The obvious attraction for the kids in Cape Tribulation is the miles of golden sand adjoining the rainforest. The beach is the perfect place for gathering driftwood or shells, building sandcastles, or just strolling along the sand. It's also a great place for a spot of fishing – you might even be lucky enough to catch your evening meal.
Older kids and teens will love the "jungle surfing" zipline tours. What could be more exhilarating than zooming through the treetops? Along the way, your guide will point out interesting plants and animals, and give some more information about the evolution of the rainforest. Visit on a clear day, when the views out to sea are the clearest.
And what kids don't like ice cream? Stop at the Floravilla Ice Cream Factory in Cow Bay, part art gallery, part ice cream parlour. Choose from its mind-boggling range of ice cream flavours, all made from local organic milk and natural flavourings. Delicious.
