The Daintree is estimated at around 180 million years old, making it the oldest continuously surviving tropical rainforest, and it runs down to the sea at Cape Tribulation where it meets the reef. Boardwalks, a river cable ferry and crocodile-spotting cruises structure most visits. Swimming in the rivers is not safe because of estuarine crocodiles.
