Cape York waterfall detour 🌴
Cape York sits at the very top of Far North Queensland and is home to the northernmost point of mainland Australia, known as The Tip.
It is famous for red dirt roads, remote beaches, tropical rainforest, river crossings, waterfalls, fishing, camping, WWII history and big 4WD adventures.
One of the best parts of a Cape York trip is visiting Fruit Bat Falls, Elliot Falls and Twin Falls. These crystal clear, spring fed swimming spots are some of the most beautiful stops on the journey north.
Fruit Bat Falls, Elliot Falls and Twin Falls are the only section of the Old Telegraph Track that Adventure Rentals allows, so you can still experience these incredible Cape York waterfalls without missing out.
For a Cairns to Cairns Cape York itinerary, we recommend allowing around 14 to 21 days. This gives you time to travel safely, enjoy the waterfalls, explore the Cape and not feel rushed on remote roads.
Once your vehicle booking is confirmed, our team can assist with suggested itinerary planning, route notes and campsite ideas.
Cape York is wild, remote and unforgettable. Far North Queensland was made for 4WD travel.
