- To quote David Attenborough, The Daintree Rainforest is the “MOST EXTRAORDINARY PLACE ON EARTH” and we couldn’t agree more!
In the next 2 videos our trip in a van continues north as we explore the very best (in our opinion…) of Cape Tribulation and The Daintree Rainforest.
The Daintree Rainforest in Tropical North Queensland has some of the best swimming holes, hiking, 4wding and beaches in the world.
Join us in Part 1 (and subsequent Parts) as we acquaint ourselves with this land. We setup the caravan in amongst the rainforest then get straight out in the Ranger to explore.
Following a tip from a friend, our first stop is finding the not-so-known BLUE HOLE, a swimming hole in literal paradise - surrounded by dense forest and beautiful palms, and yes it lived up to its name ;)
Second stop is Cow Bay Beach, the first beach you’ll come to after you cross the Daintree River.
And finally we finish the day at the Daintree Icecream Company, eating our way through tropical fruits - in ice cream form, that’s our kind of way to eat fruit!
Highlights:
0:00 Intro
1:48 Daintree Ferry
2:06 Safari Lodge Campsite
6:55 Insane Swim Spot (croc free)
16:04 Cow Bay Beach
17:04 Daintree Ice Cream Co
When travelling Australia, if you know where to look (or if you watch our videos ;)), you’ll discover gems like this.
As part of our big lap of australia, we’re getting to the end of our Queensland roadtrip and we can’t wait to show you more of this sunburnt country and it’s coral reefs, 4wd beaches, fishing spots, mountains, waterfall gorges and rainforests as we head up and over the tip of Australia. Stay tuned!
We’d like something to show the grandkids, so we’ve set ourselves the task of making videos of our Australian travel adventures. If you want to follow along and see if we love (or hate) not having a routine or more than 6 metres of living space as we caravan Australia… or if you’re just looking for holiday inspiration, then SUBSCRIBE!

Shrimpy🦐
You’re shrimply the best! Cheers for the kind words 🥰🤟
@@IfNotNow I like it “Shrimplythebest” travelling is not a holiday - it’s now a lifestyle👍
Next level production as always guys! Great stuff
Thanks Adam!! 😆 and we’re aiming for 1 a week now… let’s see if we can keep it up! 🤞🤞
Another great episode legends!!
Are you guys planning a QLD trip? If so, let us know where and perhaps we have some thoughts to share 🤙
@@IfNotNow thanks! We were planning on heading to QLD to do the Cape next year but think we are going to focus on WA and NT that trip and do QLD when we have more time. Noticed you have a vid out on Kakadu will have to watch that for some tips!
Does EVERYONE from down under look like Chris Hemsworth and Kiera Knightly LOL
Hahahahahaaaaa you are so funny! I tell Duncan he looks like CH all the time and he thinks I'm bonkers (maybe it's wishful thinking ;)) and thank you, she's a stunner so I'll take that any day. All the best! xo
Going to try and find the Blue Hole today with your directions. Hope we can find it and enjoy our first swim 🔵
Oh wonderful! I’m sure you’ll find it with no troubles. Enjoy the water it really is very relaxing
@@IfNotNow found it but then when getting changed at the rear of the car I shut the boot with my keys locked in the car. No phone no internet and two woman.
Lady said I got back lick for swimming there as a sacred aboriginal site for woman only (only my daughter and I)
The Blue Hole is a sacred site and the Kuku Yalanji ask that people do not visit.
Another one. We won't know ourselves 🤣🤣 Well done guys.
We’re telling you your free time is GONE now haha 😆
@@IfNotNow nice vlog guys. Oresome quality and those plant shots just make it next level. 😁
hey- you upploaded superb content.see u around! man,😮
Thanks heaps 😊😊
Big Suz from the Peep Show!
Hahaha thanks! Funny someone once said that when I was at uni, but I haven’t heard the reference in years 👌🥰
My partner and I are headed to cairns in November but I’ve been trying to find how to get to the blue hole for over a month but can’t find it anywhere. I think I found it by using the directions you said and looking at the birds eye view from your video vs google maps of the area and I think I found it but I’m not 100% sure. Did you find it by turning left or right at the river and did you follow along the river or veer off at some point?
Hey Hayley,
I'm so sorry for my delay, I'm not sure how I missed your message. There's some blogs online which provide directions. We carried on at the river, kept it on our left... and we didn't really need to veer too far off.
How do you know if there are crocs or not
Most places (or at least most known places) have signage up and within national parks they’re monitored daily by rangers. This particular place had quite a few swimmers already in the water and the water is crystal clear too
The Blue Hole street and area has no mobile and internet reception. Don’t do what I did and lock your keys in the boot whilst getting changed out of your bathers.
Yep, stuck there for hours be hours with RACQ having to come over the car ferry to rescue my daughter and I.
Lady who help said I was cursed by visiting the Blue hole being a sacred site
Oh gosh! That would have been so frustrating! Hopefully you weren’t still in your bathers 😬☺️
A story to tell that you can laugh about now I hope
@@IfNotNow
No terrifying. I was so scared and no one in sight, getting dark, didn’t have insurance on rental car, no phone or internet and just myself and my daughter.
I wasn’t sure if any Cassowaries or crocs were about.
Got saved when it got dark and had to shine our iPhone lights on the car to break open.
Thank goodness no one was locked inside. Bloody stupid Kia
“If not now, then when” but trying a beautiful different selection of locally made ice creams isn’t worth your time even if your partner wants to?
Ha yes that’s what I tell him whenever I want to do something 🙊😝
The Blue hole.was local spot .but now everyone knows about it t.tourists just follow walker,s tracks and watch where they park.The Perch Pool is prettier
Yes it is inevitable isn't it. We constantly find ourselves wrestling with sharing beautiful natural places so that others may enjoy them also, and leaving them less known to protect what we find so beautiful in the first place. We hope that by sharing places and treating them respectfully and encouraging others to do the same, we can all enjoy them and look after them too.
Ah we haven't heard of The Perch Pool, perhaps it's one for the bucket list when we return 😍
7mins of talking about roof racks
Thanks for timing it for us 😅😂 technical we talking about an issue with the roof rack and us trying to fix it.
You should delete this video. It’s a sacred aboriginal birthing site, men should not visit it and to upload directions is blatantly disrespectful.
What a load of horseshit. Other than privately owned land Australia is for all of us to see and explore
Seriously ?
PLEASE NOTE:
The blue hole is a scared ladies ONLY aboriginal site.
Turpentine road and look out for the microwave letter box at the gate. But I would suggest don’t go to the sacred site and protect it. If I knew this before hand I would not have gone there out of respect.
Hi Emelia,
It is a beautiful natural area, thank you for sharing this information.
