About Cape Tribulation

Getting here

Coconut Beach House is located 2km south of the township of Cape Tribulation.

The drive to Cape Tribulation from Cairns is known as the Great Barrier Reef Drive, and is one of the most spectacular coastal journeys in Australia. The road hugs the coastline with sweeping ocean and beach views before crossing the Daintree River by ferry and winding through rainforest before descending the Noah Range to Coconut Beach which you will glimpse to your right just before the road splits around a tree.

Take your time and enjoy the journey. Allow 3 hours from Cairns, 2 ½ from Cairns Airport or Northern Beaches and 2 hours from Port Douglas.

The Daintree River Ferry runs from 5am to midnight daily and it's a good idea to check their website for up-to-date travel information before you set off.  Please be aware that during peak periods (school holidays) there can be long queues at the Daintree Ferry which may add more than an hour to your journey, so we advise setting off early to avoid the queues.
