Things to at Cape Tribulation and the Daintree

The pristine Cow Bay beach is within easy reach of our motel: five minutes by car, or a delightful bike ride of 15 minutes, or a leisurely stroll of thirty minutes. This is the best of Far North Queensland, where the Rainforest meets the Reef. Get away from the crowded beaches of Cairns and wander the expansive unspoilt golden sands of the Daintree. You can soak up the sun or sit back and enjoy the scenery under a shady tree only metres from the water.
