Cape Tribulation

• Summary
• Weather for Cape Tribulation

Cape Tribulation is an area of breath-taking World Heritage-listed rainforest and coastline north of the Daintree in tropical Far North Queensland. This is the part of Australia's coastline where the rainforest truly meets sea. With dense tropical rainforest at your back and the spectacular Great Barrier reef spread out before you, Cape Tribulation, is the untouched paradise travelers dream of.

"Cape Trib" as the area is commonly referred to by locals, owes it untouched natural beauty to its remote location - sealed roads end and 4-wheel drive vehicles are recommended. Due to this, the area remains inaccessible to many conventional vehicles through the wettest parts of the year.

Boasting some of the most pristine beaches, rivers and mountains in the whole of Australia, there is no shortage of outdoor activities to entice the adventurous traveler. Spend your days on rainforest walks, reef trips or exploring virtually deserted pristine beaches, or take advantage of being in close proximity to the Daintree as this area offers many other exciting activities.

To get to Cape Tribulation, the coastal road heads north from Cairns and takes you through the townships of Port Douglas, Mossman and Daintree, where you must cross the Daintree River on tropical Australia's only cable ferry. The road then takes you through lowland and tropical rainforest, runs over high capes and alongside attractive beaches, passing through access to Cape Kimberley and Cow Bay.
