Some choose to hire a 4WD and drive themselves, while others prefer to buckle up for some serious sightseeing and let an experienced Cape York tour guide chauffeur their four wheel drive road trip.

While for keen fishermen, divers and those who prefer cabin walls to canvas tents the ideal Cape York adventure combines Cape York flights and cruises with stays in Cape York and Torres Strait Island resorts.

There are several air and sea ports in Cape York and the Torres Strait.  However, some of the most remote and breath taking parts of this region may only be reached by 4WD.  We offer sea/drive and fly/drive Cape York trip packages to ensure you get the best of both worlds.

4WD Hire & Self Drive Trips

Trips to the Daintree and Cape York are sought after by adventurers and four wheel drive enthusiasts from all over the globe.

Cape York tours and 4WD trips are most popular during drier months of May to October as this is outside the monsoon season when rivers rise and some roads become impassable due to heavy rains. 

Some 4WD and fishing enthusiasts prefer to hire a 4WD and explore southern Cape York areas such as the Daintree and Cape Tribulation at their green, glorious best during the monsoon season from November to April. Visit our Cape York Travel page for more information.
