Visit the Wet Tropics

The Wet Tropics of Queensland World Heritage Area is a profound biocultural landscape, renowned for its stunning scenery and incredible biodiversity, which encompasses many unique regions, all with their own distinct communities and attractions. 

This exceptional place offers a vast array of world-class natural and cultural experiences that visitors can explore in many ways—whether you choose to venture out on your own or join a guided tour. Tourism Tropical North Queensland can help you plan your Wet Tropics journey, or you can have a chat with a local expert at an accredited Visitor Information Centre.

With more than 87% of the Wet Tropics of Queensland World Heritage Area protected as national parks, conservation parks, state forests, and forest reserves, be sure to check the latest park alerts from the Department of Environment, Science and Innovation for important information on access, closures, and conditions before you set off.
