7 Things to do Adventurous in Cape Tribulation That You Shouldn't Miss

December 24, 2021 Layne Dawes

The dramatic headland and lush, unspoiled rainforest of Cape Tribulation makes for some exquisite surroundings, stretching all the way down to Cape Tribulation Beach and boardwalk. Four resorts and some backpacker hostels cater to the few (and happy!) visitors who make it this far north. Take charters to the nearby Great Barrier Reef, stroll on guided night walks, go kayaking, jungle surfing or swimming—or cruise with the crocodiles.

Daintree National Park

Part of Queensland Wet Tropics World Heritage area.

Reviewed By VTJedi

The Daintree National Park is huge. Technically it spans both parts of the river which you have to cross by ferry in your car. Forget a tour company - do yourself a favor and see it on your own. The roads were easy to drive and on our day trip from Port Douglas we visited Cape Tribulation (beach and lookout for over an hour - at times the only ones on this pristine beach), we hiked one of the boardwalks and was a cassowary and her baby, we visited the famous ice cream place and had amazing tropical ice cream and walked around the property looking at the trees, and we visited the lookout for views. That was a full day. We would have needed more time to see/do more in Daintree. Maybe next time we'll consider spending the night. It's where 2 UNESCO world heritage sites meet and there's plenty to do here but I recommend do it yourself by car. I watched the way the small tours operate and I would have been miserable on their prescribed highlights. One of the tours didn't even let them people but 5 minutes on Cape Tribulation beach - what a pity for them!
