The road is completely sealed from Cairns to Cape Tribulation with one short gravel section north of the Daintree river. The Daintree River ferry operates daily from 6 am to midnight. Vehicles should be in good operating condition as the nearest location for most repair work is in Mossman, one hour's drive south. Day and night walks are offered as well as 4WD tours. The area is adjacent to some of the finest coral reefs of the Great Barrier Reef, and small diving and snorkeling tour boats leave Cape Tribulation daily.
Some local resorts have dining rooms and bars open to the public.
Greater choices for recreation and touring are available in Port Douglas and Cairns. You should consult with the Station before making final plans because many activities can be done here at far less expense than in town. We also book tours and receive concessions on local activities. Edited by Mel McKay. Updated by Johan Siverklev.
