Where is the Dubuji Boardwalk?

The Dubuji Boardwalk starts at the car park by the junction of Cape Tribulation Road and Camelot Close in Cape Tribulation. It’s opposite the Safari Lodge and Campground, about 34km north of the Daintree River Ferry crossing. From the Noah Beach camping area near the Marrdja Boardwalk, it’s a 5km drive.

What will I see on the Dubuji Boardwalk?

The strength of the Dubuji Boardwalk is the variety of habitats within such a short distance. It starts as seemingly thick rainforest, then becomes mangrove swamp after crossing a small creek. And then, at the end, comes the sandy beach.

Signs along the route tell how the plants and animals of the Daintree have adapted to survive.
