Old Tour Overview below (currently not available)
This tour company offers great tours to Cape Tribulation through the Bloomfield Track, one of the most scenic short 4WD drives in Queensland.
The Bloomfield track attracts a lot of tourists every year because of its beautiful rainforest, natural swimming holes, creeks and beaches. The Bloomfield track was constructed in 1983- 1984 and led to one of Australia's most important environmental protests. Today the area has World Heritage protection.
This Cape Tribulation Tour is a personalised taking a group of maximum of 16 passengers in a custom built 4WD. Travellers spend the day in the company of a guide who talks about the flora, fauna, and history of the area, including aboriginal culture. The tour is quite educational, making the whole rainforest experience even more special.
This Cape Tribulation tour is the only one that travels to the pristine Emmagen Creek. Emmagen Creek is located 7 km north of Cape Tribulation and it is a beautiful location with many swimming holes. This is where all participants get in the water for a swim.
Other places visited include the Daintree river ferry, Alexandra Lookout, Lync Haven animal refugee, Cape Tribulation Beach and the Daintree Ice Cream Factory (if time permits).
This is a "must do" for adventurous people or any nature loving person.
