A. The Daintree Rainforest is located in a part of Queensland called the “Wet Tropics.” It receives vast amounts of rain, however this usually occurs in torrential downpours that last only a few hours at a time. When it’s not raining, usually the sun is out in full force highlighting the vibrant colours of the rainforest and the sea.
The rainforest has about 120 days of rain per year, with an average of 2013 mm falling per year
Daintree Wonder Tours is well equipped to deal with tropical rainfall and the van is always stocked with umbrellas and ponchos.

The only time we will cancel a tour of Daintree is due to a cyclone warning or extreme flooding in which case you will be informed of this as soon as possible and receive a full refund.
