Driving north to Cape Tribulation, how do you cross the Daintree River?

Answer: Vehicle ferry

The Daintree Ferry carries cars and passengers across the river, 5am to midnight, every day.

5am–midnight daily · Cape Tribulation Road, Lower Daintree

Douglas Shire Council sets the fares each year on 1 July. Buy online for a QR code, or pay by card or cash at the ferry. River and tide conditions can affect it, so check the status page.
