Amazing - Amazing, amazing, amazing! Small groups only, nice and clean air-conditioned bus with chilled water supplied for the day. Itinerary really good, right amount of time spent at each stop. Lunch was great and the swim at the creek afterwards was a real treat. What really made our day was our driver Cam, he was so knowledgeable, cheeky and just plain fun and made the day really enjoyable. This is a stunning part of the world, and this was by far our best tour to the Daintree we have done!

A great day. - I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this tour. Cam our guide was very knowledgeable and so funny. I learnt a lot without feeling like I was back in school. Being a solo traveler the entire group plus Cam made me feel included. It was a tiring but great day.

Be ready for lots of information and spectacular scenery. - Matt was our tour guide and he was superb. He provided a balance of information concerning the Rainforest and impacts due to our changing weather. He used a laser to point out festures in trees that would have been difficult to explain without this tool. His knowledge and experience was appreciated.

Fun day out with the family! - We had a great time. We took so many photos. Our guide,Mel was so full of knowledge and really was fun to be with. Related so well with our kids too! The trip was great! From the bus which was very comfortable, stops along the way broke up the distance travelled and it was a great experience! Even the kids said they were not bored! Thanks Mel! You’re the best!

A perfect 8 hour day! - We took the 8 hour tour with Matthew as our guide. We loved it. He knew a lot, made up some great stories, and confessed to all his embellishments by the end of the tour! We thought the variety was fantastic...first the welcome centre with the Indigenous ceremony (this was so meaningful) and delicious tea and scones and a resident golden orb spider; then the beautiful rainforest and Mossman Gorge where we learned so much and then swam and cooled off. Alas, no cassowary or platypus sightings. And the day wasn't nearly over! On to a Barramundi lunch, a river tour where we spotted two small crocodiles and amazing birds, and then to an organic fruit farm (where we tasted fairy floss beans, star apple and passion fruit and swam in a private waterfall!) A fantastic day. We did a private tour because of the age range of our group, and it was well worth it. Thank you, Matthew! I won't reveal any secrets on line!

A must do! - The Total Daintree Experience was amazing. Our tour guide, Mick, was so knowledgeable and informative as well as a very friendly and funny bloke. The four of us had a fantastic time and would do it all again in a heart beat.

Highly recommended - This was a really enjoyable tour. Swimming in Mossman Gorge was amazing, the rainforest and Cape Tribulation were so dramatic. Matthew was a great guide, clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about his subject. Lovely lunch and great company too.

wonderful tour, bus and lunch experience could improve. - Mossman Gorge, Cape Tribulation and the Daintree were absolutely beautiful and our guide Mel was engaging and knowledgeable, thanks Mel. It was a wonderful, but long day and unfortunately the bus seats were really tiny and cramped. The lunch was ok, but instead of being seated inside under ceilings fans (tables were all empty) we were put outside under a shade sail but it was still unpleasantly hot with the sun burning through the shade cloth. Lastly just a small one, the description says morning and afternoon tea included, but it was only morning tea. We did stop at the ice-cream shop to purchase our own ice-cream in the afternoon which was lovely and really I didn't need any more to eat.
