The coastline between the Daintree River and Cooktown north of Cairns in Far North Queensland. Cape Tribulation is a rare example of the co-existence of two of the world's most diverse ecosystems, the tropical rainforest and coral reef. The Daintree and Cape Tribulation rainforest is one of the oldest in the world, with a high proportion of primitive species, and was given World Heritage status in 1988. Your experienced guide will give a full interpretation of this rainforest and will expand on the geographical and historical features of the region. Cape Tribulation is known to the locals as "Cape Trib". On your Daintree River cruise your guide will help you find Estuarine crocodiles basking on the banks, egrets, kites and other bird life overhead or an Amethystine python in the tree tops. British naturalist, David Attenborough, described his time spent in the Daintree rainforest as "One of the most magical experiences of my life". Trek North Safari tours from Cairns or Port Douglas will help ensure that you have the same experience.

Over the last 10 years, we have collected seed from around the world and planted an exotic tropical fruit orchard at Cape Tribulation, with more than 100 different species and over 2000 fruit trees from the Amazon, South East Asia, and the Caribbean.
We have chosen to set up an organic farm and apply the philosophy of permaculture to Cape Trib Exotic Fruit Farm. We needed to develop a system which copied the rainforest and provided a supply of nutrients to the orchard trees in rotting material and vegetative matter. To this end large numbers of legume trees, bananas and legume ground covers were planted through the orchard to creat a food forest, and provide a nitrogen supply for the plants.
In 1996, as our trees started to produce enough quanitities of fruit we decided to offer an exotic fruit tasting to visitors who were interested in unusual fruit and permaculture. Hundreds of visitors from around the world have arrived on our doorstep at Cape Tribulation, and we have enjoyed watching them discover for themselves the delights of eating exotic tropical fruit. You can read some the comments from visitors in our guestbook.
