Bloomfield Lodge is beautifully remote. Perched on the southern side of the Bloomfield River estuary, and surrounded by the rainforests of Cape Tribulation National Park, the lodge is accessible only by sea and its 17 exclusive rooms ensure your privacy amongst the surrounding rainforest. North Queensland harbours the very last of Australia’s tropical rainforests. They represent a unique natural spectacle, the only place in the world where rainforest actually meets reef, as the rugged slopes of the Great Dividing Range drop steeply from the cool heights of the Tablelands to the coastal beaches and the Great Barrier Reef. A World Heritage site since 1985, the rainforests provide visitors with the opportunity to see wildlife and habitat more akin to the forests of Papua New Guinea than Australia. The Bloomfield river, lined with mangroves and rainforest, is ideal habitat for estuarine crocodiles, which are often viewed (in safety from the lodge boat!) basking on the riverbank. This is also an excellent trip for spotting a huge variety of rainforest bird species, waders and Ospreys, Kingfishers, Sea Eagles, to name a few.
