Daintree Wild Zoo

At the Daintree Wildlife Zoo rare and endangered species such as the north-east Queensland's Golden-shouldered Parrot and Gouldian Finches are bred alongside our more common species. The Sanctuary is a brilliant day out from Port Douglas or Cairns for families, individuals and groups wanting to see, touch and photograph wildlife set within wetland reserves and purpose built aviaries with first class amenities for your comfort.

STOP at Daintree Mangroves Wildlife Sanctuary for a half day, full day or overnight in the pool side accommodation within the sanctuary. Daintree Mangroves Wildlife Sanctuary  is conveniently located to include a rainforest day trip from Cairns or Port Douglas (click for Location).  The Sanctuary is the only wildlife nature park or zoo in Daintree World Heritage Listed rainforest.

LOOK at the wildlife either as a day visitor or, if staying at the Sanctuary's affordable accommodation, the morning provides a true experience of  'breakfast with the birds', mammals and reptiles. Overnight guests also receive a 50% discount on the Daintree Wild Zoo entry.

LISTEN to the sounds of nature.  The morning chorus as the wildlife awakens or the afternoon cacophony as the diurnal wildlife have a late feed and pave the way for the nocturnal creatures to indulge in the nightlife.

TOUCH the many 'touchable' birds and mammals including any new babies such as cassowary, emu and dingo.  Have your photo taken with "Teddy" our friendly Red Tailed Black Cockatoo and our friendly kangaroos and wallabies or  hand feed "Fruit Loop" our resident Cassowary.  Crocodile 'touching' is strictly for our experienced staff. See our wildlife checklist for a complete inventory of the fauna which inhabits the Sanctuary.

SMELL the scents of varying flowering native and exotic flora abundant throughout the Sanctuary. 

TASTE tropical fruits for breakfast.  See Menu for the selection available for dinner.

A visit to Daintree Wild Zoo is a 'must do' event if you want to experience the wildlife of the Daintree region.
