As your vehicle leaves the ferry on the northern bank of the Daintree River you know you have arrived at a very special place. This World Heritage-listed region has very strict restrictions on accommodation and other developments. The road winds through thick rainforests and the first commercial centre you arrive at is Cow Bay. This is one of the oldest established centres of commerce in the Daintree, yet it still only boasts the hotel motel and airstrip for light aircraft. If you decide to stay in one of the motel rooms for the night or drop in for a counter lunch, be assured the locals will only be too happy to give you advice on what to see and do in this wonderland of nature.
