Arguably the most magnificent waterfall in the
greater Daintree Rainforest Region, the Bloomfield River Falls can
only be reached via the rough and controversy 33 km Bloomfield Track, a 4
wheel drive safari that can be rugged to the extreme under some weather
conditions.
While this safari combines some of the
highlights of Safari 1, such as a Daintree River Cruise, and the many
scenic views, it's true value lies beyond the Cape where the last of the
untouched upland and lowland forests still remain. See the verdant flora in the
deep valleys below the track and enjoy some of the best views along the
Australian coastline.
But it is the splendour of the 40 metre high
waterfall upstream, where the river plunges between perpendicular canyon walls
into the misty gorge below with awesome power, that climaxes the day.
It's a powerful place, a true wilderness where
nature rules with the power of water and where ancient Aboriginal dreamtime
beings dwell. Some rock art is also present on the rocks near the falls.
This safari combines a variety of environments,
ranging from rainforest, coastal, to upland monsoon forests and riverine
environments. it's perhaps the ultimate day safari out of Port Douglas, a safari
of unrivalled grandeur. Mini-group of only 6 people. Well worth the early start,
the makings of a grand day.
