GROUP EVENTS & GUIDED TOURS

WE TAILOR TO YOUR NEEDS

The Daintree Discovery Centre has been hosting specialised groups for more than 30 years. This can range from junior school students right through to international scientists. Qualified staff conduct pre-booked group tours (minimum 10 people through the Daintree Discovery Centre. The Centre is renowned for its excellent boardwalk tours and expert tour guides.

PRIVATE GUIDED GROUP TOURS

To ensure the Daintree Discovery Centre experience is top quality, the maximum numbers per guide is 20 people.

The Centre has the capacity to cater for group of 100+ at any given time and still provide an unforgettable rainforest experience.

With the appropriate notice, experienced staff will design a unique program of events to suit your specific needs – and in particular, the needs of specialty groups visiting the Daintree Rainforest.

HOW LONG SHOULD YOU VISIT FOR

Group visits vary according to the needs, interests and time constraints of those involved. While the average commercial tour group tends to spend approximately one hour at the Centre, the time varies enormously. For instance, those who want to focus on the Canopy Tower might spend as little as 30 to 40 minutes, while other special interest groups, international students or visiting research personnel often prefer to spend the whole day exploring various aspects of the rainforest.

RESEARCH STUDY BASE

The Centre has also been involved in a successful exchange program with US College students who use the Discovery Centre as their study base while in the Daintree area.

Such groups often spend a week or more at a time – interacting with visitors to the region, gathering rainforest data and generally tapping into the wealth of expertise available from the staff and management of the Discovery Centre.

CATERING

The Discovery Centre can cater for your group booking. There is a selection of sandwiches, cakes, slices, muffins, tea and coffee, cold drinks available depending on your group’s requirements and personal dietary needs.
