Tropical North Queensland, with Cairns as the most well known gateway, is where the rainforest meets the reef. The Daintree Rainforest is home to many unique forms of plant and animal life. This World Heritage area in Tropical North Queensland is located north of Cairns and Port Douglas, stretching 95kms along the coast fringing the pristine, white beaches.
Daintree and Cape Tribulation
From Daintree Village across the river, the Daintree encompasses Cape Kimberley, Cow Bay, Thornton’s Peak, Cooper Creek, Thornton Beach, Noah Valley, Cape Tribulation and the Bloomfield Track to the north. From Cape Tribulation, you can explore the Great Barrier Reef in just half a day and snorkel amongst the kaleidoscopic marine life with Ocean Safari.
The Ocean Safari Tour
The Great Barrier Reef tour begins at Cape Tribulation beach where you board the vessel bound for the tropical waters. The Ocean Safari vessel takes a maximum of 25 passengers allowing guests to experience tropical paradise and the pleasure of a small group. The vessel is based on the original design of a rescue craft and is a rigid inflatable boat driven by 700hp engines.
