Amazing trip - I really enjoyed this tour! We had a fantastic tour guide that was extremely knowledgeable and told us lots of interesting information about Cairns and nature. He was also very good at looking after us as a group. We got to see many different places on the tour but also had time to rest too. Beautiful locations and the lunch was amazing- got to try lots of different yummy fruit! I recommend this tour :)

Great day trip to the rainforest - Amazing tour. Everything went great - from the pickup at my hostel till the end. The bus was good, I loved that it was a small bus for only 14 people but there was only 8 of us so we had space. The driver and tour guide Jim has also been amazing, from the jokes to so many interesting facts the whole way. The whole plan of the trip was also good and we got to see so much. The included morning coffee and lunch were so delicious. I definitely recommend this tour if you’re in Cairns.

A brilliant day. - We had an excellent time on this tour, and we would thoroughly recommend it to anyone. Despite changes to the planned activities due to storm damage, the itinerary was excellent. All the sites, including the alternative ones, food, river cruise and ice cream, were fantastic. Overall, the day was very well planned. The tour guide, Carston, was very knowledgeable, and the family learnt a huge amount. Just a brilliant day.

Great day out - Good value your to see a snapshot of a few different things. Time to swim in the rainforest if we wanted to. Nice beaches although Cape Tribulation wasn’t on the list today due to all the roadworks after the flooding last year. This was out of the tour operators hands and they had informed us prior to the tour. Modern air conditioned vehicle with comfortable seating. The guides Lance and Jim were informative and funny. Recommend day trip, thank you.

Outstanding day out - We had a wonderful time. The entire experience was fantastic! It started with a personal pick up & welcome from our hotel by our driver & tour guide Steve. His commentary & local knowledge was informative & his presentation was entertaining. The vehicle was comfortable, extremely clean & after each stop Steve swept the sand from the vehicle. Long day but highly recommended. Thanks Steve!

Highly recommend. Well paced day with delicious food stops included. - Highly recommend this all-day tour. We are a couple in our late 30s/early 40s and wanted to see the area without having to rent a car ourselves. This was a great solution. Pick-up and drop off at the hotel in Cairns was super easy. Steve was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable and kept the group's spirits high throughout the day, despite the rainy weather. The morning stop for breakfast was delicious, and lunch was fantastic as well. Overall, the day was paced perfectly with the right amount of breaks and timed allocated at each location.

Breathtaking Drivethrough - We would say the overall experience was so so with some highs and lows. The challenge of this tour is that many spots are packed together and thus, you will feel rushed. The roadwork ( owing to the recent cyclone) will slow you down. However. The drive along the cook highway by the sea is truly amazing. A short stop at the port douglas. Then off to the Mossman village for a tea break. Then was the race against time to get the ferry across the river that carries the vehicles over. We felt the experience was more enjoyable post lunch where we took the boat ride on the daintree river for crocodile viewing and then headed to Mossman gorge for a great walk. The drive back to Cairns was even more beautiful as the sun was setting and the rays of the setting sun just had turned the sea to gold. We were lucky to have a good weather. Also note the van size is quite small so some may find the seating a little cramped.

Doesn't actually visit Cape Tribulation - Just be aware that this tour doesn't NOT include Cape Tribulation as the title says. I originally booked a cheaper tour not including Cape Tribulation, cancelled it and rebooked this tour for that reason. Only to get an email the night before (right after you can't cancel it) to say that due to the cyclone in 2023 we can't visit Cape Tribulation. Sneaky.

It doesn’t worth so many hours by van - The lunch was very good. A tasty fish and many different fruits, that were lately described and explicated by the owner. The van was also quite good and comfortable. The places visited had nothing special. Very few wild life and almost no visit to the famous rainforest of Daintree. Quite disappointing
