Great Barrier Reef

Cape Tribulation is the only place on earth were the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest, two UNESCO World Heritage sites coincide. The Daintree Rainforest is the oldest surviving rainforest on the planet, estimated to be up to 165 million years old. While the Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest living organism, stretching approximately 2,300km along the coast of Queensland.

No Far North Queensland holiday is complete without a visit to Cape Tribulation, nestled in the heart of the Daintree Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. Why not experience both World Heritage Sites in one incredible location — and even in the same day!

Most visitors begin their Daintree adventure from Cairns, Palm Cove, or Port Douglas, where you’ll find plenty of tour options as well as car hire services for those who prefer to self-drive.

Ferntree Rainforest Lodge offers the perfect base to enjoy, explore, and discover the wonders of the Daintree Rainforest, the Great Barrier Reef, and beyond.
