Exploring this lush, vibrant forest on a guided tour promises a truly unforgettable experience. Learn about the rainforest’s vast history from expert local guides, discover rare plant species, and seize the chance to spot iconic Aussie wildlife, such as cassowaries and kangaroos.

Reef Trips:

The Great Barrier Reef, another UNESCO World Heritage site just off the coast of Cape Tribulation, is an essential wildlife experience for visitors. Snorkel or dive among colourful coral formations and discover a variety of marine life, including tropical fish, turtles, and even the occasional reef shark. Alternatively, if you’d prefer to stay dry on your tropical adventure, glass-bottom boat tours provide an excellent way to view the reef's beauty without getting wet.

Fishing Tours:

Cape Tribulation's waters are rich in fish, making it a real paradise for anglers. Fishing in the local rivers and creeks offers the opportunity to catch beautiful barramundi and mangrove jack. Those wanting a bigger challenge can also venture out on a deep-sea fishing trip in search of larger species like marlin, mackerel, and tuna. Cape Tribulation’s estuaries and mangroves are also teeming with incredible catches, making fishing here equally as exciting and rewarding.

No trip to Cape Tribulation is complete without immersing yourself in the rich culture of the Indigenous Kuku Yalanji people, the traditional custodians of the land. Cultural tours provide fascinating insights into the Kuku Yalanji's traditions, history, and connection to the land. Enjoy bush tucker walks through the lush rainforest, participate in traditional art and craft workshops, and appreciate the area and its many wonders from a whole new perspective.
