A two-hour drive from Cairns and you will be embraced with the stunning natural beauty of the breathtaking Daintree Cape Tribulation, an unspoilt paradise located in North Queenland, Australia. Just a stone’s throw from Cape Tribulation is the world famous Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree rainforest, two of the world’s most fascinating hotbeds for nature lovers.
At Cape Tribulation, holidaymakers can find a host of things to do and see. The most ancient rainforest in the world, Daintree rainforest is rich in flora and fauna and has a wide range of wild animals. Prepare your hiking boots and a reliable compass and get ready for the ultimate hiking experience. Campsites are scattered around the forest, providing trekkers with basic amenities.
If a walk in the woods is yet to satisfy your craving for adventures, take a boat cruise along the renowned Daintree River where you can spot crocodiles and all kinds of birds. Cruises are available from the south end of the river. In addition, Cape Tribulation is also home to the impressive Daintree Entomological Museum, featuring a wonderful world of colourful butterflies and beetles.
Beach bums and sun worshippers also regularly flood Cape Tribulation for white, sandy beaches including Cooper Creek and Thornton Beach. Have a picnic at one of many picnic tables provided behind the beach or work on your tan, take a walk along the beach to see Cooper Creek or go for a swim in one of the swimming holes at Cooper Creek.
A thriving playground for snorkellers and scuba-divers, the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef is located just off-shore from Cape Tribulation. Explore the fascinating underwater world of beautiful coral reefs, a variety of fish, sea-ferns and anemones. No trip to Australia is complete without a trip to this Australian hotspot.
Cape Tribulation offers a wide range of accommodations for visitors, be it campsites, motels, bed and breakfasts, luxurious hotels or resorts. You can also find many yoga retreats and spa venues at which to get yourself pampered after a hard play’s day in the sun or the forest.
