Rainforest Hideaway - Cape Tribulation bed and breakfast accommodation & sculpture trail in the Daintree rainforest of tropical north Queensland Australia
There is a good choice of boardwalks and walking trails around Cape Tribulation where you can explore the rainforest on your own but there are a few reasons to book on a guided day or nightwalk.
The rainforest at night is a different place, where animals come out that hide during the day.
Your guide knows where they live, and he is trained in spotting the often very well camouflaged animals.
Your tourguide will also tell you all about this amazing flora and fauna, so you get an understanding of how everything in the rainforest eco system is connected to eachother.
Jungle Adventures only runs guided nightwalks, while Mason's Tours is the only tour operator in Cape Tribulation that runs both nightwalk and daywalks.
About 20 minutes south of Cape Tribulation there are also guided day and nightwalks available at Cooper Creek Wilderness.
Jungle Adventures runs night walks every night, pick-up times start from around 19:30, prices are $40.- for nightwalks only, or $30.- if booked together with a Junglesurf.
All included are torches, raincoats, transfers and expert commentary by highly trained guides. In day time they can also take you right into the canopy which is not normally accessible, this is known as Jungle Surfing.BOOK JUNGLE ADVENTURES ONLINE WITH INSTANT CONFIRMATION
