It's great news after a three-month wait: Cape Tribulation is once again accessible to travelers in Far North Queensland. This unique region provides easy access to two beautiful World Heritage-listed sites: the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest.
Accommodation providers have reopened, and many experiences are operating again like Treetops Cape Tribulation (since the 29th of March), offering a two-hour guided ziplining tour 50 feet above the ground through the rainforest, with some amazing views on the Coral Sea.
Starting 35 kilometers north of the Daintree River Ferry, Cape Tribulation is a place to have epic off-road adventures, hike or mountain bike ride through rainforest tracks, or dip in the chilled rainforest swimming holes. Ancient stories whisper here through the leaves of this ancient region and forest, just as they have for thousands of years. It’s time to exhale as you emerge from the rainforest to isolated beaches, with the fringing Great Barrier Reef only a toe-dip away.
The Cape Tribulation valley resembles a giant amphitheater, with a semicircle of hills dominated by Mt. Sorrow (850m) and Mt. Hemmant (1000m). The southeastern rain, trapped by this valley, results in a tropical climate ideal for a rich vegetation and to grow rare tropical fruit you can taste at Cape Trib Farm.
North of Cape Tribulation, the Bloomfield Track continues to Cooktown and is suitable for 4WD only.
