Tropical rainforest, coral ocean and wild rivers come together at Cape Tribulation, a couple of hours' drive north of Cairns and Port Douglas. This mountainous Wet Tropics World Heritage Area stretches from the Daintree River ferry crossing to the cape and north to Cooktown.
A lush tropical wonderland for nature lovers, Cape Tribulation is tailor made for tropical rainforest walks, relaxing in swimming holes, snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef from pristine beaches, and unwinding at laid-back forest retreats.
Drop into the Bat House to see fruit bats in a natural setting, join a wilderness river cruise through the Daintree National Park, take a guided night or day walk through the forest to meet the wildlife, or saddle up to explore the Cape Trib rainforest on horseback.

The End of the World, and for sure the end of the Road! Definitely make the extra effort, and cross over the Daintree River to step into Cape Tribulation. The ferry is a breeze and you drive around narrow and windy roads and small little towns. This is a good segway to visit Daintree Forest as well as dipping into the ocean. A nice quiet break for a couple days, away from it all. Just one regret - we did not get to see any cassowary! Very elusive bird, so far more a tale than a reality!

Lovely trip with an informative guide. Highlights were the Rainforest Wildlife Sanctuary, Cape Tribulation beach, the walk through the mangroves and the wild snakes and crocodiles on the river trip - all sights not seen at home! Biggest thrill was the wild cassowary in the mangroves apparently only 1500 left wild in the area and we saw one! Continue Reading »
Great!!! Really informative tour guide. Even though the weather was not great we still had fun! We saw crocodiles and snakes on the river cruise. Cape tribulation was beautiful and the lunch was really good too. All the animals in the nature park at Port Douglas were friendly and not scared to approach you at all! Continue Reading »
