We Saw Wild Platypus - We were picked up in the afternoon and got to stop and look at Wallabys, and we went to look at the Platypus about an hour before sunset (the peak time to view them). We actually got to see 3 or 4 of them, which are extremely hard to spot (many locals haven’t even seen them). We also saw Flying Foxes, a poisonous caterpillar, and we also saw a few Opossums during our night tour in the jungle.

Brilliant wildlife tour. - Great tour and appears to be timed just right to see nocturnal animals in the wild. Paul was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable. We were fortunate enough to see Platypus swimming and feeding as well as flying foxes and various other local flora and fauna. Visiting the curtain fig at night was quite interesting with Paul pointing out an algae that glows in the dark at the base of the tree. Not something you see on the day tours! Walking along a road winding through the rain forest looking for wild life was fascinating. We were supplied with binoculars for use during the tour as well and shown how to use them properly. Turns out I'd been doing it wrong for years. Who knew!! An added bonus, for me anyway, was being up in the mountains at night and no light pollution when you looked up at the sky you got a spectacular view of the milky way. Overall the tour was one of the best and most informative I've been on. Very impressed. I should also mention that apart from the above the tour bus was comfortable and morning tea and lunch was excellent.

Wonderful Wildlife Walking Tour - Great guide and a really good tour for beginning to explore the wildlife of the Cairns area. Would definitely recommend!!

Rain forest tour with Tree kangaroo, platypus and night view of rainforest life. - What a great trip. Paul knew exactly where to go so we came up close to tree kangaroo, rat kangaroo, platypus and so much more. The night time view of the fig tree just took my breath away. His knowledge was bottomless and the pub dinner in a traditional aussie village was outstanding. Thank you Paul for a memorable time.

Do this tour! - Amazing! Had so much fun, learned so much about the wildlife and plants. Got to see a wild platypus and so much more. Would do this tour again!

A unique experience to explore at night! - This was a wonderful opportunity to experience the rainforest through a guided visit with a guide who is clearly extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his work. He has a gregarious and engaging personality that made time go by quickly. He also has a keen ability to spot animals and point them out to us. All necessary equipment was provided and we were instructed on how to optimally use binoculars. On our day, my impression is that we saw less animals than on his average tours, but it is nature and one cannot go in with specific expectations. We did still see plenty of variety. Being able to explore the forest at night was a very unique experience and the finale was definitely memorable. Dinner was also excellent. Would be happy to recommend!

“Awesome “ - Paul our driver was absolutely fantastic, we saw almost all the animals he promised and even some that we didn’t expect to see. Dinner was sooooo!!!! Good and they gave you more than you can eat. I had the Parmi dinner and would have it again. My group and I highly recommend this tour, beware there is a lot of walking , but well worth it.

Fantastic Night Walk - The evening walk through the forest, seeing nocturnal animals, and the view of the night sky full of stars was an experience I won't forget. The only negative was the trip up and down the mountain on the winding road. I would do this again an again.

amazing guide - paul--the guide--was absolutely incredible! the knowledge he has of the rainforest and it's ecosystem is breathtaking. what a wonderful experience--book this trip!

A Wonderful Afternoon - My husband and I had a wonderful time on this tour! Paul was very friendly and knowledgeable. I was incredibly impressed by how he was able to make the whole group feel comfortable together from the start. His knowledge spans from nature, wildlife, Australian history, and more which he mixes in seamlessly throughout the tour. You learn a lot but it never feels like a lecture. What stood out the most though was his desire to go above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience possible. He took time to teach us how to use our binoculars at the start of the tour. He then kept checking in during the drive up to make sure no one was feeling car sick. We saw the platypus which I thought was fantastic but it since the view was a bit obstructed by a tree limb, Paul brought us back to the area a second time later in the trip. It was during this visit that we were able to really watch the platypus swim/eat. We had a lovely dinner at an Aussie pub and saw lots of animals! If you like wildlife, animals, beautiful light hikes, and learning about the nature and culture you are visiting - you will love this trip as much as we did!
