When traveling north on the Captain Cook Highway you will cross the Daintree River on the way to Cape Tribulation. Here you must use the ferry to cross the rapidly flowing croc infested Daintree River.

Charging 16 Australian Dollars (return) for the ride, this ferry operates on cables that cross the river.

The 21-car ferry runs from 6 AM thru Midnight 7 days a week.

Ten kilometers upriver from here is the village of Daintree, where you can hire a boat to explore the mangrove lagoons and see crocs up close.
