Cape Tribulation is home to beautiful beaches and magnificent reefs. It is also the only region where two world heritage sites, the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree rainforest meet. With so many things to do in Cape Tribulation, how can you maximise your stay and enjoy all this enchanting place has to offer?
As the locals often say, you will never run
out of adventures in Cape Trib. Which is true specially with the spectacular
view that it holds for every visitor. That's why lodges, resorts and beach
houses around the area offer different ways to explore the Daintree region.
So if you're headed to the Daintree, and give
these 6 ways to explore the Daintree a try.
1.
On foot
The best way to appreciate the wonders of the
Daintree is to set foot on the rainforest itself. After your check-in, join a
hiking tour that will guide you through the heart of the forest. See the Cassowaries,
white lipped tree frogs, tree kangaroos
and a lot more first hand and in their natural habitat.
Hiking through the various slopes of the
Daintree is also as exciting. Hiking enthusiasts describe the experience as one
of the most exotic and challenging trails in the world. Try the Mount Sorrow
Ridge hike that leads high up into the mountains behind Cape Tribulation and
marvel at the breathtaking view on top.
2. On horseback
If you looking for something at a more
relaxing page, why not see the beach on horseback? Several resorts along the
region offer rides on horses are trained to walk along beaches and into the
forest while you take photos of the enchanting scenery. This is an
unforgettable experience to add to your holiday memories.
3. Adventure on 4-wheel-drive
The road is all yours when you take the 4WD
tour of the Daintree. No roadblock can stop your adventure as these vehicles
ride over puddles, mud and other obstacles. You will be able to reach the
deepest part of the Daintree and marvel at the wonders of the forest on your
4WD adventure.
4.
In the sea
While it is not advisable to swim through
most of Cape Trib's beaches due to jelly fishes and the occasional crocs, you
can still enjoy the breathtaking marine life by driving a couple of kilometres
up the track to the Great Barrier Reef. Dive into an ocean safari and swim with
turtles, giant clams, eagle rays, and many species of colourful fish.
5. Above the canopy
Change the way you see the Daintree by going
through the Jungle Surfing Canopy tours. Ride the zipline and brave the first
human hamster wheel ride across the rich Daintree region. This activity is sure
to get your heart racing as you enjoy the rainforest from a completely new
perspective.
6. Kayaking
For those who just want to relax the whole
afternoon, you can take your time paddling through Cape Trib's pristine waters.
Enjoy the mountain views and magnificent wild life while you float along
unspoilt tropical beaches and fringing reefs. Kayaking at Cape Trib is a great
way to explore the area and unwind.
