We Visited Cape Tribulation on a tour with Jungle Tours. There was a few stops on the way on this tour. But Cape Trib itself was in the middle of a Rain Forest with little more than a Pub, Supermarket, Couple of Hostels, and a Pharmacy.
The first point of call on our 2 day 1 night trip was at to visit the 'Rainforest Habitat Wildlife Sanctuary' Where there was the usual suspects amoungest the animals, birds, lizards, crocs, koalas. This was where i was able to hold the Baby Croc, and beth hold her beloved Koala. She didn't want to give him back, she said it was amazing.
Next stop was the MossMan Gorge, here we had a short walk through the paths to the gorge which is another river with plenty of boulders and currents. But it was such a refreshing swim as the water was about 17 Degree's C, Air Temp around 30. So there was a little shiver when you stopped swimming. Also seen our 1st proper wild snake, the bright yellow bellied one. It wasn't poisonous enough for us though :(
Then it was onto the Daintree River Cruise, where we were spotting Crocs, and i believe we saw 4, and one even swam beside us, it was crazy to think these guys were prehistoric killing machines, and we were within about 5 ft of them in a boat. It was lovely to cruise down the river with its Mangroves either side.
Short stop at Alexandra lookout to see the views on the Daintree river and the coral sea, which was where good old Captain Cook Ran aground on some coral, and the island to the left of where we were looking was the spot where Steve Irwin got speared.
There were some lovely beachs in Cape Trib and nature walks through all the Jungle. We didn't have time to do this as we were shattered from a mad bender with the Jungle Tour folks. We tried to do some Jungle Surfing or Flying Fox, which is zip-lining in the canopy of the rainforest, but this defeated me and beth and we had to bale on the 1st platform :( The high was far to high for our frail asses :( So we retreated for a nap until our bus back to Cairns.
