There is no better way to explore this mesmerising region then with Discovery Tours Australia! - Superb tour through the fabulous Daintree, covered so much ground in only a single day without missing a thing. Our guide, Steve, was brilliant, enthusiastic, good humoured and incredibly knowledgeable and experienced. Not a tour to miss!

Fabulous trip to the rainforest! - Had a very long and memorable day with James who is a super friendly, funny and knowledgeable guide. We had a multi age, international group on the trip and he attended to the interests of young and old. Felt he knew the route thoroughly and threw in a few bonus stops for great views. We learned a lot from our lunch host and our river guide. We lucked out and even saw a baby croc, a cassowary with a baby and some lovely birds. Thanks to all for a very special day.

Good trip - On time pick up. Lance, our guide, did a great job keeping us on time. This trip is fast paced and you go several places but it is very rushed. We were at Mossman Gorge for maybe a total of 30 mins. The crocodile tour was the longest part at an hour. Very little time in the rainforest so time only to do a very short walk and take a few photos. Personally I think doing away with the ice cream stop and cape tribulation would allow for more time in the other beautiful locations. A shame to go to mossman for half hour only.

Good day but only scratches the surface - One day means a lot of driving and relatively speedy stops. If I were to do again would go for a 2 day tour we didn’t see any of the falls etc. Our tour guide was fabulous though great stories and info and the lunch was truly delicious.

A bumpy ride - The tour was good but Kuranda is better if you can't do both. The road was very bumpy and there were a lot of speed humps, we felt them all. On the walk and river cruise we only saw a lizard, flying foxes and a few bugs so that was disappointing. Our guide was very knowledgeable particularly on the animals and fauna and that made it interesting even though we saw little animal life.

Great guide but very long journeys - A good trip and our guide Loz was great fun. However it's important to note it's a HUGE amount of time in the minibus and very little time in the different locations. It might be better to explore the rainforest yourself if and you'd be able to make more stops and see a bit more. The lunch provided was very tasty.

Rushed - This tour takes you to all the places mentioned. Sadly it doesn’t give you much time at each place. For example at Mossman gorge visitor centre after swimming (for which we were allocated a max of 10 minutes) we were told we had 6 minutes to change and to look around the centre, use the toilet and visit the shop. At the ice-cream stop we could buy but were told to eat the ice creams in the bus to the next stop. At the amazing cape tribulation beach we were given just 15 minutes to walk on the beach, then walk to the lookout point. It meant quite a rush. We paid for the premium tour but seemed to move at the same pace and eat in the same place as the bigger bus tour. Not sure what the ‘premium’ benefit was.
