Tour Details:
Your tour commences at your accommodation in Cairns where our
enthusiastic Rainforest Guide collects you.
Cape Trib Connections departs Cairns by 8.00am heading north through the
sugar cane fields and northern suburbs of Cairns in a comfortable
air-conditioned bus. Pickups in Port Douglas are at 8.45am.On our way to
Port Douglas we travel along the Captain Cook Hwy.
This is truly one of most scenic coastal drives in Australia and
compares favourably with the Great Ocean Rd in Victoria. We drive
through the lush green fields of the Mossman sugar cane area looking at
the spectacular rainforest clad coastal mountain ranges along the way.
We cross the mighty Daintree River on a cable ferry and enter the Cape
Tribulation section of the Daintree National Park. Here things begin to
change for the better. We find the road narrows and the rainforest
towers over us as we enjoy the ever-increasing beauty of this ancient
Gondwana Rainforest.
This place is truly a window into the past with plants such as the King
Ferns which have it’s historical roots set firmly in the Carboniferous
age some 360 million years ago. We climb the Alexandra Range entering
World Heritage Rainforest as we traverse the peak. There are superb
views to be experienced from the Alexandra Range lookout.
You can expect to see over a hundred kilometres on a clear day while
viewing the mouth of the Daintree River and out towards Snapper Island.
This enjoyable drive is both fascinating and interesting as we pass
through the rainforest community at Cow Bay before crossing several
creeks on our way to the Cape. We will drop you at your accom of choice
at approx 12.00pm where you can laze by the pool or on a sandy palm
fringed beach. After days of fun, sun, action or relaxation your coach
departs the “Cape” at approx 1.00pm.We head back to Cairns enjoying
activities along the way.
