The North Queensland tours depart from Cairns, Northern Beaches and Port Douglas. The Cooktown tours offer diverse scenery as you travel on one of Australia's most scenic coastal drives from Cairns and Port Douglas along the Daintree-Cape Tribulation coast where the Great Barrier Reef meets the Rainforest, the only place on the planet where two World Heritage areas exist side by side.
