Istražite Cape Tribulation
Cape Tribulation je jedino mjesto na svijetu gdje se susreću dvije zone svjetske baštine. Uz plažu, prašuma Daintree spušta se prema vodama Velikog koraljnog morskog parka, gdje se rubni grebeni gotovo spajaju s morskom obalom. Zaronite u sjevernu granicu Velikog koraljnog grebena kako biste istražili bujne sustave grebena prepune morskih kornjača, raža i mnoštva tropskih riba.
Područje je još uvijek vrlo udaljeno i nema ronilačkih centara. Ronjenje s bocama u Cape Tribulationu odvija se tijekom jednodnevnih izleta brodom iz eko-odmarališta, kao i od nekih brodara u Port Douglasu. S polaskom iz Cairnsa, krstarenja brodovima istražuju grebene i prašumu Cape Tribulationa.

Najbolji mjeseci za ronjenje u Cape Tribulationu
Zbog suptropske klime, ronjenje u Cape Tribulationu moguće je tijekom cijele godine. Kišna sezona u Cape Tribulationu pada između prosinca i travnja, ali to je ujedno i najljepše vrijeme za vidjeti prašumu u punom cvatu. Od srpnja do rujna ponekad se vide grbavi kitovi kako migriraju kroz to područje, ali viđenja su mnogo rjeđa nego u Hervey Bayu, koji se nalazi južnije u Queenslandu.
