Amazing day with excellent tourguide! - We had an amazing day with our tourguide Darryl! He was able to tell us lots of information about the area, culture and history. On the way back, he even drove us through Palm Cove and Port Douglas and gave us several recommandations about do's and dont's. We definitely recommend this tour!

Fantastic trip - Fantastic updates and info prior to trip. Prompt pick up. Our driver/guide, was Lawrence, who was upbeat, funny and knowledgeable throughout the day. He got us to places before others it seemed, so never felt pressured. Loved the gorge, daintree village and cape tribulation. A long day, with lots of driving, but well worth the effort. And we saw a wild cassowary! Highly recommend- thanks Lawrence!

Great Guide Daryl! - Daryl was great, hilarious and very knowledgeable. He accommodated my dietary allergies very kindly and discreetly. Great trip. Makes for a long day so catch a snooze on the way back to your hotel. Stunning locations and plenty of good photo opportunities!

A must do excursion for Cairns. - Definitely something to add to your visit to Cairns (though it was a long day). We were picked up promptly at our hotel by our guide, Darrell who entertained us throughout the trip with knowledgeable information and anecdotes on the area and sites we visited. I’m glad we went with the small group option as our guide was able to spend more time with us individually plus we got to meet our fellow travellers in a more intimate setting. The lunch at the Daintree Tree House was absolutely incredible and on par with many five star gourmet restaurants. I had a beautifully grilled kangaroo steak and my husband had a very tasty barramundi - both dishes were accompanied by a rainbow of local fruits which our host, Richard, went through in detail. The swim in Mossman Gorge was refreshing and the cruise on the Daintree River was fun as Jed helped us in tracking down several crocodiles - including Scarface! The one blip was Cape Tribulation as we were only able to check out the beach as the trail was closed. One tip - buyTWO ice creams at the Daintree Ice Cream shop. They’re delectable and you’ll want seconds!

Good day around Daintree - Really nice tour of the national park and different beaches. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and provided a lot of commentary during both ways which made the tour quite rich in terms of content (even though some breaks to rest sometimes would have been needed).

Cape Tribulation/Daintree tour - Great full-day tour! Our guide, Jim, was awesome! Jim was knowledgeable, energetic and kept us right on schedule. The lookouts and beaches were beautiful! The lunch was delicious. Try the kangaroo! You will not be disappointed and I don’t eat beef! The restaurant owner gave an informative, quick talk on all the many fruits that were served with lunch. Would do this tour again and would definitely request Jim, bad jokes and all! Remember to ask Jim to play the song about all the outdoor dangers of Australia!

A very long bus ride - Spend over 90% of the time on the bus. And when we did get out it was rushed. The tour guide was very knowledgeable but we did not pay for just the bus ride. Would have preferred a much much longer time walking through the rainforest instead of zipping past it in a bus..
