Transport to the Daintree
- Cape Tribulation area
The Daintree - Cape Tribulation area is easily reached
from Cairns and Port Douglas by car or coach service. Several door
to door bus services depart Cairns and Port Douglas daily and reach
Cape Tribulation in about three hours. There is a cable ferry crossing
across the Daintree River operating from 6 am till midnight and
now that the road is sealed all the way from the Daintree River
to Cape Tribulation a conventional car is all you need, a four wheel
drive is needed to go further north of Cape Tribulation.
Some car rental companies still object to their cars
going to Cape Tribulation, ignoring the fact the road has been sealed
all the way to Cape Tribulation since 2002, so check before you
rent.
