About The Half Day Waterfall 4wd Safari

We use modern Toyota Landcruiser Four Wheel Drive Diesel vehicles which are air conditioned and fully equipped to handle the rugged off road conditions experienced on the famous Bloomfield Track.

Vehicle seating for off road 4WD tours is always a compromise and we accurately describe our seats as similar to economy airline in size with all seats facing to the front of the vehicle.

We operate with full Department of Transport Accreditation. All our drivers have current DOT Authorization. The Tours also have a Department of Natural Resources permit for Woobadda River and Bloomfield Falls and a National Park Permit for Emmagen Valley.
All our drivers have completed Government Approved 4WD Training. The Tours also have all relevant National Parks Permits.

If you are an experienced 4wd driver - you know that driving a four wheel drive vehicle in rough terrain takes a great deal of attention and you miss out on experiencing the surrounding scenery. Mason's Tours take the worry out of driving your own vehicle as well as saving the wear and tear, especially over the remote Bloomfield Track.

As part of all our 4wd tours Walker Family Tours conduct a 30 minute guided walk at Bloomfield Falls where you will learn about Aboriginal history and the culture of Australia's Indigenous people.
The Bloomfield Falls is the traditional home of the Kuku Yalanji people who have lived in the area for tens of thousands of years. The Walker Family are members of the Yalanji community and their connection with the Bloomfield Falls and the surrounding land is one of deep significance. It is a wonderful, intimate encounter with Aboriginal Australia.

The Full Day Cooktown 4WD Safari

Go off-road with us to Cooktown via the famous Bloomfield Track, well known since Council Bulldozers pushed it through the Daintree Rainforest in spite of protesters in 1983. The Bloomfield Track starts just north of Cape Tribulation, which is itself 36 kilometres north of the Daintree River in Far North Queensland, Australia.

The track continues for 32 kilometres through rugged terrain to the Bloomfield River, and from there we continue through the aboriginal town of Wujal Wujal and on through Bloomfield. We pass through the Cedar Bay National Park, Rossville and Helensvale before our noon arrival in Cooktown.

We carry a number of publications about the history of Cooktown and these can be used as reference for those who have particular historical interest. ‘Pubs and Publicans of Cooktown’ is always popular!
