Great tour! - Our family of three had a great day with our wonderful guide, Mario. The day was packed and we returned to our hotel tired but happy. Our ten year old was a little bored during the longer driving portions, so plan accordingly. The food that was included was good and the icecream stop was nice. The national parks were gorgeous. I would recommend this tour.

A super experience day in the Daintree Rainforests! - outstanding day out with breathtaking nature in the great Australian Daintree Rainforests and Mossman Gorge. Steve was a superb guide who made sure everyone in the group of 11 - with people from four different countries - had a great time, stretching extra to add special walks and experiences, telling stories, and even playing great from his Spotify somglist! All in all, long - 7 am to 7 pm hotel to hotel - but very fulfilling day with great learning on trees and nature for us and our 10-year old, great views, great Crocs sightings, and super food!

Small group tour with a well planned (tight) schedule and passionate guides! - Esther was an amazing tour guide to have! Passionate, knowledgeable, and full of energy all throughout the day. Great tour to book if you prefer to travel in smaller groups (around 14 people). Schedule is tight, but you definitely get to see the most impressive parts of Daintree Forest. Glad we booked this tour out of the many options out there

Northern Qld World Heritage Sites… - The tour was fantastic led by Adrian today on 25 June 2025. We visited all the above World Heritage Sites and adequate time was spent there before wonderful meal breaks. The competent driver made sure we reached our destinations safely. Yes we saw some incredible sights and seeing crocodiles on the boat trip was amazing sight- unlike seeing them in a zoo prison. I would recommend this wonderful day trip when holidaying in far North Queensland.

Incredible day trip! A million times recommended - Apart from the trip itself having exceeded all the expectations, we were incredibly lucky to have Esther as our guide. Her endless energy, enthusiasm and genuine love for the rainforest made it absolutely unforgettable! We’ve been at all the spots right at the correct moment, crowd-free, enjoying to the fullest! It’s an absolute must to experience in Cairns!

Our guide was truly... - Our guide was truly amazing and the tour overall was great! I’ve taken probably 15 tours through aviator and GetYourGuide and he was my favorite by far, it was awesome!

Long day, lots to see! - Firstly, I need to review the guide, Jim! What a bloke, his knowledge is unparalleled and his approach and sense of humour perfect, he truly made the trip. Now, for the trip! I won't pull any punches, it's a long day. Because you're visiting so much you spend more time traveling than you do exploring, so if you're wanting an excursion where you're exploring more than you are moving, this isn't for you. I didn't mind the travel as I wanted to see as much as I could seems I'm only here for a few days. The itinerary was perfect for me, some stops at look outs, morning tea, a great lunch and some amazing sights, I particularly liked the river cruise. If I had more time, I'd definitely try and do things individually, but if you want to get a few sights ticked off and don't mind a longer day, I'd definitely recommend this. Thanks again, Jim!

Beautiful Rainforest Trip - Stunning views and beautiful places. The trip was a good taster of the places that are north of Cairns but obviously we only had a short time at each place, because of the time constraints. I don't really like rushing, but it was a lot of travel, so I understand why we had to keep moving. I will be back to each of these spots at a later date and I intend to spend more time there to really enjoy them properly. I would probably venture into Mossman Gorge a little later in the year to brave swimming in the icy water when its slightly warmer. The Tour Guide had quite a spark -fun and informative. That was hands down the BEST ice cream I have ever had!
