It is set on Cape York Peninsula amongst World Heritage listed rainforest at the mouth of the Endeavour River, the perfect place for a crocodile encounter.
The town is steeped in history, having provided a safe haven to its namesake, Captain James Cook, when his ship, the Endeavour, sustained damage after striking a reef. Home to around 2,000 people, it is a popular tourist destination, not only because of its many historical landmarks, but also because of the recreational and adventure activities on offer, including deep sea and marlin fishing.
