Itinerary
You will be collected from your accommodation by Adventure North’s air-conditioned four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicle. Travel north along the Captain Cook Highway, one of Australia’s most scenic coastal drives towards the World Heritage Listed Daintree National Park, crossing the mighty Daintree River by cable ferry. You will journey through this spectacular wet tropical rainforest and the oldest continuously growing rainforest in the world, renowned for its amazing diversity of plant and animal life.
Your experienced guide will enlighten your journey with incredible stories and history as you continue on the 4WD only Bloomfield Track. This will take you through some of the most incredible scenery in the country, crossing rivers and mountain ranges. Lunch is at the famous Lion’s Den Hotel (est. 1875), one of North Queensland’s oldest running bush pubs.
After lunch continue to the unique geological oddity, which is Black Mountain, surrounded in mystery and spoken of in ancient Aboriginal legend. Arriving in Cooktown you will have a 360 degree views from Grassy Hill of the Endeavour River, Coral Sea and Cooktown. Have your camera ready! Enjoy free time to explore historical Cooktown.
Activities in Cooktown

* Stroll along the shores of the Endeavour River where Captain Cook and his crew stayed for 47 days. Cooktown claims the distinction of having the first settlement in Australia.
* Take one of the walking trails surrounding Cooktown's Heritage and scenic rim with most attractions within easy walking distance. The main street has a charm and historical atmosphere, which still prevails. You can experience the unspoilt beauty of the area, which remains much the same as Cook knew it in 1770.
Return journey is by the inland road, the Mulligan Highway, traveling through a diverse landscape of cattle stations, the Palmer River goldfields region which is the outback of Far North Queensland. Evening meal break (at your own expense,) at an authentic Queenslander pub in the old mining town of Mount Carbine. At the completion of your day you will be transferred to your accommodation in Port Douglas or Cairns.
