Australia: Port Douglas to Cape Tribulation

- Traveling Australia, Port Douglas to Cape Tribulation. If you're looking for a tropical getaway on your next vacation, checkout Queensland's far north coast! Situated on the fringe of the world's oldest rainforest. The Daintree stretches along a ribbon of coastline and white sandy beaches that kiss the Great Barrier Reef.
Port Douglas is a small beach town with friendly locals, great accommodations, tasty eateries and fun shopping. The town is easy to walk with most of the food, shopping and several hotels situated around the main street, Macrossan. The main grocery store is Coles in the town center, a small Food Works is also nearby. Accommodations typically cost more in this popular vacation town, so it's a good idea to shop around online for cheaper deals. We like Agoda, Booking, Trip Advisor, and Wotif.
Cape Tribulation is an awe-inspiring experience. Getting there is easy, from Port Douglas take the Cook Highway north and follow the signs to the Cape Tribulation ferry, it's $23 roundtrip. No need for a 4x4 if you stay on the main road. This region is truly where the Daintree rainforest meets the Great Barrier Reef. Explore the area by taking a bush walk (there are several great walk paths and boardwalks) or relax on the white sand beaches. Cape Tribulation has a handful of accommodations but a day trip from Port Douglas is a great option and we found a full day to be a good amount of time to see the sights.
Thanks for watching!
xoxo,
Christine

thank you so much for this...reminds me when i was there when i was 20....loved it....
Gorgeous beaches and landscape. Uhg, Australia is beautiful! I really love how you two actually move around to a lot of places to explore each part!
Heaven on earth.....thanks Christine!
Australia is so beautiful!!!!! Thanks so much for taking us along, Christine and Michael!!!!
Love these travel vlogs Christine!! Thank you so much for sharing :)
You two really look healthy! All that good food and traveling is working for y'all! I really enjoy seeing the places you visit and the food you eat there. He is really cute!
Thanks for the wonderfull veiw of the rain forest leaves...they're huge! Australia looks soooo nice...
March 2020, right before the Covid Shut Down: We arrived from Sydney too late on Sunday 3/7 to enjoy the Port Douglas market so it was nice to get a feel for it from this couple's video. We stayed at the Thala Beach Resort close to Oak Beach. The resort was a luxury, relaxing amazing place. There is more flexibility with self drive, but we enjoyed our day trip to the Daintree, Cape Tribulation and Mossman . Our time in the area included one day at the Barrier Reef, one day in Port Douglas, a day just at the Resort and then boo hoo, back to Cairns to rejoin our cruise on 3/12/20. And on 3/13/20 everything hit the fan, -- our adventure was over or beginning!. We had to skip Darwin and speed to Freemantle for disembarkation and repatriation to the US from Perth. So glad we did this side trip to North Queensland. It was lovely.
Great video Christine. thanks for uploading.
Stunning beautiful pristine beaches! Australia is really beautiful! Thank you for sharing. Love the little koala bear! Bargain of the day 10 cents!
That 360 view of the beach and sound was so relaxing.
What I've learned from watching your Australia vids...they sure do have some beautiful beaches!!! :)
the sounds on the florest: amazing!
Nicest place on earth to holiday- always amazing heading up the top of Australia. beautiful climate, beautiful place , beautiful people & plenty to see. I liked Cape Tribulation, went to the beach during October, but I forgot it was stinger season, warned to keep out of water after end Sept. So I went in, luckily it was ok.
You bet there are crocodiles hanging in there in the water, I saw a black tree snake hanging down over water in Daintree.
Great Holiday Trip !
Great Videos.
Greetings from Europe / Munich - for beautiful Australia.
Nice videos guys, I've watched ur video of Maui, just before I went there, was there last October and November, magic! Just now I plan a trip to Qeensland and I run into ur AUS video again!! Aloha!
Where the rainforest meets the reef - I lived up there for a few years at Cooya Beach. Love that you're taking me back there in these videos Christine and Michael. Thank you. xo
Thank you for shering your journey with us. I newer new that Australia is that beautiful. It reminds me of Hawaii just much, much bigger.
I love watching these travelling videos :)
Love your travel vlogs
Thanks for sharing!! Australia is beautiful!
Loving these Australia videos...wish I could go there.
Wow what a beautiful place... x
Hope you enjoyed Cape Tribulation! Check out our video for more contents from the Tropical North Queensland 🌴🦘🐨 🐊
Yes guys, no swimming - unless you want to live very dangerously. This is what the pools are here for, but there are mountain streams not all that far were it is save to do so. Enjoy your stay !
how peaceful!
I had a great time in port Douglas for 10 days it was great just got back 2 days ago
Im travelling around Cairns at the moment been up a bit north as well just amazing lush environments up here only thing is the beaches are SOO much better down south in new south wales, because of the reef the beaches are quite flat with no waves but new south wales has some of the best surfing wave beaches.
So beautiful. I was supposed to visit Cape Tribulation on my trip but it rained so hard we couldn't get there. I really missed out! Loving your travel vlogs x
I am going to miss your travels as much as you will :)
I would think a "vacation" would be just that. This isn't a humanitarian tour! Besides, what country doesn't have a problem with all those things, plus more?
I appreciate that they are contributing to the economy and appreciate the "escape" that not all of us can have in our lives at this moment.
What splendid places! Compliment a very beautiful video! :-)) Gianni.
Great video. Makes me a little homesick for Nth Qld. We lived at Palm Cove
Lucky you! I took a tour from Cairns and when I turned into the main street in Palm Cove, I thought I had died and gone to heaven:-))))))
Visited Palm Cove years back it's the perfect paradise so peaceful and tranquil. Hope to return one day
Hope you guys having the best time in Cape Tribulation 🌴🌴
Best 10cents Michael has spent!!! Hehe! You two are great! Continue having fun!!! See you in your next video!! Xo
Nice video, good impression!
Been to carins love it coming from new Zealand we can swim anywhere our beach's are fantastic to. Love there heat thoe
Looks gorgeous. Really helpful aswell as my family and I will be staying in port douglas in October this year. Any hints tips do's or do not's that we should know about???
Thank you Christine :)
lizard island is the most beautiful place!!! i LOVED IT when i went a few years ago!!! please go if you can, its amazing :)
That person was in no way being rude, they were simply explaining why the original comment was such a generalisation and in no way a true reflection of the reality of Australian life.
Hahaha, yes, there definitely WILL be something waiting in there for you, something hungry. I'm glad you didn't take a dip in that lovely calm water Michael.
hope you had a good time in my part of the world. I love it here (bit hot in summer tho).
LOVE the INTRO music! (What is it?)
Your travel videos have been awesome. Very educational. What a peaceful country Australia is!
Thanks again for sharing this beautiful place with all of us.You guys could do a remake of the movie Blue Lagoon only in real life.lol
No wonder why you guys are not in a hurry to come home to Maui yet. Those beaches/places are beautiful. I'm still trying to figure out how to go about saving enough money to travel like you guys do...oh well, for now, i'll just travel through your videos. Thanks!
I loved Cape Tribulation. Thought it was one of the most beautiful beaches I'd been too. Such a shame it's too dangerous to swim there! Gorgeous part of the world. You'll have to come back and do the outback and the West coast - down from Broome - you'd love it over there too.
I used to swim there all the time - but only during the day, and only during the cooler stinger-free months.
Is it possible Australia's beaches are more beautiful than Hawaii's? Amazing beaches!
When you get back to Hawaii, please give us a tour of the U.S.S.Arizona memorial!
I miss your normal videos - eagerly awaiting your return! :)
I was wondering what kind of camera you use in the water. Thanks!
I think you two should start a tour company, I'd love to travel with you both.
This reminds me of Paul Hogan in " Crocodile dundee "
I have been there before it is so good
I was there 2 days a ghost go checkout my videos
the daintree village is very Nth, above there it looks like London I bet. why did you leave of.
Rainforest to reef
where did you find the paw paws? :) x
Love your travel videos, but when are you coming home?
Dh and I went to Deland, Fla to visit my aunt-we were walking along the John's River-got to the end of the walkway and there was a sign that said don't feed the crocodiles!! What?? When we started looking closely in the river we saw them.
Am wondering if you see the questions that people ask here as I never see a response, I perhaps missed it. When do you have to go back to Hawaii? Beautiful vids.
Shame you didn't go to Green Island.
its the best place in the world to stay in an eco-friendly resort and swim with Green Turtles, reef sharks, heaps of fish and Dolphins. Too many to mention.
And it is a stones throw away from a great spot on the Great Barrier Reef.
They'll be back in mid-November - I think 11/15.
Why did this video have to end so soon! Loved it! Thank you Christine and Michael for all the time you take to film and edit and upload your videos. It's greatly appreciated and enjoyed. Greetings from Melbourne, Australia. xox
do the toilets spin the other way ? sorry just thought of it :)
Are you going to norway?:) I hope you can come here to norway:)
You mean driving on the left hand side of the road. The side that the driver's seat is on is not the issue! lol.
I love this place too.. Actually I was showing the last video to my husband and he what about the crocodiles? And I said what? Is there crocodiles too? And now you guys are mentions them now!! Scary!!!
It's really dangerous to swim in the ocean at this time of year, that far north with no stinger suit. Box jelly fibs can kill.
She is showing tourist areas, actually.
Wonder why no one is in the water swimming? Box jelly's…careful!
I heard this this was one of the worlds dangerous beaches
Yep! Big Crocs. i mean BIG
More likely to swim into a box jellyfish.
7:52 Looks like a barramundi.
Привет из РОССИИ. SUPER))))
Even in a small town... not locking your doors nowadays is stupid. Just asking for trouble. Had our car broken into more than once as well... and I live in a regional town. Maybe 10 or 15 years ago - one might not have bothered locking your doors if you were just going out for a walk or something but that was then... this is now and even in a small-ish town, it's necessary to lock up, of course it is. Hilarious to hear your take on crime in a country you've never even been to.
Oh come on, it's not that bad, I live in the suburb that has the highest crime rate in Queensland and my life is still fine, it doesn't touch you if your sensible and don't go out looking for it.
The internet :(
That's funny to read as an Aussie (even one who lives in a regional area - small town of 20,000) Like the 50s!?! You've gotta be joking! I'll be honest, yes, we do enjoy a lower crime rate than many western nations but those values & peace you speak of - you're obviously buying into the Oprah/tourism campaign version of Aus. We have gangs in our big cities just like other countries, one of the highest obesity rates in the world, same issues as you folks - so, like it was in the 50s? haha, no!
same generic "cuisine" at any $5 Thai place.
i would have to say Port Douglas is the most OVER RATED PLACE.. the beaches are no different to the ones along the whole australian coast..i give it 2/10 as a score.
True. Surfers Paradise is better. Then so are many NSW beaches..they are the best.
Surfers Paradise sucks. I live there. Best beaches are def Northern NSW.
Yup!
It means that Australia is a tourist state and want people to see it as ideal. It is not even remotely an ideal state of being.
no, that's actually just a silly myth. And not even an interesting one at that... who cares!
Don't be deceived by that...australians appear laid back...but I have worked in a law firm in Australia..and they are just as ambitious as the rest of the planet. So my experience is its a bit of a myth! lol
That's only true for the big cities. 90% of people in the rest of the country are indeed laid back
Looks gorgeous. Really helpful aswell as my family and I will be staying in port douglas in October this year. Any hints tips do's or do not's that we should know about???
suegush take a rain coat in summer its the wet season
+lee coates - we're going for 5 days over Christmas, will it rain every day? will the rain last long or does it just last 20 minutes then dries up?
