Tour Description

Day 1 (lunch included)
You will be collected from your accommodation by our air-conditioned 4wd vehicle, and travel north to Cooktown on the Bama Way. The journey takes you across the Daintree River by cable ferry, then along one of Australia’s most scenic coastal routes through the World Heritage Listed Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation. Your experienced and informative guide will add to your enjoyment with his knowledge of the area, as you follow the 4wd-only Bloomfield Track through some of the most rugged terrain in the country. After crossing rivers and climbing mountain ranges with spectacular views, we stop for lunch at the famous Lion’s Den Hotel, established in 1875 and one of Queensland’s oldest running bush pubs. Your overnight stay is at the Sovereign Resort Hotel in the heart of Cooktown.

Day 2
You will be collected by Guurrbi Tours at 7.45 am for your air-conditioned drive to the rock art sites outside Hope Vale and the Rainbow Serpent Tour. Return to Cooktown around 1.15 pm, where you will have the remainder of the afternoon to explore this beautiful, historic town. You can visit the world-class James Cook Museum, take a stroll down the main street to the Wharf, check out the Milbi Wall which tells the Aboriginal history of the area, or simply relax on the verandah at Nature’s Powerhouse in the Botanical Gardens. Your return flight to Cairns departs Cooktown airport at 5.20 pm (4.20 pm on Saturdays).
