Rainforest Habitat Port Douglas

The purpose of the Rainforest Habitat Wildlife Sanctuary is;

"To enable visitors to appreciate and understand with a little more detail the intricate interdependence of rainforest fauna and flora by experiencing up close, some of its inhabitants and through this appreciation, aid its conservation."

Though observation… Appreciation.Through appreciation… Conservation.
The Rainforest Habitat is a wildlife park of the future and world leader in mixed immersion exhibits. It is situated on eight acres of land that has been recreated to provide a window into our natural environment.

Visitors can wander through four different and unique environments that depict over 180 species of the surrounding rainforest, wetlands, woodlands and grasslands.
Regular guided tours are an essential part of the park's focus on biological conservation, as are guest's interaction with wildlife within the sanctuary.

Constructed in 1988 on previously low yield agricultural land, the Rainforest Habitat Wildlife Sanctuary covers over two hectares. With two of the four environments covered by specially designed cyclone proof shade cloth and two open-air exhibits, guests become an insignificant observer amidst the intricate performance of wildlife. Boardwalks intertwine through the canopy and rainforest floor of these environments, providing an exhilarating and educating journey for all.

Today the Rainforest Habitat is Australia's leading environmental wildlife park, and boasting over 1600 animals, contains the largest collection in immersion exhibits. Informative guided tours, experiential displays and immersion exhibits provide an experience found nowhere else.
All these factors have allowed the Rainforest Habitat to gain Advanced Ecotourism Accreditation and become a winner of many major Tourism Awards in both Tropical North Queensland and Queensland.
