If you are flying into town see the Cooktown Business Listing for local hire companies. Or search for car rental or minibus hire companies in the Australian Yellow Pages.
If you drive your own car or hire one from one of the many operators around Australia you'll experience a fantastic drive via the coastal road or the inland road. Either choice offers fantastic scenery.

Please be careful on the roads driving to Cooktown.
Look out for cattle crossing - much of the road, although sealed, is unfenced.
