The high temperatures, the high humidity and the high rainfall which occurs throughout the year on the Daintree Coast, provide the right conditions for tropical fruit trees which are normally only found in the Caribbean, the Amazon, and South East Asia.

There are several exotic fruit orchards at Cape Tribulation where you can purchase or taste the most amazing fruit, and local restaurants and cafes produce such delights as Black Sapote Cheesecake and Soursop Icecream. Bed and Breakfasts in the area provide tropical fruit breakfasts with fruit that you would be lucky to taste elsewhere.
