Cape Tribulation

Stepping straight on to the beach from the rainforest is a very special experience at Cape Tribulation where the dual World Heritage areas of the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics Daintree Rainforest meet.

From the colourful cassowary to the vibrant Ulysses butterfly the Daintree is filled with truly unique and rare wildlife. Journey through the evolutionary timeline strolling rainforest boardwalks, soar through the rainforest canopy on a zipline or go in search of the nocturnal creatures on a guided night walk. The only place in the world where the dual World Heritage areas of the Daintree Rainforest and Great Barrier Reef collide is nothing short of spectacular and a perfect climax to the completion of the Great Barrier Reef Drive.

Parking is available at Cape Tribulation Beach and you can complete the Kulki Boardwalk to Myall Beach, an easy 600m return circuit that includes a viewing platform overlooking the ocean and beach.

Tourism Port Douglas Daintree acknowledges the custodianship of the Daintree Rainforest and Great Barrier Reef by the local Kuku Yalanji and Yirraganydji people whose rich cultures, heritage values, enduring connections and shared efforts protect our natural assets for future generations, and we pay our respect to elders past, present and emerging.
