From Daintree to Cape Tribulation and Bloomfield River, you can
experience the most unique rainforest in the world. No trip to the
tropical north is complete without visiting Cape Tribulation and
this natural wonderland. The sealed road north of the Daintree River
meanders through the lush rainforest covered Alexandra Range, to
spectacular lookout points and glorious tropical beaches. It is the
Daintree Cape Tribulation where the rainforest meets the reef.
Cape Tribulation is a headland and locality in northern Queensland,
Australia 110km north of Cairns. It is located within the Daintree
National Park and the Wet Tropics World Heritage area.
Cape Tribulation locality contains a small number of tourism resorts
and backpacker hostels. A sealed road provides access to the area
from the south via the Daintree River ferry.
The traditional owners of the area are the Kuku Yalanji people. Cape
Tribulation was named by British explorer Captain James Cook on 10
June 1770 after his ship ran aground on a reef near the site,
"because here began all our Troubles".
Around 17,000 hectares between Daintree River and Cape Tribulation
is declared National Park and much of the area is also World
Heritage listed to ensure protection of the rainforests.
Cape Tribulation offers an exciting variety of day trips to the
region are available, as well as many local tour options within the
area. To truly understand this spectacular rainforest, stay and
listen to the night sounds. Hidden in the wilderness is a range of
comfortable accommodation, with imaginative restaurants, retail
stores and available services.
