Amazingly beautiful

No signal for 30 km, lots of crocs and stingers, and toads
In a nutshell
Head north out of Cairns! It's worth it!
Walking Cape Tribulation Beach.
tropicrd Says: If you enjoy beach walking then take a stroll along Cape Tribulation Beach.It is so pristine and look for the hermit crabs art where they have burrowed down into the sand and created these wonderful designs.The rainforest at the edge makes you feel like an early explorer...
northeast80 Says: On your way up to Cape Tribulation from Port Douglas it's hard to miss the Mossman Gorge it's 56,500ha of the Danitree Nat. Pk. once there we did a lovely walk through the rainforest coming upon waterfalls and pools on our way, be very careful about swimming though, there's...
Day Trip To the Great Barrier Reef
ValbyDK Says: We went on a daytrip to the Great Barrier Reef from Cape Tribulation. The tour was booked from Cape Tribulation Camping, and we were picked up at the campsite around 8.30am by a minibus. First stop was at a small supermarket where it was possible to buy sunscreen, a...
euzkadi Says: A 15 minutes walk in a concrete path takes you to the viewing platform on the north side of the cape, great views of Myall Beach.
DSwede Says: One of the oddities of coming up to the Daintree rain forests and Cape Tribulation is that you can have some exotic, homemade ice cream.The Daintree Ice Cream Company grows all of their own tropical and exotic fruits. They prepare and create some wonderful flavors that you...
Boardwalking in the Rainforest
Freja1981 Says: Walking through the rainforest in Cape Tribulation is a must. The Dubuji boardwalk is a 1,5 km walk through the forest, where you can spot birds, spiders, and other animals, day or night.I went out very early one morning to get there before other tourists...bad idea! The...
Silvertraveller Says: The Great Barrier Reef is only 45mins from Cape Trib and with a maximum of 30 people on the boat you are always going to have a better experience than with 400 people from Port Douglas or Cairns. Mackay reef has no platform, you simply jump off the boat and your swimming...

Locally owned and operated the Dragonfly gives you an opportunity to enjoy a relaxed and romantic atmosphere. With its wooden structure and man made ponds with barra and turtles swimming I highly recommend this place for couples who wish to enjoy the rainforest. Sorry no disco lights or doff doff - just a awesome place to enjoy each others company.
Dress Code: Super casual

northeast80 Says: 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...
Silvertraveller Says: There is only one way to Cape Trib - by road. Tropic Explorer (07)40313460 do trips every day and also take in sights as the Marradja Boardwalk, Daintree River Cruise, Mossman Gorge and Port Douglas. Private Bus companies also do pick ups from Cairns airport to CT,...

Please only leave your footprints in the rainforest,the beaches and tracks.
There are plenty of rubbish bins at car parks and areas.
Or take a small rubbish bag with you.
This is a protected area and we ask you to keep it clean.
Thankyou.

euzkadi Says: During the wet season marine stingers are very common in the beach, so swiming is not a good option.
Silvertraveller Says: Stinger season is between November - June each year. There are 2 crocodiles living at the mouth of Myall Creek and crossing the mouth is neck deep so I dont recommend trying that. The crocs wont chase you along the beach, if in doubt ask a local.
Cape Tribulation,expensive food and supplies.
tropicrd Says: If you are going across the Daintree ferry to Cape Tribulation be aware of the mark up on food and supplies in this area. I wish to add Daintree Village on the southern side of the river. I am aware that cartage costs are added on for the wilderness areas but please be...
Silvertraveller Says: There is no mobile reception in the whole Cape Trib area, Internet is very slow as well. Buy a phone card with a pin number to use while in CT, Let your friends know your going "into the jungle" Enjoy the sound of no mobile phones.
Luggage and bags: A medium sized bag is OK, leave your big bag at Cairns if you are coming up
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: A poncho can be handy although it gets so steamy in summer your better off just wearing your bikini or boardies in the rain. Closed shoes are important to do most activities. A torch is important as there are no street lights and it can be dark walking to the beach at night.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: There is a pharmacy in the village for any personal items required during your stay.

tropicrd Says: The Dubuji Boardwalk at Myall Beach,Daintree wilderness is very interesting and will educate you about the mangroves and the forest.It is an easy walk that takes approx 1 hour.Don't forget to take insect repellant and drinking water,some visitors have been badly bitten...
Silvertraveller Says: Most Travellers are told to do a nightwalk in Cape Trib, but what most people dont know is that Cape Trib has been farmed & logged over the last 100 years, there are quite a large number of domestic dogs in the area too. If you want to see the true daintree you need to do a...
Captain Cook was in a bad mood
DSwede Says: Cape Trib is the site where Captain Cook nearly killed his crew. While sailing up along the coast, he was soon caught between the shores and the encroaching reef. When he decided to make a run for open water, Cook nearly sunk the boat by running in the coral reefs. Due to...

Cape Tribulation is so beautiful. This pic was taken looking north toward Cooktown.It is where the forest meets the reef.This is where Captain Cook came to grief on the reef when sailing on the ship...
Cape Tribulation is a Rainforest - just so you are clear it is a RAIN FOREST that means that it rains, so if you expect a golden beach sun blaring place this is not it. If you get one of those days......
Heading up from Port Douglas is the Daintree National Park and Cape Tribulation. There are some magnificent birds in the area, and if you are lucky (or maybe not so lucky) you may see some crocodiles....
Cape Tribulation is not much more than an isolated beach in the remote corners of the rain forest on north eastern QLD. Coming up from Port Douglas, this will be where the pavement stops and 4WD...

Right at the end of Cape Trib you will find the most amazing view of the bay and the rainforest meeting the ocean. This is one of the only places in the world where the forest reaches right into the...
