This is Australia’s most famous off road destination.  Experience this remote Cape York wilderness area in the comfort of a well managed trip ensuring maximum comfort and safety. Cape York Peninsula has a complex and fascinating history which adds to the experience of travelling the dirt roads and tracks that carried our early explorers, prospectors and pastoralists who trudged these areas etching out an existence

Our trek northward on this Tour includes a visit to Undarra Lava Lodge where we explore the unique 190,000 year old lava tubes. We continue our journey along the coast to Mossman and Cooktown, crossing the Daintree River, into Cape Tribulation and on to Endeavour Falls.  

As we journey on, we will visit the far northern areas of Lakefield, Cape Melville, Iron Range and Heathland National Parks, Moreton Station, Bramwell Station, Kalpower, Chilli Beach, Coen, and Portland Roads. We travel the Telegraph Line, originally constructed in 1884;  we will cross Palm Creek, Alice Creek, north and south and the Dalhunty.  We journey on to Captain Billy Landing,  truly awesome with its white beaches, blue waters and coloured sand cliffs. Travelling onwards, we visit the spectacular crystal clear waterfalls of Twin Falls and Eliot Falls.  We make our way to the most northern point of Australia, via Punsand Bay. Over the next few days we will spend time at the nearby townships of Seisia and Bamaga.

Our four-night stay at the ‘Top End’ is at a long sweeping beach fringed by pristine bush land. Here you will have the opportunity to visit the very famous and fascinating areas of Thursday and Horn Islands.  While in Seisia, you will also have the opportunity to take a chartered fishing tour or just go walking along the ocean’s shoreline.

The adventure continues via Vrilya Point and then onto the largest town in the Cape, Weipa, for a two-night stopover. A visit to these parts would not be justified without taking in a little ‘crabbing’ or deep sea fishing.  A tour of the largest Bauxite Mining Operation in the world is also not to be missed.

On our homeward leg, we pass through the Archer River and Hann River regions. Our camp for the next two nights provides an excellent example of some of the world's great archaeological treasures. Here the sandstone escarpments of Quinkan country contain    thousands of rock art sites. The final leg of our journey takes us over roads hand carved in the 1880’s to provide access to the Cobb & Co coaches that serviced the bustling gold fields. We visit the former mining townships of Maytown and Mt Mulligan, the sight of whose relics will cast your mind back a century.

The last night of the tour will be at the old Gold Mine at Tryconnell. From here we will then make our to Mareeba and the end to our tour.
