We crossed the Daintree river and had a delicious morning tea of scones and jam in the Rainforest. Climbing the Bloomfield track in the 4WD was a highlight! We also stopped at the historic Lions Den hotel for a drink and had a photo opportunity at Black Mountain. Cooktown itself is a beautiful quiet town with a lovely lookout at Grassy Hill. I would definitely suggest staying overnight so you can enjoy the Sunset Cruise and explore some more of Cooktown the following day.
