Day wise Itinerary

• Day 1 : Arrival

  This morning travel by air-conditioned four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicle, north along the Captain Cook Highway. Your journey takes you across the Daintree River by cable ferry, then along one of Australia’s most scenic coastal routes through the World Heritage Listed Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation.

We follow the 4WD-only Bloomfield Track crossing rivers and climbing mountain ranges with spectacular view.
  
  Your next stop will be the Aboriginal community of Wujal Wujal via the Bobby and Jacky Ball Bloomfield River Bridge, which was completed in late 2014. You will have the opportunity to visit the Bana Yirrji Art and Cultural Center.
  
  We stop for lunch at Blooms Cafe in Ayton before visiting the famous Lion’s Den Hotel, established in 1875 and one of Queensland’s oldest remaining bush pubs. We continue to the unique geological oddity, Black Mountain, surrounded in mystery and spoken of in ancient Aboriginal legend. On arrival in Cooktown, we visit Grassy Hill to marvel at the fabulous panoramic views of the Endeavour River, Cooktown and Coral Sea, the same view Captain Cook had over 200 years ago. Have your camera ready because the views are spectacular!
  
  Transfer to your accommodation in Cooktown for your overnight stay at the 4 Sovereign Resort.

While navigating the maze way of smaller creeks, we will serve a complimentary gourmet cheese platter. After dark, spotlights add a whole new perspective to the impenetrable walls of mangrove trees that line the river. Listen to stories about Captain Cook’s infamous passage along the cape as well as the glory days of the gold rush when Cooktown was the gateway to the frontier.
