Another in our free Articles - this time about the Cape Tribulation (The Cape) and Daintree River region of NE Queensland. This area is just so breathtaking that it really needs an article to itself. Ideal opportunity for a hire campervan to get into the ferntree rainforest paradise of Cape Tribulation, Queensland the World Heritage Listed rainforest with stunning beaches and so much to do and see.

It really is where "The Rainforest meets the Sea"

The Daintree and Cape Tribulation of North Queensland really should be on everyones "To see list" if they are coming to this region. The Daintree is only a one hour drive from Cairns north up the Captain Cook highway and there are other places to visit on the way. This region is easily accessible with a hire campervan or motorhome  or for the more adventurous traveller a 4wd hire trip.

Port Douglas is a short 45 minute drive north from Cairns along a coastal drive that offers continous sweeping views of the azure Coral sea. The town of Port Douglas has come a long way since its early days as a gold mining port and then onto a local sleepy hollow. It now sports a 5 start yacht marina, reef trips to the Great Barrier Reef and a multitude of shops, restaurants and resort hotels.

A short drive further north from Port Douglas and you reach the lovely town of Mossman. This town has a stunning natural gorge where it is safe to swim and the water is crystal clear and cool. Upon departing Mossman it is easy to follow the signs to the Daintree. To actually get to the Daintree River crossing you turn off a few kilometres before the actual Daintree village. The ferry trip across the Daintree River costs (at time of writing) $10.50 per vehicle one way. Once over the river then you are on your way to Cape Tribulation.

The drive to Cape Tribulation is all sealed roads so it is ideal if you are in a campervan hire vehicle. Take it quite slow as the roads get very curvy and are in some places quite narrow.

As you drive on up to the Cape you will come across Tea farms - Yes ! Tea.

There are a variety of eco centres and many other local adventures into the rainforest including crocodile tours. The beaches along this stretch of the NE Queensland coast really are beautiful though beware of crocodiles as they do inhabit this area. Fortunately, for those hot days, there are a number of safe swimming holes (Mason's for one) where the vistor can cool off.

There is a range of accommodation types in this area from basic camping to 5 start luxury resorts so Cape Tribulation is one area that really does cater for all tastes and budgets.

A popular option is to do a 4wd hire camping adventure - with one of our Hummers or Patrols- to Cape Tribulation and then continue north to Cooktown by the Bloomfield track. This is an interesting travel option and one main feature on this drive is the infamous Lions Den Hotel. Details of our Hummer Hire vehicle are available - Home | Vehicles
