Cape Tribulation & Daintree Day Tour
Cape Tribulation has a lot to offer, from eating exotic tropical fruits and refreshing in a swimming hole to soaring through the rainforest and witnessing breath-taking views of the mighty ocean, it is a place to visit at least once in your life time.
This is a 11 hour tour with 5 – 7 locations, we change the locations based on the weather, the group, where we think will be less busy and also rely on our guides to make informed decisions based on the best interests of locations/group. This tour will be operating 2 days a week from Nov til Mar, and 3 days a week from April til October in a 20 seater bus. We have it set up this way as we don’t want to impact the current operators, or affect the sites we want to visit too much, but we would like to offer our guests another fantastic day out.
