Cape Trib Farm is located ‘right in the middle’ of Cape Tribulation itself with our own beach track. As well as our beautiful beaches and pristine virgin rainforest there are a wide range of things you can do including tasting exotic tropical fruits from our farm, ‘surfing’ through the rainforest canopy, snorkelling on the reef, spotting wildlife in Coopers Creek, paddle trekking the coastline, horse riding on the beach, or adventuring north in a 4WD on the famous Bloomfield Track. Listed below are some of the tours you can find in the Cape Tribulation area. Our peak tourism season is between June and September. During this time these tours do fill up very quickly and we encourage you to book early to avoid disappointment.
Things to Do
Jungle Surfing
Exploring the Daintree rainforest canopy from great heights
Explore our ancient rainforest on a ziplining tour between six tree canopy platforms. You are fastened to harnesses and swing between each platform. Jungle Surfing run eight tours daily. Their guides are informative and keen to share their knowledge. The site is set up against the base of Mt Sorrow. If you don’t mind heights, this is a brilliant way to see the rainforest from a completely different angle.

Ocean Safari
Snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef
A spectacular way to explore the Great Barrier Reef! This half day tour visits two different reefs at Mackay and Undine. The rigid inflatable boat takes approximately 25 minutes to get to the reef and only carries 25 passengers. The marine life on Mackay and Undine Reef is spectacular and very much ‘untouched’. We are really proud of this local operation as it has won the 2015 Silver Australian Tourism Award and Gold in the Queensland Tourism Awards for Tour and Transport Operators.

Cape Tribulation Wilderness Cruises
Exploring rainforest rivers and intertidal zones
This is the only tour boat permitted in the Cape Tribulation Section of Daintree National Park. Ernie and Allan are very experienced ‘locals’ who have a wealth of knowledge to share about Cooper Creek’s biodiverse mangrove ecosystem. Cooper Creek is devoid of any development and gives you a realistic picture of prehistoric times … including frequent sightings of crocodiles. The tour boat travels through 9 square kilometres of World Heritage Listed wilderness. This is a great trip to take if you want to see flora and fauna ‘up close’.

Riding the beaches on horseback
Imagine yourself cantering on horseback through rainforest paths and along wide, white beaches? This is the tour for you! Steve and his guides (and trusty steeds) will partner with you to explore rainforest paths and Myall Beach.

Four wheel driving north on the famous Bloomfield track
Fancy rivers crossings, unsealed roads, rugged mountain crossings and weaving your way in a 4WD from Cape Tribulation north to Bloomfield and Cooktown? Most people don’t have the luxury of hiring a 4WD for their holidays and the dirt track north to Bloomfield becomes a ‘perhaps one day’ wish. Mike and Trish Darcy offer the opportunity to travel the unsealed track in their 4WD vehicle. Mike is a photographer and stops along the way to show you some amazing views. He is also a very experienced guide with a wealth of knowledge about the local area. Mike has partnered with the indigenous people from the Bloomfield area and together they introduce you to ancient traditions, people and places.
