Cape York Tours 2026 | Guided 4WD Tours to The Tip

Cape York is Australia’s last great frontier, a rugged and remote region where the rainforest meets the reef and red-dirt tracks lead to one of the most iconic travel milestones - “The Tip” of Australia. A Cape York tour is the easiest and safest way to experience this wild, beautiful landscape. From 5 to 15 day 4WD expeditions to shorter Fly/Drive packages, our tours operate during the dry season (May to September) and are led by experienced guides who know every crossing, every waterfall, and every story along the way.
