Brilliant brilliant day out in the wet season - Andy our guide was so clear and knowledgable , we saw a cassowary and a saltie. The drive up the coast is stunning, the organisation of the day is great and easy. Andy showed us so many cool bugs and plants and delivered on the mega fauna . Take a poncho or prepare to get wet - we loved getting soaked in a prehistoric rainforest . A totally top day out

Come for the rainforest stay for the jungle cruise - Had a fantastic time on the Daintree Rainforest & Cape Tribulation Tour! Our guide, Steve, was incredibly knowledgeable, providing a great mix of history, ecology, and local stories that added so much to the experience. The walking tours were short, manageable, and enjoyable—perfect given the heat and humidity.
The crocodile boat tour was like a real-life “Jungle Cruise” (minus the backside of water!), and the boat pilot was quite the entertainer—though maybe don’t ask too many questions! Lunch was delicious, and the staff were very accommodating.
It was fascinating to experience both sides of the Daintree Rainforest, with the old-school ferry crossing adding to the adventure. Mossman Gorge has improved significantly since my last visit 12 years ago, and the overall tour was well-paced with plenty of bathroom breaks. Be prepared to get wet, but the provided golf umbrellas were a great touch. Highly recommend this tour!

Fabulous day with Gavin - The day was extremely enjoyable. Our guide, Gavin, was knowledgeable and passionate about the area. He made a long day zip past. I would like to say how the day could be shortened but don’t take anything away. We saw crocodiles and all sorts of flora and fauna. Highly recommend.

Daintree Safari - Dan our guide was very informative. If you are interested in the rain forest, this tour is ideal.
The tour includes a river cruise where we managed to see a crocodile.
Lunch was also included which was of a high standard

Exceptionally bumpy ride; but great tour - Take a regular van if you can. This ride is bumpy, bumpy, bumpy for almost 3 hrs each way. Avoid the 4-wheel drive. Otherwise, excellent trip. Driver very knowledgeable and could find the smallest creature in the woods. Stops along the way for scenic stops or ice cream (provided and good) to make sure you get out of the vehicle and walk around. The river trip is wonderful - very relaxing and calm, even if you see no crocs. The hike in the Daintree rain forest was delightful (we chose this tour due the fact it said a 45 min to one hour hike - which was true). Lunch was good. If you want to swim, recommend you wear your swimsuit to save time and then can change out of it, or else eat lunch super fast - otherwise, only about 10 -15 minutes to swim. Water very refreshing! Great tour except for bumpy ride!

Unimpressive and overpriced - Way too much time on a bus. Crocodile tour is unimpressive and river is brown and muddy. You have to wait while they go around and pick everyone up from different hotels. You have no idea how long you have to wait and if you try to call and check, they don't pick up the phone. You're just a sitting duck and if they miss you or you're not in the right spot, they'll leave you and not give you a refund.

Extremely boring day - Our tour guide from England was so boring and nasal that we lost him after 10 minutes , and we had to go for 10 hours!! Great as a driver or history teacher, but you book this tour for animals and plants and the surroundings. drama!!
