Itinerary:

You will be collected by our air-conditioned four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicle. Our North Queensland tours travel north along the Captain Cook Highway, one of Australia’s most scenic coastal drives towards the World Heritage Listed Daintree National Park. You will cross the Daintree River by cable ferry and journey through this spectacular example of Mother Nature, which contains the highest number of plant and animal species that are rare, or threatened by extinction.

Your experienced guide will enlighten your journey with incredible stories and history as you continue on the 4WD only Bloomfield Track.  This 32km track will take you through some of the most spectacular scenery in Australia, crossing rivers and climbing mountain ranges.  We stop for lunch at the famous Lion’s Den Hotel (est. 1875), North Queensland’s oldest running bush pub. We continue to the unique geological oddity, which is Black Mountain, surrounded in mystery and spoken of in ancient Aboriginal legend.

Our tours arrive in Cooktown where you will have an amazing 360 degree view from Grassy Hill.  Vistas of the Coral Sea, the Endeavour River and Cooktown.  Have your camera ready!  Enjoy free time to explore Cooktown. Our North Queensland tours return by the inland road, the Mulligan Highway, through a diverse landscape of cattle stations, the Palmer River Goldfields where one of Australia's richest gold fields was discovered in 1872.  The outback of Far North Queensland offers amazing scenery.
