Cape Tribulation, Far North Queensland

What to do in Cape Tribulation, Far North Queensland

The Daintree Coast / Cape Tribulation

Where the rain forest meets the reef. To merely say this place is beautiful is an understatement, an injustice to the Cape Tribulation and all its friends and relatives. I will try to think of a better word next time I go.

There is a special tranquillity about the Daintree that pictures and words cannot describe. You have to spend some in the Daintree to really appreciate it magical appeal.

Thanks to concerned locals Cape Tribulation ('Cape Trib') and the Daintree is not on the power grid so you have to BYO (just kidding).

This mean most residents have their own power generator (Jenny) often running off of alternative forms of energy such as solar power.

This all adds to the sense of community.

Many of the locals who are against large-scale development. Once you have visited – you will be too.

Best of both worlds on the Daintree Coast. A two day tour that takes in the best of the region!
