Cape Tribulation Day Tours via Bloomfield Falls

July 22, 2011

“I would just like to thank you for a wonderful day out to Bloomfield Falls and Cape Tribulation on 27 November.  In particular, our guide, David R was fantastic – a wealth of knowledge of the world of the rainforest and good fun too!  He is definately an asset to your company and made our trip very memorable.Thanks Dave!   Ray and Christine.”

Join us on this Cape Tribulation day tour. This Tour leaves Port Douglas at 7.20am and returns at approximately 6.30pm , taking you deeper into the Daintree Rainforest and travelling further North. The Tour offers only one interpretive walk in the heart of the Daintree Rainforest, it does not include the Mossman Gorge due to lack of time in the day.
It does however include 66kms of off road driving, deserted beaches, rugged and scenic landscapes.
Our Cairns to Cooktown via Daintree Regional Map on the left hand side of our ‘home page” will show a ‘broken line’ between Cape Tribulation and the Bloomfield Falls. This is the Bloomfield Track. This part of the journey is 33 kms and takes approximately one hour and fifteen minutes each way of off road driving crossing Emmagen and Woobadda creeks as well as The Bloomfield River.

Bloomfield Falls Day Tour

The return time is only approximate as much depends on creek and river crossings, ferry queues, weather, Bloomfield Track and road conditions.

The Bloomfield Falls Tour is a long day and may not be suitable for many children. We do not recommend this Tour for young children. The Bloomfield Track can be at times throughout the year be very dusty, jarring and an uncomfortable ride. We do not recommend this Tour for anyone with a back or with hip ailment or the very elderly.
The flow of the Bloomfield Falls can vary throughout the year. During our ‘wet’ season, The Bloomfield Falls are normally running at peak, the creeks and rivers are swollen, making it quite an adventure however during the ‘drier’ parts of the year, the creeks, river and The Bloomfield Falls can at times look rather dismal making the extra length of the journey quite unappealing.

We have in the past cancelled this Tour due to the very dry dusty state of the Bloomfield Track and lack of flow at the Bloomfield Falls and during our ”very wet” conditions have also had to cancel the Tour due to local flooding.

 Photos taken of the Bloomfield Falls taken at different times of the year. Note: Weather patterns are different each year and our ”wet” can commence late and end late which can make a huge difference to the  flow of the Falls.

Our recommendation is to contact us prior to booking and ask the questions that may concern you and we will do our very best to answer them all and try and place you on the most suitable tour for you and your family/friends taking in the factors mentioned above.

One of my Favourite Days in Australia

June 27, 2011

Randall was great the minute he picked us up in his Land Rover til when he dropped us off. He is so knowledgeable about the history and wildlife in the Daintree area. We loved seeing the wildlife he noticed in the forest. We saw cassowaries, a lace monitor, a small kangaroo, spiders camouflaged in the bark of a tree, a tree snake, and lots of other wildlife! This trip is seemed a bit overpriced but we were extremely satisfied with how smoothly and entertaining our day was! Thank you, Randall!
