About
Why we Love a budget Cape Tribulation Overnight Tour
Cape Tribulation is found in the heart of the Daintree National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Area which contains the oldest continually surviving tropical rainforests in the world. This forest is home to around 50% of Australia’s plant and animal species with many found nowhere else in the world. By choosing a Cape Tribulation overnight tour package you are able to maximise your time to explore this beautiful area with its breathtaking scenery staying at the stunning Cape Tribulation Beach House. This is the only beach front accommodation on Cape Tribulation Beach. You get 24 hours free time to relax, take in the sunset and sunrise and even go wild with some exciting activities that include 1/2 day outer reef trip, jungle surfing and night walks spotting rainforest critters. Even better there are two differently priced Packages within the same trip;- STARTER PACKAGE: This does NOT include Lunch (BYO) or entry to the *Port Douglas Wildlife Habitat Sanctuary (free time in Port Douglas town/beach).
- DELUXE PACKAGE: This option includes Lunch and Entry to the *Port Douglas Wildlife Habitat Sanctuary.
- Stunning Scenic Drives
- *Port Douglas Wildlife Habitat Centre (Deluxe Package)
- Guided walk through beautiful Mossman Gorge
- One hour Daintree River Wildlife & Crocodile Cruise
- Visit Cape Tribulation Beach and Lookout
- World Heritage Daintree National Park
- 1 Nights Accomodation at Cape Tribulation Beach House
- 24 hours Free Time to Explore!
Departs/Returns:
- Departs Daily from: 7:00am

*Tree Hugger Travel is not in favour of supporting animal parks or zoos. We let our clients decide if this is right for them. Port Douglas Wildlife Habitat Sanctuary is a zoo. It does however support local wildlife carer organisations and does have its own rehabilitation centre which rehabilitates and releases lots of local injured wildlife.
Accommodation
Cape Tribulation Beach House
“Location, location, location” is the perfect phrase for this very popular jungle and beach getaway located on 7 acres of picturesque private Cape Tribulation Beach frontage.
Enjoy a drink at the bar, take a dip in the saltwater pool, or unwind with relaxing massage. Most nights conclude with a bonfire on the beach where stories are shared, marshmallows are toasted and guests become friends.
See adjacent room options and contact us for group, family or additional rooms not available to book online.
Want to stay longer? Just ask. We can organise longer stays and accommodation at other lodges and exclusive resorts.
