Cape Tribulation by campervan
Queensland · Daintree Rainforest where the forest meets the Great Barrier Reef
About Cape Tribulation
Cape Tribulation is in the Daintree Rainforest, one of the world's oldest rainforests, where the forest runs down to the beach and the Great Barrier Reef sits just offshore. It is a highlight of any Far North Queensland road trip. Pick up a campervan in Cairns and you can reach the Daintree in a couple of hours.
Highlights

Tips for your trip
- Do not swim in the sea from about November to April because of marine stingers and crocodiles. Follow local signage.
- Stay on the sealed road. The Bloomfield Track beyond Cape Tribulation is 4WD only and not covered by most campervan hire agreements.
- Fuel and supplies are limited, so stock up in Mossman or Cairns.
