Daintree Ice Cream Company

Absolutely loved our visit to Daintree Ice Cream! We started with the coconut lemon myrtle and the chai chocolate chip, and they were so good we couldn’t resist going back for another flavor this time the coffee + cardamom, which was incredible as well. My personal favorite was the coconut lemon myrtle..so tropical while my husband loved the chai chocolate chip. The setting is just as impressive as the ice cream. Their lush garden is filled with banana trees, chocolate, coffee, pineapple, and other exotic tropical plants, making the whole experience feel immersive and special. The price was spot on too great value for such high-quality, unique flavors. A must-try spot in the area..delicious ice cream, beautiful surroundings, and a unique taste of the tropics. Highly recommended!

We had a good experience here visiting after our walk to the Daintree centre. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, it wasn’t overly busy at our time so that helped. They alternate flavours during the season, they pre package the ice cream in serves form $7.50 which isn’t bad, on par for a touristy spot. The ice cream was very smooth and interesting some of the flavours! The wattleseed flavour was delicious, like hazelnut! The grounds and area around the service area is really nice to walk around also.

We stopped on our way from Cape Trib to Port Douglas. I wish I lived closer! There is lots of free parking. Plenty of seating on a beautiful farm to sit and enjoy the ice cream. 1 flavour cup was $7 approximately, while the sampler, which had 4 flacours was $9.50. We tried the sampler which had 4 unique flavors- all unique and delicious. Another in our party tried the single cup. They also had the more traditional flavors. Staff were very nice. Overall, a great stop!

We stopped by Daintree Ice Cream and absolutely loved it! We tried the choc chip chai, yellow sapote, soursop, and black sapote ice creams — they were all delicious, and it was a real struggle to pick a favourite. The staff were super friendly and gave great, informative customer service, explaining all the unique flavours. Such a fun and tasty experience in a beautiful setting. Definitely worth a visit!

If you have to choose between here and Floravilla, this is the place to go. They have a nice variety of flavors, many exotic fruit ones too. Texture and consistency is perfect. All ice cream is pre scooped into cups, 1 size only. Outdoor seating only. Clean bathrooms available. Great ice cream spot

Tasty, not overpowering icecreams that have the fruit inside. 4 small scoops for €9.50 (all pre-scooped and no tasting others unless paying €7.50)

This is well worth a stop. I had the ice cream dish with four different scoops. It had Wattleseed ( tastes nutty like a hazelnut), Mango, Black Sapote ( tastes like vanilla & chocolate) all over a bed of Coconut ice cream. All were absolutely delicious with the serving sizes totally manageable. The Iced Latte was also great. The shop is surrounded by fruit and shade trees making it a very pleasant road side stop. Highly recommended.

Came back here 7 years later and it hasn't changed a bit. The ice cream is still phenomenal and the grounds are beautiful. We even spotted a Cassowary across the road!

great quality ice cream. you get to choose four flavors. i enjoyed the wattleseed which is a native fruit and tastes similar to hazelnut. it is also located in a beautiful spot with a view of the orchard allowing for a lovely ambiance

Any ice cream joint in the middle of a Rain Forest when it's 97 Fahrenheit outside will always get my vote. Thing is, the place also looks pretty. You get almost all the flavors they have in one order cause that's how the serve it(see pic). This have an earthy taste . They are coconut, black sapote it's like chocolate flavored fruit, Wattleseed is like water down hazelnut,and passion fruit. The stand out is coconut- the others were fine. They also have a fruit garden in the back.

I loved the concept of this place, with all the exotic fruit trees they use to make the ice cream growing right out front, but I was very disappointed in their lack of non-dairy options. This place isn't a creamery, really -- it's more of a place that makes sorbets. Sorbets and fruit gelatos are dairy-free by default, and given this place is drawing people in based on its exotic fruits, I'm really surprised that everything they offer has dairy in it. The only non-dairy choice they had was a pre-packaged mango sorbet, not one of their homemade ones. Not happy Jan. They really should work on creating more non-dairy sorbets with all their exotic fruit trees. That way, they could cater to vegans and lactose-intolerants (60% of the earth's population is lactose-intolerant, after all) and no one would even know because sorbets naturally do not have dairy in them anyway. And their more "ice cream" (non-sorbet) -style ones could easily use coconut milk instead of dairy milk. Would fit in more with the tropical vibe here anyway. I came here with my parents and was stuck with my pre-packaged mango sorbet (nice but uninspiring.) My parents tried the cup of 4 scoops. My mom enjoyed the wattleseed and plum. My dad said he would've preferred plain chocolate. It was great to walk around the place and look at all the interesting trees. They gave us a little booklet that told us what the different plants were, and there were plenty I'd never heard of (abiu, marang, rollinia). All looked delicious and I wish they sold a raw fruit sampler of some kind!

First off, it's not quite ice cream...it's more of gelato and sorbet had a secret tryst. Now, that's cleared up this place was a pleasant stop for many reasons. 1) the story behind the local flavors was a good tidbit 2) everything was basically a local flavor 3) it forces some to step out of their confront zone and enjoy the local flavors of the Daintree/port douglas/ rainforest area Today's flavors were *Jack fruit- the flavor of juicy fruit gum (btw) *Mango *Soursop-aka Guyabano for all the Asians *Wattleseed- a mocha/hazelnut favor but the wattle seed fruit/flower is green and gold aka the Australian team colors () They also encourage you to all around the orchard and see the locally sourced fruit used for the days flavors. It's was a great way to end the rainforest adventure. Make it the last stop before heading back to Port Douglas, to end the excursion with a sweet taste in your mouth. But don't take my word for it! Try it Out!!

Big thumbs down for the flavor assortment here. Our tour took us here, and the guide hyped up the exotic flavors you can try here... which they better be, at a pricetag of $7.50 for a small cup. When we arrived, the flavors on offer included some very interesting ones like yellow sapote (egg fruit) and Davidson's plum (a special fruit of the Australian rainforest) While standing in the long line, they erased those flavors and replaced them with quite a bit more boring ones... I believe it was chocolate (or was it coconut?), vanilla, passionfruit, and jackfruit. (While I do like passionfruit... it is not so hard to find, unlike the other ones that we had no chance of trying. Everything else on this menu can be found at any of the gelato shops around here... for a lot less money. That leaves only jackfruit as an interesting -- but not very enticing -- flavor to try.) Not worth wasting time in the oldest rainforest in the world just to spend way too much $$ on quite ordinary flavors.

Good ice cream. They have something like 4 or 5 flavors available at any one time, and you can get a sampler plate containing all the flavors. My favorite was the wattleseed. It tasted a little like coffee. Of the two ice cream places in the area, I thought this one was the better one, mainly because the flavors are stronger and more unique and the consistency of the ice cream is smoother.

I would give a million stars to this place if I could, definitely top ice cream experience of all time. $6.50 for a cup of 4 scoops, all tropical fruit flavors, whatever she decides. Cash only. Not bad really compared to the $8 for two scoop Gelato back in the city. We drove in at 6pm, right when we saw the staff put up the ""Closed" sign. I guess I looked sad enough that she didn't mind serve us 3x of the yummiest soursop / passion fruit / plum and wattle weed (the only meh one) combo. It so good. It tastes legit with the amazing fruit flavors (supposedly 60/40 ratio) but not excessively sweet or creamy. She mixes in some of the seeds too to give them all their own unique tastes and textures. Boy sure how to explain how real the fruit tastes are except that you must try for yourself. The best part was being able to tour the gardens and see (and touch and poke at) exactly what you just ate, and some other stuff. Them humongo jackfruit though. She didn't mind giving us a quick explanation and tour even though she closed up shop. Definitely a fun trip for my tastebuds! Must do for summer days after a humid walk in the rainforest.

Their ice cream is sooooo good. They grow all their fruit there and make the ice cream in house. They give you this amazing four (small ish) scoop tasting of the four flavors of the day which is definitely what you should order instead of just one. The day I went they had wattleseed (my favorite of the four), Davidson plum (tart and yummy), mango (nice sorbet), and coconut (sweet and creamy). I devoured it so fast. So good!

Great stop on the way to Daintree! The staff was very friendly and helpful with asking for directions. The store makes their ice cream in different flavors from their fruit farm (which is open to customers to wander). My only complaint was that there's only one option to purchase: a sample of the four daily flavors. My boyfriend and I loved the macadamia nut flavor!

Really enjoyed the unique fruits/flavors, including coconut, mango, among others I can't remember. Don't know why a prior reviewer is complaining of the lack of non-dairy ice creams.... you are in the middle of the rainforest. Be thankful for the delicious flavors available. If not tolerable to your diet, move on.

Overpriced and a complete tourist trap but it was damn good and recommend going. They have tons of unique tropical flavors to choose from, many of which I never heard of or seen in my life. All of the ice cream is fresh and comes from fruits in their orchid so is seasonal. Each day they offer customers a cup with 4 different flavors of ice cream. Unfortunately you don't get a choice of what you want to eat but rather a tasting of all 4 they have that day. Have your $6 bucks ready because the lines get long when tour buses stop and they operate quite quickly - one might call them unfriendly. I remember we had wattle seed, banana, black sapote, and one other - everything was incredible. Unique experience and refreshing stop on your drive out of the daintree. Have a quick look around the property, very beautiful.

As the prior reviewer mentioned, definitely an overpriced tourist trap. Unfortunately we didn't think the ice cream was so good. We had the raspberry, macadamia, wattleseed, and passion fruit flavors (no choice). They were all fairly icy and lacking in the creamy richness or strong flavors we were hoping for.

You get 4 flavors for $6, that's it, no choosing or picking only 1or 2. Actually a smart idea since it forces you to try new flavors. Wattleseed was the best, tasted like coffee, also very much liked the jackfruit, very creamy. All freshly made, no preservatives. Pretty grounds.

We have been calling in for years and the ice cream has always been good with interesting flavours as the other reviewers stated no choices but that's the beauty of being in a relatively remote location but tasting what is in season or available. The prices are fair for the natural flavours from the orchard onsite.

Loved visiting this place. I love the unique/local flavours and that you can walk around the orchard. I love that they take advantage of what's in season. There's a reason all the locals recommend this place. The only thing I might have liked better is that the ice cream was not freshly scooped, it was pre-scooped. It was still good, but could have been that tiny bit better.
