Amazing Guide - Amazing Experience - Darren was a remarkable guide. We explored the Daintree rainforest with him in September 2022. He was extremely informative and really brought the intricacies and history of the rainforest alive. He was also a fascinating conversation partner. He was flexible in terms of timing and good natured to a tee. We would recommend Darren unreservedly for any tour you'd wish to take.

Best time in Cairns - Darrin was amazing. We are a family of 6 the kids ages are 2-16 which means a variety of issues and requests, and Darrin did all he could to make everyone happy: wildlife, Rainforest walk, swim in nature, amazing scenery views etc. You name it in Darrin will do what he can to fulfill your dreams (unless nature says otherwise like like my hope to see tree kangaroo) As my kids said: this day was the top of our vacation in Australia. Moreover Darrin is a pleasant man to talk with. If you want to upgrade your time in Cairns, book with Darrin, you won't regret it.

Amazing way to see some beautiful nature in the Tablelands - We had an amazing one-day tour of the Tablelands with our guide, Darrin. Such a friendly, helpful and knowledgeable bloke: we had a fantastic time. We saw so much in one day - amazing value for money. Darrin was happy to tailor the tour to include what we wanted to see, and to fit around the somewhat unpredictable weather conditions! Would strongly recommend to anyone who is going to be visiting Cairns and would like to see some beautiful nature. Thanks again Darrin!

Excellent Tour guide - A Perfect Guide. We had the best of our time at Cairns thanks to Darrin . He took care of smallest of the things to make our tour hassle free. He was there with us all along waiting with us in the queue making sure we don’t meet with any problem. Right from the booking he was very flexible with the itinerary and accommodated all my requests. Overall an Excellent hospitality. Highly recommended .

We had a ball! - My sister and I enjoyed three tours with Darrin as our driver. Every effort was made to ensure we had a great time - we are elderly and we’re shown lots of outstanding places that were suited to our abilities. Of course the weather was perfect that helped! On time, dressed well, cheerful conversation mixed with interesting facts.- awesome venues, some fabulous eateries. We’ve had a great time with no complaints except maybe not enough days sightseeing on our itinerary - thanks Darrin from Mon and Mary

An absolute must - Great day trip with Darrin - I think the headline says it all. Darrin was a great guide, extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastically passing his knowledge on to us. He definitely went the extra mile to make sure the trip was a success. As one of the highlights on our trip with Darrin we saw a cassowary less than 3 meters away by one of the trails leading to a waterfall If I am ever in Australia again, I would take another trip with Darrin

Awesome Day with an Awesome Guide!! - Prior to the trip Darrin was eager and happy to answer all of our questions even after more than a few emails. 😬 On the day of our trip Darrin was on time (actually early) with a beautiful van and a big smile. After all of our emails back and forth it was like seeing an old friend and it got even better as the day went on. We headed out to Kuranda to see the falls, Koala Gardens, a coffee plantation and so much more along the way. Darrin gave us lots of history, local insight and lots of laughs. Our day with Darrin is something our family will never forget and when we head back to Carins there is only one person we will call. Do yourself a favor and stop looking for the right guide because you just found him.

Cairns day trip - Darin showed us a great time and allowed us to modify the tour to suit our desires. There was a mix up about the lunch and he more than satisfied me. He defiantly went the extra mile. He is the only tour I will use in Cairns and strongly recommend that you do too.

Darrin and this company rock! Definitely book with them! - Set up an individualized tour with Darrin-I had read about Yunguburra Markets on line and wanted to go. He set this up and added beautiful scenic spots-falls,tree, lake, lookout. A very pleasant and informative, careful driver on the twisty Gillies highway. ok, his jokes aren't great (gotcha, Darrin!) but they're fine. He really is a very nice person to spend a day with-accommodating and professional at all times. Definitely book with this company!!
