Great day out exploring the Daintree - The whole trip was fantastic, our guide Tony had a great wealth of knowledge and our group consisted of young and old and he was great with all of us. The crocodile spotting was excellent as was swimming in the Daintree river.

Pure Magic - Absolute must to experience. This was a fantastic day out, well co ordinated and our guide Gavin was the best and most knowledgeable guide I have met any where in my many trips in many countries. He gave a sincere insight to the rain forest, great barrier reef, the people who call this place home and the animal and wild life that live here. I could feel the power and the history, this is a very special place and a privilege to be able to experience, it all

Best bang for your bucks in Cairns - We took the Daintree Rainforest 4WD Tour, which also included the Mossman Gorge & Cape Tribulation with Billy Tea Safaris. Our guide, Gavin, was very knowledgeable and succeeded in creating a magical atmosphere during the 10h of the tour. Every question about plants, animals, and arboriginal culture was answered with passion and a smile. He sometimes surprises us singing at the didgeridoo, so the immersion was complete. We appreciated the well planned tour with thouthfull breaks to keep you interested and alert. From seeing crocodiles on the river or cassowarries on the road to a walk and a bath in the magical rainforest, even getting an original ice cream at the end of the tour, everything was perfect. If you wonder what more can you ask for? Maybe a generous lunch? Oh, that was already in the program 😀.

Wish there was more time in the day - The driver G greeted us with a friendly smile. His commentary was both informative and entertaining. The stops showed great aspects of the area. If only there were more hours in the day.

Fabulous day in the rainforest and mangroves - This was a fabulous way to spend a day exploring Daintree forest and Cape Tribulation. Tony (Gavin!) is a brilliant guide and knew an amazing amount about the area, its flora and fauna. Every part of the trip was splendid. Thank you Billy Tea 😎

Billy Tea-riffic Day - We signed up on the Billy Tea Rainforest and Cape Tribulation tour off the advice of our hotel and we are very glad we did and feel that the company's reputation is well deserved. We were given clear advice on the when's/where's, what to bring and what to expect and it meant that we had no issues at all on a hugely impressive day. There is a fair bit of driving involved, which I see some other reviewers took some umbrage with... frankly I don't know what they expected, given the distances and the challenges of getting from A to B on the bumpy roads in the middle of a rainforest. The fact is that a) the minivan is both comfortable, fit with aircon and has windows that you can look out of and b) that the tour guide gives an interesting and insightful explanation as we go meant that it didn't feel like a long trip at all. My wife and I enjoyed the travel as a characteristic of the day, as opposed to something to be endured. For my part, the highlight was the rainforest walk as this made fascinating by the tour and explanation. This only just beat a very pleasant lunch at a lodge in the middle of a rainforest (followed by a swim in a creek with water so transparent it was almost invisible), which was a close second. That said, there were so many highlights - Cape Tribulation being one, and the boat tour and accommodating crocs being another - that it seems unfair to try and rank them. We got plenty of amazing photos and both agreed it was time and money well spent and everything the advert promised. A tour is always only as good as the tour guide and we were fantastically well looked after by Rowan and his guide-in-training Carl/Kyle (forgive me, I should have made a note at the time). They were both extremely welcoming, chatty and friendly and always made sure we knew what we needed to know and rewarded any questions with an insightful answer. They were the primary factor that made a good day into a great one. My biggest regret of the day is that I had no cash to buy them a beer as they went home late due to a car accident that had caused some traffic. While we floated down the river, they seamlessly sorted an alternative plan for the day and, rather than sacrifice any element of the tour, they went home late to ensure we did everything. Thanks guys! All in all, I'd recommend the experience for anyone wanting to fit a full range of sights into a single day and will definitely be booking with Billy Tea again if the opportunity presents it.
