribulation, where the rainforest literally touches the reef, making it one of the few places on Earth to snorkel in the morning and hike through ancient ferns by afternoon.
