🌙 Discover the Daintree After Dark

When the sun sets, the world’s oldest rainforest truly comes to life, revealing a prehistoric world hidden by day. Join the Daintree Crocodylus Night Walk for an immersive, guided journey into the nocturnal heart of the Daintree Rainforest.

We are a fully inclusive basecamp—families and kids of all ages are welcome to join the expedition. We believe the best way to inspire the next generation of conservationists is to get them under the canopy to see the magic for themselves. With expert guides leading the way, explorers young and old can safely witness the "glowing, gliding, and growing" wonders of the jungle.

🔦 When: Nightly from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

🦎 The Experience: Spot rare wildlife like Boyd’s Forest Dragons, snakes, and frogs.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Inclusive: Suitable for children (5+) and anyone with a curious spirit.

Nightwalk discovery: spotting local wildlife on the jungle floor at Daintree Crocodylus basecamp.

🌿 What To Expect

This is a journey of discovery where you’ll learn fascinating rainforest facts from our expert guides. Nature is unpredictable—the wildlife decide if they are going to come out and play, and we simply enjoy seeing whoever lets us see them!  That said we often spot Boyd’s Forest Dragons, Spectacles Flying Foxes, sleeping birds, nocturnal wanderers like Thornton Peak Melomy's and White Tailed rats, Bandicoots, and of course a myriad of incredible spiders and insects. Plus, on a clear night, you'll witness spectacular stars through the rainforest canopy.
