8Cape Tribulation, Australia
Cape Tribulation is wild, raw, and untouched—one of the last places on earth where rainforest meets reef. Yet danger lurks everywhere.
The waters are home to saltwater crocodiles, and the beaches often host box jellyfish, whose sting can be fatal. Even the land is hazardous: venomous snakes and stinging trees can leave travelers wishing they never left their hotel. Its name, given by Captain Cook, still fits perfectly centuries later.
