Top Reviews 2022

“A wonderful experience and tour. Everything is well thought out and it all runs so smoothly. Joe and Kody our guides were professional, knowledgeable and very friendly. They made the trip so enjoyable. We are asked to choose a highlight, but everyday had a new one. If you like the great outdoors then don’t hesitate to book your tour with Cockatours. The tour is excellent value and you won’t be disappointed.” Charlene, 2022

“Rossy takes so much care to ensure you are going to have a great trip! I went to Cape York on the MAN truck with Joe and Kody and you can just tell that Rossy chooses his guides and cooks with such thought and care to know you will have a great time! Yes it is real camping, yes there are mattresses and good linen, yes they really do have everything on the truck! Highly recommend pre-buying the souvenir shirt, they keep you warm in the water and cool in the sun!” Catherine, 2022

“A trip to The Tip with the amazing Joe and Kody was definitely a life changing and very memorable experience. They were fun, knowledgeable guys who made every day exciting and different to all the other days. Joe handled the 12-ton truck admirably, so that, coupled with his knowledge of the tricky road conditions and the comfort of the truck, made our travel something we could eagerly anticipate each time we boarded. Kody’s main role was to cook our meals, which he did superbly. Each meal was delicious, different every day, and served hot and plentifully. But he also took great care of us in many other ways, and had a fantastic sense of humour. Nothing was too much trouble for these chaps and they made every day a true delight.

The trip itself was superb. I’m sure we saw many sights, and heard much information that other travellers might not, especially if they did the trip on their own. I can’t recommend Cockatours highly enough and have put my name on the wait list for next year’s Gulf Savannah trip. There were too many exceptional experiences and places visited to pick a favourite, so I’d prefer to leave that for future travellers to discover for themselves.” Brodwyn, 2022

Explore a pristine tropical wilderness en route to the tip of Australia

About cape york.

Bordered by the Gulf of Carpentaria and the Coral Sea, Cape York Peninsula is an untouched wilderness dominated by mighty meandering rivers and vast flood plains. It’s the place where you can stand on the very tip of the Australian continent, discover the oldest rainforest in the world, and travel deep into wild frontier country.

Connected to New Guinea for much of the past 250,000 years, the repeated interchange of flora and fauna has bequeathed a rich biological legacy on Cape York Peninsula. Nowhere is this more evident than the Wenlock River, home to more freshwater fish species than any other river in Australia. You’ll also learn about the Cape’s incredible biological diversity at Piccaninny Plains, an AWC Sanctuary.

Cape york tours gallery.

Travelling alone through Queensland, I decided to experience Cape York. I was reluctant to risk it alone, so a tag-along tour sounded like a good idea. Dale suggested I could ride-along in their vehicle, which made a lot more sense!

The trip was well organised, the like-minded company was great, and the adventure memorable. Everyone was very well looked after and the facilities certainly adequate. I was sorry to see the trip end!

The ride-along option was perfect for me, to be able to enjoy the scenery, go to beautiful out-of-the-way places and camp without any hassles.

The vehicles were comfortable and obviously suited for the sometimes rough terrain. The tents and bedding were quite luxurious -- much more comfortable than I'd expected, and the trailer was a work of art -- so well thought out and practical.

Dale and Bones were terrific. They were thoughtful, helpful, efficient, and very patient. They managed to appear relaxed while ensuring that the tour ran smoothly. When difficulties arose Dale always had a Plan B (and maybe even C & D) and things got sorted without any fuss.

Dale took us to places I would otherwise have missed seeing, and his love of the Cape was infectious. His stories about camping with family and friends made the whole experience very special.

Dear Cape York Guided Tours

Thank You for giving us lifetime memories of our trip to the Cape York Peninsula.  We had an absolutely fabulous experience with both Dale and Max looking after us and treating us with the best that Cape York had to offer.

We wish all of you the very best in your venture.

Fantastic way to see Cape York.  Some great company and amazing places to see.  A true camp experience without the hassle of setting up camp! Not to mention the delicious food to go with it.  Would recommend to anyone looking to enjoy the full CYGT Adventure.

Joe (Google review) 

We chose the Ride Along 12 day Cape York Tour as we are inexperienced at 4 wheel driving and the old telegraph track would be beyond us.  Dale & Max live and breathe the Cape and shared their knowledge and experiences with us.

The trip was well organised and the camp oven meals were delicious and varied.  We would highly recommend this guided tour to anyone who has doubts of conquering the Cape by themselves. 

Laurelle & Brian Mossop (Google Review)

Google Review from Leigh & Wayne, VIC. My husband and I have just returned from an absolutely wonderful 12 days with Cape York Guided tours. We went as ride alongs and could not have envisaged such a great trip. Dale and Bones are fantastic guides and we were also fortunate to have Renae on the trip as well. Food was great, sites visited were great, recommended tours were wonderful and the people in our group were fantastic. Highly recommend this tour. Excellent value for money and the tents were perfect with very comfortable queen beds to sleep.

Hannah Statham

Where else but Cape York can you stand on the tip of Australia, discover one of the world’s oldest rainforests in the world and travel on roads few even dare to tread? Just because Australia’s last frontier is calling, doesn’t mean you need to travel it alone.

For the adventure of a lifetime, without any of the ‘going solo’ stress, join one of these guided Cape York tours.

The tip of Australia, Cape York, needs very little introduction for those who live and breathe rugged adventure. It’s big, it’s wild and it’s ripe for exploring – but it also needs serious preparation if you’re thinking of driving it solo. While it’s long been said a sense of adventure is the best packing essential for the northern neck of Australia, if you opt for an all-inclusive guided tour, aside from your clothes, there’s actually not that much more to take.

Save the hours of detailed planning, itinerary coordinating, and stress of driving and let a Cape York tour take care of the rest. All that’s left to do is sit back and watch the landscape ebb and flow between cattle stations, World Heritage-listed rainforest, wetlands, towering termite mounds and pristine beaches to name a few.

Fruit Bat Falls, Apudthama National Park (Jardine River)

Explore the natural colour contrasts of Cape York with Cockatours , who lead a 15-day camping and 4WD expedition to the tip. With an itinerary designed to ensure your sightseeing is savoured rather than skulled, Cockatours will have you exploring the best of Cape York’s landscape, Indigenous history and seriously wild, wildlife (think: crocodiles and carnivorous plants).

With three Cape York tours to choose from, including one that’s entirely dedicated to those under 45 years of age, you’ll want to book in fast because they’ve sold out the last three years running. Led by an ecologist who specialises in Cape York, this is an all-inclusive trip where you’ll be immersed day and night (read: camping) amongst the iconic landscape.

Far North Escapes

Old Telegraph Track

If you’ve been spending too much time in peak hour traffic, it’s time to replace it with a road trip to remember, joining Far North Escapes for their nine or 12-day, small format, Cape York Tour. Either duration you choose, you’ll discover the tip of Australia in private 4WD vehicles, which seats a maximum of six guests.

With privacy on your side, you can expect to tick off your Cape York bucket list, the tip of Australia, Old Telegraph Track, Thursday Island and Daintree Rainforest – without compromising the serenity with even so much as the crowds from your own tour bus. The premise of this tour is built around flexibility – to ensure you are exploring the real Cape York – a destination famous for being off the beaten tourist track.

Australian 4WD Adventures

Musgrave Station

If being passenger doesn’t feel the same as hopping behind the wheel, join Australian 4WD Adventures , for a tag along tour to the top. You don’t need to talk the 4WD torque to join, so long as you’re a confident and competent driver, your hosts will teach you the rest in their fleet of customised rigs – built to best the Cape.

You’ll be given the keys to a ‘beast’, a Nissan GU Patrol, which have been workshopped for what Cape York’s tracks throw at you – river crossings, vertical drops and corrugations that show you what suspension is all about. Put tyres to the not-so tarmac of some of Cape York’s toughest tracks, including Old Telegraph Track, Frenchman’s Track, the 5 Beaches Track and Bloomfield Track. Your experienced hosts will take care of most things, including all your camping equipment across their tour which runs in a nine-day fly/drive combination or 16-day all-drive itinerary.

Cape York Motorcycle Adventures

Nestled in the Barron River area, just a hop, skip, and a jump north of Cairns Airport, Cape York Motorcycle Adventures is the go-to for fully guided tours to the awe-inspiring remote regions of Cape York Peninsula.

They take motorcycle touring to a whole new level of adventure in the stunning Far North Queensland. As the crème de la crème of motorcycle tour operators in Australia, Cape York Motorcycle Adventures leaves nothing to chance, boasting cutting-edge motorcycle and telecommunication technology, and guides who are first aid qualified. Join them for a wild ride you won’t soon forget!

Discovery Tours

Horn Island

Short on time, but long for the big Cape York experience? Enter Discovery Tours Australia fly-drive tour, which sees you driving one way, 1200km, from Cairns to Cape York and flying back. The nine-day, all-inclusive Cape York tour package, covers the showreel of Cape York highlights including Daintree Rainforest, Lockhart River, Tip of Australia and crossing between the Cape and Thursday Island.

With space for only six guests, look forward to a premium touring experience, honed by a team who have more than 30 years’ experience on the Cape. Your tour price is all inclusive, covering all meals and accommodation – no swags or camping here.

Rev your way to Cape York with Cape York Motorcycle Adventures

If you thought Cape York was best explored on four wheels, wait ‘til you see how it’s done on two. The original motorcycle tour guide to the cape, Cape York Motorcycle Adventures , will take you through the best off-road trails the Peninsula has to offer. No experience is required for this dirt bike adventure that will take you from Cairns to the top end, in six or seven days. While other Cape York tours in this list promise comfort, this one stands out with a guarantee of a bumpy ride. Action-packed and proud of it – there’s a reason this all-inclusive, dirt bike tour sells out so fast.

Riders can delight in covering just about every type of terrain – from shale and red clay flats, deep gullies and washouts, creek crossings, grasslands, wetlands, coastal estuaries and mudflats. Just when you thought it was all dirty work – don’t worry, the itinerary is peppered with swims in freshwater swimming holes and waterfalls in between. You’re in for a wheelie good time if the slew of five-star customer reviews are anything to go by.

Outback Spirit Tours

Wujal Wujal (Bloomfield) Falls

Running tours for more than two decades to Cape York, Outback Spirit Tours has honed its Cape York offering. With more two-night stays than any other tour to the region, you’re guaranteed the downtime to actually enjoy the spoils of Cape York, rather than feel like you’re in the car rushing to get to the top. This pace is important to immerse yourself in the wonder of the Cape. Take the Wenlock River for instance, which is home to more freshwater fish species than any other river in Australia.

Considering this tour spends its nights in hotel and lodge style accommodation – you’ll welcome the change of pace from the corrugations The Cape is so renowned. Across 13 days you’ll spend your time navigating north from Cairns to Pajinka, the northernmost tip of the mainland, before flying home from Horn Island to Cairns. With a group size of a maximum 20 people, you’re certain to leave with great memories and new friends.

Rinyirru (Lakefield) National Park

With 100 years of adventuring on their side, AAT Kings know a thing or two about running memorable tours. Their Cape York Frontier coach tour connects Cairns and Cape York in seven days of scenic touring through World Heritage listed Daintree rainforest, iconic outback scenery before finishing in the Torres Strait Islands.

Tick off the best of the Cape, with visits to the mining town of Weipa, a stay on a 325,932-acre working cattle station (Bramwell Station), before waving goodbye to the mainland altogether with trips to Thursday and Horn Islands. Expect to be fully accommodated (no camping here!) in a range of hotel, motel and holiday park style rooms. While you’ll only drive one way, you can enjoy a scenic flight over the Great Barrier Reef back to Cairns from Horn Island.

Cape York Guided Tours

The Tip of Australia

Got your own wheels, keen to drive but prefer to outsource the itinerary creation to someone who knows Cape York without needing to consult a map? Enter Cape York Guided Tours , who make short work of navigating the 207,000 square kilometre Cape York Peninsula – aka a geographical area that’s seven times the size of Belgium.

You bring the wheels, and they plan the trip, tagalong style, or you can join as a passenger for a ride-along guided tour. With tour vehicles and all the safety assurances, you can drive this rugged landscape with peace of mind knowing there’s a car in the lead and one in the rear of the group – no one gets left behind.

The 18-day Cape York tour is on the adventure end of the Cape York spectrum, with a mixture of accommodation in Campgrounds, National Parks and Bush Camps.

These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.

This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.

Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.

If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email

Screen-reader and keyboard navigation

Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:

Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.

These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.

Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.

Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

• ADHD Friendly Mode: this mode helps users with ADHD and Neurodevelopmental disorders to read, browse, and focus on the main website elements more easily while significantly reducing distractions.
• Blindness Mode: this mode configures the website to be compatible with screen-readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. A screen-reader is software for blind users that is installed on a computer and smartphone, and websites must be compatible with it.

GENERAL ‍ Safari vs. Premium Cape York Tours – what’s the difference?

‍ PREMIUM: Premium Tours are designed for those who want the entire Trip to the Tip to bean experience. We have cherry-picked the best accommodation options for our guests in each area to ensure you start and finish each day in comfort. Cape York is incredibly remote and undeveloped so true ‘luxury’ accommodation simply does not exist, however you will have air conditioning, your own ensuite, clean, comfy private accommodation to the best standard available. Premium Tours are capped at a total of 10 passengers to ensure you have an immersive experience. Our Premium tours are hosted in our Fleet, fresh off the showroom floor: our 79 Series LandCruiser, and 300 Series LandCruiser. A Scenic Helicopter Flight over Pajinka “The Tip” is included for all Premium Tour guests. SAFARI: Our Safari Clients will be travelling in a FUSO Canter 4x4 Truck, as opposed to LandCruisers. Safari departures operate in conjunction with our Tag-a-long tours, so whilst there are only 6 passengers in your Fuso Canter 4x4Truck, you will have a small convoy of up to 5 additional (client owned) vehicles travelling as a part of your group. Safari accommodation is basic, clean, comfy and well appointed – however it is basic. This is reflected in your total trip cost. Safaris are designed for those who are on tour for the experience and adventure and don’t mind compromising on creature-comforts along the way to get the most bang for their buck. The Scenic Heli Flight over Pajinka “The Tip” is not included on Safari Tours, however can be added on as an optional extra. ‍

Group Sizes & Vehicle Allocation  

‍ We have a strong focus on client experience, and as such our groups are small in size. We want to give you the best, most immersive experience and that just cannot be delivered with large group touring. We have capped our numbers for this reason. The tour you have booked will determine the vehicle you are travelling in and your group size. PREMIUM: 79 Series LandCruiser – 4 Passengers PREMIUM: 300 Series LandCruiser – 6 Passengers Premium tours operate with a maximum of 2 vehicles, and 10 passengers per departure. SAFARI: Fuso Canter 4x4 Truck – 6 Passengers Although Safari Tours only have 6 passengers in the vehicle, these tours operate alongside our “Tag-a-long Tours”, which can a convoy of up to 5additional (client owned) vehicles travelling as a group.

Age limits and physical fitness

We have had young families on tours, and clients in their 90s. When completing the Medical Waiver Form, it is the guests responsibility to ensure their health and physical fitness is of a reasonable level and they have disclosed any ailments that are of concern.

Bread and bagels at The Works Cafe in downtown Portland. Photo by Aimsel Ponti

From New York-style boiled bagels to Montreal-inspired wood-fired ones, there’s lots of great bagels in southern Maine and several shops have the accolades to back that up.

In 2023, Bon Appetit named bagels from Rose Foods and Rover Bagel among the best in the country.

Two years before that,  Food & Wine Magazine put Rover, Forage and Scratch Baking Co. on its list of best bagels in the U.S.

Whether you like yours toasted with cream cheese or as the bread for your breakfast sandwich, you can find plenty of styles and flavors from Biddeford to Brunswick.

BEACH BAGELS

The offerings at Beach Bagels include a French toast and marble bagel, and the cream cheese menu comprises spreads like strawberry, olive and honey walnut. Along with breakfast sandwiches, Beach Bagels has hearty breakfast options like omelets and pancakes. Best of all, you’re steps away from a beach stroll. Just don’t let the seagulls steal your bagel.

WHEN: 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily WHERE: 34 Old Orchard St., Old Orchard Beach. beachbagels.yolasite.com ______________

Dutchman’s opened in 2022 as a pop-up housed at Nomad pizza in Brunswick’s Fort Andross building. It’s since become a permanent fixture there and uses the pizzeria’s wood-fired ovens to bake its bagels. The hand-shaped, honey-boiled bagels come in plain, roasted garlic, poppy and a bagel-of-the-day flavor.

WHEN: 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday to Sunday WHERE: Fort Andross, 14 Maine St., Brunswick. dutchmans.me ______________

FORAGE MARKET

Making bagels at Forage Market involves a two-day aging process. The bagels are naturally leavened with wild yeast starter and baked next to a hardwood fire. There are usually five flavors available, including sesame and garlic. Breakfast sandwiches (including vegan options) are available. Forage also has a location in Lewiston. Advertisement

WHEN: 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday and Sunday WHERE: 123 Washington Ave., Portland. foragemarket.com _____________

MISTER BAGEL

There are 10 or so Mister Bagel locations in Maine, including South Portland and Falmouth. It all began with the Portland location, which was the first bagel shop to open in Maine. The late Rick Hartglass started Mister Bagel in 1977, and it is still a family business. Music fans will appreciate the breakfast sandwich menu, which includes The David Bowie (bacon, egg and American cheese), the Jimmy Buffett (egg with roast beef and cheddar) and The Lady Gaga (avocado, salt and pepper, with or without egg).

WHEN: 6:30 a.m. to noon Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to noon Saturday and Sunday WHERE: 599 Forest Ave., Portland. misterbagelforestave.com ______________

At Rose Foods, the menu varies depending on the day, but there are usually six to eight flavors available. For example, should you pop in on a Friday, you’ll find a poppy and onion bialy (a cousin of the bagel that is not boiled). Rose Foods also makes a number of bagel sandwiches, including the Classic Nova with Nova lox and the Classic Whitefish. Advertisement

WHEN: 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily WHERE: 428 Forest Ave., Portland. rosefoods.me

ROVER BAGEL

At Rover Bagel, you’ll find wood-fired plain, poppy, sea salt, sesame and everything bagels available most of the time, and the spread game here is strong with cream cheese options like lemon-thyme-honey cream and chili-garlic.

WHEN: 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, 8 a.m. to noon Sunday WHERE: 10 West Point Lane Suite 10-204, Biddeford (Pepperell Mill). roverbagel.com

SCRATCH BAKING CO.

You haven’t lived until you’ve experienced the line of devoted fans waiting for Scratch Baking Co. to open, especially on weekend mornings. Along with the popular Maine sea salt, plain and other everyday flavors, Scratch has a daily special bagel. There’s honeyed rosemary on Wednesday and jalapeno cheddar on Thursday. Scratch is also famous, at least to locals, for its P-Cheese spread. It’s a pimento cheese recipe made with cheddar, mayo, roasted red peppers and seasoning and was passed down to co-owner and head baker Allison Reid by her grandmother, Mern.

WHEN: 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday to Saturday, 7 a.m. to noon Sunday WHERE: 416 Preble St., South Portland. scratchbakingco.com ___________

THE MAINE BAGEL

The Maine Bagel is a drive-thru with several breakfast and other kinds of sandwiches available. With a bagel list that features egg and bialy among the standards, the family-owned spot is the perfect place to stop on your way to Pine Point Beach. The Maine Bagel really shines with a dozen kinds of cream cheese spreads, including raisin-walnut, lox, strawberry, cranberry-nut and bacon-chive.

WHEN: 6:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday to Friday, 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. WHERE: 117 Route 1, Scarborough. themainebagel.com Advertisement

THE WORKS CAFE

The Works Cafe is an institution on the edge of the Portland’s Old Port. It opened in 1990 as Bagel Works before it changed its name in 2002. The original shop in this regional chain opened in Manchester, Vermont, in 1988, and there are 11 locations around New England, though just the one in Maine. Gone are the ’90s-era banana-walnut bagels and cold pizza cream cheese, but The Works Cafe is still a reliable place to grab a salt, multigrain or cinnamon raisin bagel, among others. The menu also has bowls, sandwiches and smoothies.

WHEN: 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily WHERE: 15 Temple St., Portland. workscafe.com
