[…] Cape Tribulation is a remote point in the northeastern part of Queensland Australia, a unique spot where the beach meets the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Traveling deep into the rainforest, you come upon Cape Tribulation at the end of the paved roads. Being so remote, only 330 people are known to reside here. It is the coastal area of Daintree National Park. […]

In reply to Jim Jones. Jim, We went with Foaming Fury. They put this combination excursion package together; it is one of their standard 1-day trips. They do a great job, and pick up in Cairns and Port Douglas. If you want the combined experience, I recommend them. Their driver knows a lot about the Aborigines too.

Waterfalls, lush tropical jungles, abundant wildlife – AND homemade ice cream??? Where do I sign up? ;-D Looks like a beautiful place to visit and explore. I love the fact that they integrate indigenous culture as part of the experience…I’d love to learn more about the Aboriginal way of life. Excellent photos, by the way!

In reply to Tami Wilcox. It wasn't scary; just keep all body parts in the boat. Abide by warning signs and there is no risk.

So nice when you can find a company that puts on a great tour for you! Daintree National Park, with all of its waterfalls, beaches, exotic wildlife, and river cruise, sounds amazing! You’ve got to watch out for those crocodiles, though — that scounds pretty scary!

We always love visiting National Parks—I’ve never heard of Daintree National Park, but it looks really gorgeous! I’d love to visit sometime. That’s really cool that it has both rainforest and coral reefs to explore, and the jungle swing sounds like fun! Love the shot of the walking stick on your guide’s hat, too, lol!

Yikes about the crocs. Cape Tribulation, however, sounds absolutely riveting. If I ever need to disappear I’ll know where to go. I stayed at the Daintree Eco Lodge years ago and I’ll never forget the stunning forest. But I want to see a forest dragon!

I love how out of the way Daintree and Cape Tribulation are. A real chance to disconnect and enjoy all the beautiful scenery. Lots to do and explore including the welcome “smoke cleansing.” A really fascinating read.
