Unless you hire a car, the best way to get to Cape Trib is to join a tour. I compared different tours and found that "Cape Trib Connections" was the cheapest.
You can choose to get on the coach in either Cairns or Port Douglas. For me, I arrived in Cairns Airport on Day 1, took the free shuttle of Dougie Backpackers in Port Douglas to Port Douglas, stayed a night there and then got on the coach of Cape Trib Connections on Day 2; stayed 3 days there and arrived in Cairns on the way back. This saved my transportation between Cairns and Port Douglas!!!
I chose to stay in PK's Jungle. The room was dark and not so clean, the bunk bed I slept in nearly collapsed, the kitchen was not clean and with very limited cooking utensils. Luckily the showers and the toilets were still fine. OK, it's the RAINFOREST. Don't expect so much. Leave a Comment Theme: BusWebsite: http://www.cairnsinfo.com/tour/Rainforest/216/

This is the only way to cross the river to get up to Cape Tribulation and don't they know it! It cost when we were there (July 2005) was AU$20 return. It only takes 5 minutes and can carry up to 16 cars across.
It is quite exciting though, knowing about the crocodile infested waters below and that you're really heading into the rainforest proper. Leave a Comment Theme: Ship/BoatWebsite: http://www.daintreerainforest.com/river.html
