The river rises on the slopes of the Great Dividing Range within the Daintree National Park below Kalkajaka at an elevation of 1,270 metres (4,170 ft) AHD . The river flows in highly meandering course generally north, then east, then south and then east, through the rainforest where the water is fresh. At this convergence point, an abundance of wildlife congregate, particularly fish. The river is joined by two minor tributaries before flowing through the Cairns Marine Park through thick mangrove swamps where the water is highly saline; and then empties into the Coral Sea, north of Wonga Beach.

Daintree Region - Daintree Ice-cream Company

Established in 1993, the Daintree Ice Cream Company became a highlight for visitors to the region. This was thanks to the creative vision and pioneering spirit shown by original owner Tracey Brady.

Surrounded by jungle, with no mains power, no town water and barely even a road, the undertaking was not for the faint-hearted.

Despite the obstacles, Tracey grew this humble little business into an iconic must-see destination in the Daintree Rainforest.
