The Blue Hole at the Daintree Rainforest Cape Tribulation QLD Australia. How to get there!

Описание: The blue hole located within the Daintree Rainforest at Cape tribulation in Queensland is not listed on any Google search nor is it signposted, However, the directions to get to the location are listed on Blogger with a simple Google search about how you get to the blue hole at the Daintree rainforest . You just have to know where to look.! 
:-) But for your convenience, we have copied and pasted the exact directions that we followed to the location!!! :-)
It is a aboriginal sacred location swimming is highly discouraged and there are many signs posted stating to keep out and do not swim within the blue hole out of respect for the site, there are tours apparently which will take you to view the blue holes (the other being Alexandra Falls) which are located close to each other however we did not see any tours listed when we visited in December 2025. We also did not walk to the Falls due to the cyclonic weather conditions that we experienced throughout the duration of our trip.
A trip to far North Queensland in the summer being their wet season is highly not recommended!!! go in the dry season definitely especially if you would like to experience all of the wonders of this area! 

Please read below for the following information;


Alexandra Falls and the Blue Hole is located within the Daintree National Park, Far North Queensland.
The Daintree is a 2 hour drive north of Cairns providing a picturesque drive along coast shoreline, there are many spots along the drive to pull over if you wish to enjoy one of the beaches, there is also the Rex lookout providing 180 degree views of the coastline. Bypass Port Douglas and head towards Mossman, go straight through Mossman and follow the main road for around an hour before you turn off to the right and head for the Daintree River ferry.
The Daintree River ferry charges for most motor vehicles $14 one-way or $25 return.

Entrance to driveway
Once across the river follow the Cape Tribulation Road, watch out for Cassowaries. After 18km you will come to Turpentine Road, turn left here. If you get to Coopers Creek, you have missed the turn off and head back. Once on Turpentine Road follow the road for 850m down and you will see a driveway on your right, sometimes there will be a gate across saying "Emergency vehicle access", park on the side of the road, you will notice that its been used heavily by cars pulling over on the side. You will know if you missed the driveway if you come to the Heritage Lodge & Spa the driveway is about 150m before.

Blue Hole
Walk down the driveway where at 400m you will come to a sign on the gate explaining about it being a protected location.

Please respect this area, you will notice a track that goes off behind the sign follow the track through less than 100m and you will arrive at the blue hole.

Alexandra Falls
Walk back to the information sign on the blue holes and follow the driveway down to the creek. From here the journey begins, the walk is technically very easy you shouldn't be able to get lost, just follow the creek all the way up to the falls. With that said there is one section of the creek which breaks off from the main creek do not go down this creek continue to follow the main creek around the bend. The walk is approximately 3.7km, time will depend on many factors, which include, did you take shoes, has the weather been sunny and the rocks are dry, are you fishing along the way. It took a mate and I 3 hours to get to the falls we went barefooted, and it was raining the entire time so most rocks were slippery to an extent and we fished along the way. With appropriate footwear and blue skies I believe the walk can well and truly be done within 2 hours.

The walk is definitely one of the nicer and more enjoyable walks I have done, there are small blue holes continually along the creek on the walk up which have just as captivating back drops, from the large trees old trees of the Daintree to small shrubbery and ferns. The last kilometer of walking, provides a lot more rock hoping than peacefully walking up the relaxing cool stream. Once at the falls there is a final little scramble up the left hand side on the rocks to get right up to the base of the waterfall.
