    This 6-day adventure will take you through Daintree - Cape Tribulation; the very heart of Tropical North Queensland. The Daintree Cape Tribulation coast is where the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree rainforest meet, the only place on earth where two World Heritage areas exist side by side. Other highlights include the Bloomfield Track, historic Cooktown and the villages on the Atherton Tablelands.

    Important Note: The Bloomfield Track links Cape Tribulation and The Bloomfield River and is a true 4WD track. The track can be impassable during heavy rain periods - particularly in summer months (December to March).
