The Marrdja Botanical Walk is an excellent 800m boardwalk at Noah Creek, which follows the Creek through the rainforest. There are numerous day tours available from Cairns and Port Douglas and Coral Coaches run scheduled services daily. If you are planning to hire a car make sure that you are allowed to take it across the Daintree Ferry to Cape Tribulation. If you are not allowed you can lose your deposit crossing the Ferry as it is considered off road. Cape Tribulation has a good range of accommodation with most properties taking full advantage of the rainforest setting by providing light and airy rooms.
Backpackers are very well catered for.
Over the past five years there has also been an increase in the amount of three and four star resort style accommodation available. Due to the remoteness of Cape Tribulation it is advisable to book your accommodation beforehand from either Cairns or Port Douglas. There are plenty of locations where you can camp in Cape Tribulation generally with good facilities. You must camp in designated areas. There are a number of good restaurants, cafes and roadside takeaway stores.
