Interpretive Guided Rainforest Walk:

Daintree Eco Lodge & Spa's site is important in the local culture. The property was occupied by forefathers of the Kuku Yalanji people and used as a resting place as it provided spring water, an abundance of edible and medicinal plants, fauna, bathing holes, protection from harsh weather conditions and is adjacent to the majestic Daintree River.

Daintree Eco Lodge & Spa's Aboriginal guides couple this cultural information with botanical and wildlife information on an Indigenous Guided Rainforest Walk to special places with healing powers significant to women, highlighting bush medicines and foods, traditional life and history. Our guides also share their personal stories with you.

Daintree Wellness Spa:

Daintree wellness spa is a unique body, mind and soul experience, harnessing the potent natural forces to create a healing environment unlike any other. With the approval of the Kuku Yalanji elders, the spa treatments integrate the wisdom of ancient cultures, medicines, spirituality and healing.

Included in your stay is 2 x 1 hour massages. Revitalize with a massage tailored to your specific needs. Qualified therapists use a combination of Eastern and Western techniques. Let your body de-stress, release muscle tension and rebalance.
