Itinerary
You will be collected from your accommodation in an air-conditioned four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicle to commence your journey north along one of Australia's most scenic coastal routes towards the World Heritage Listed area - The Daintree Rainforest Cape Tribulation.

You will cross the Daintree River by Cable Ferry, then 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, history and information as you continue on the famous 4WD Bloomfield Track.

The lunch stop is at the acclaimed Lion's Den Hotel (EST 1875) Nth Qld's oldest running Pub. This is followed by a stop at Black Mountain, a unique geological oddity is surrounded in mystery and spoken of in ancient Aboriginal legend.

Arrive in Cooktown where you will have a brief tour of the township and lookout.

Cooktown lies on the shores of the Endeavour River and is one of Australia's last frontiers. A most historically significant township claiming the distinction of having the first settlement in Australia. The main street has a charm and historical atmosphere, which still prevails. You can experience the unspoilt beauty of the area, which remains much the same as Cook knew it in 1770.

Enjoy up to 2 hours to explore historical Cooktown.

Activities in Cooktown
*
Visit the World Class James Cook Museum (closes at 4.00pm)
* Stroll along the shores of the Endeavour River where Captain Cook and his crew stayed for 47 days. Cooktown claims the distinction of having the first settlement in Australia.
* Take one of the walking trails surrounding Cooktown's Heritage and scenic rim with most attractions within easy walking distance. The main street has a charm and historical atmosphere, which still prevails. You can experience the unspoilt beauty of the area, which remains much the same as Cook knew it in 1770.

At your scheduled time depart Cooktown onboard Hinterland Aviation Airlines for your 45 minute flight. Witness beautiful views of the coastline, reef and mountain ranges as you journey back to Cairns.  Own transfer arrangements to your accommodation on arrival at Cairn General Aviation Airport.

Optional Extra
Rainbow Serpent Tour with Nugal-warra Elder, Willie Gordon.  Willie, the traditional story-teller of the Nugal-warra clan, takes you to the Nugal rock art sites, set in stunning countryside high in the hills above Hope Vale. You’ll visit six sites, including the Reconciliation Cave and an ancestral Birthing Site, where Willie shares the stories behind the art – stories which can only be told by Elders of the Nugal clan - and explains how the paintings speak of the essence of life and the lores of his people. With his great smile and infectious laugh, Willie gives you an amazing insight into Aboriginal society and spirituality, and has you thinking about your own relationship with the land and how the lores of his people can apply to us all. The tour includes an estimated 30-minute bush walk on generally easy terrain. Water is provided, and cameras welcome.
