    Traveling While Black

    While in Port Douglas, Queensland, Australia, I visited the Daintree Rainforest. It’s a natural wonder that should be on every traveller’s bucket list. With its lush vegetation, diverse wildlife, and stunning scenery, it’s an experience that will stay with you for a lifetime. Here are some tips for visiting the Daintree Rainforest:

    1. Plan your trip: The Daintree Rainforest is a large area and can take several days to fully explore. Make sure to plan your trip in advance, and allow enough time to take in all of the sights and activities.

    2. Choose your accommodation: There are several options for accommodation in and around the Daintree Rainforest, including camping, glamping, and eco-friendly lodges. Choose the option that best suits your needs and budget. I stayed at the beautiful Oaks Port Douglas Resort and would definitely recommend staying there if you prefer a 4 star hotel experience.

    3. Get active: The Daintree Rainforest offers a variety of activities to keep visitors active, including hiking, bird watching, kayaking, and wildlife watching. Be sure to bring water, sunscreen, insect repellent, and proper footwear. I’d also recommend carrying a handheld electric fan. I visited during Australia’s spring and found it to be quite humid! The temperature hit me like whenever I travel from Toronto and get off the plane in Jamaica.

    4. Learn about the local culture: The Daintree Rainforest is home to the Kuku Yalanji people, and there are several opportunities to learn about their culture and history. You can take a guided tour, or visit a cultural centre to learn more about their customs and traditions. While in the area, I did cross paths with Black Indigenous Australians and they always gave me a friendly nod which made me feel welcome.

    5. Respect the environment: The Daintree Rainforest is a fragile ecosystem and it’s important to respect the environment while visiting. Follow the rules and regulations, and make sure to leave no trace behind.

    The Daintree Rainforest is a truly special place, and a visit here is a must for anyone looking to experience breathtaking scenery, diverse wildlife, and rich culture!
