It is home to some of the most diverse marine life, including the Black Marlin, with color combinations that will astound your eyes. The coral brings additional color to this incredible region and adds to the natural beauty of the setting. There are also many ribbon reefs that are set off the coast that can be seen by low flying plane as well as on one of the many cruises that are offered off the shore. Cape Tribulation is perhaps the best place to truly appreciate the intensity of this natural wonder as it is the only place where the reefs come in toward the shore. A place to come and truly experience some unique sea creatures you will find that you will get to view many salt water crocodiles, dugongs, porpoises, dolphins, whales and sea turtles; some creatures that are found only in this region of the world, such as the Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin and the loggerhead sea turtle.
