Getting There
-
Car
If you're traveling by car, start from the main area of Cape Tribulation. Head north on the Cape Tribulation Road, which is the only road leading out of the village. Continue for approximately 5 kilometers until you reach the Mount Sorrow trailhead on your left. There is a small parking area where you can leave your vehicle. Please note that parking is limited, so it is advisable to arrive early.
-
Walking
Once you have parked your car at the trailhead, follow the well-marked walking trail that leads to the summit of Mount Sorrow. The hike is approximately 2.5 kilometers each way and is considered moderately challenging. Be prepared for steep sections and ensure you have proper footwear. The trail can be wet and slippery, so take caution, especially during or after rain.
-
Public Transportation
If you are using public transportation, check local bus services such as the 'Cape Tribulation Shuttle' which runs from Port Douglas to Cape Tribulation. Once you arrive in Cape Tribulation, you may need to arrange a taxi or shuttle service to take you to the Mount Sorrow trailhead, as public transportation does not go directly to the trailhead.
-
Guided Tour
Consider booking a guided tour that includes Mount Sorrow in their itinerary. Many tour operators in Cape Tribulation offer packages that include transportation to the trailhead, a guided hike, and necessary equipment. This can be a convenient option if you prefer not to drive or navigate the trail on your own.
