Tropical Nth Queensland

Travel in the Queensland Tropical North extends from Cape York in the north to the sugar fields of Tully and Ingham in the south and the Northern Territory border in the west.

The Tropical North coastal areas offer a range of resorts, rainforests, barrier reef access, cruising and sailing, sport fishing, diving, jet boating, hot-air ballooning, white water rafting at several sites, sea kayaking and clear water canoeing. The region is home to some of Australia's most popular tour activities.

Tours in the Cape York and gulf savannah regions are usually supervised 4WD safari style tours. These tours last from a few days to a few weeks. They will typically offer aboriginal cultures and lifestyles, wildlife, fishing, goldrush relics, Lawn Hill National Park and off road adventures. 

This region boasts some of the world's best fresh water and ocean fishing.
