Tropical North Queensland Holidays

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 and eco tours, 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.

Activities 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.

It's a great town for reef dive trips, cruising and sailing centres. Trips are available to the fringe reefs around Fitzroy and Green Islands as well as the outer reef.
