Amazing experience at the Daintree national park. - We had an incredible experience on the Daintree tour.
From a traditional aboriginal welcome to visiting the beautiful Mossman Gorge, the trip is unmatched.
Our tour guide Matt was very passionate and knowledgeable. We particularly loved the newer feature to this tour which was visiting a local orchard to pick fresh organic fruit and swim in a private freshwater pool. The owner was lovely!
We’d do the trip again in a heartbeat.

Absolutely fantastic - This was the most excellent full day trip we have done. The experience was overwhelming. Our guide Mel was just sensational. Great personality and showed it even with our International tourists travelling with us. Mel was knowledgable. Scenery just outstanding. Lunch was fantastic. Choice of 5 meals for lunch. Morning tea and lunch provided. The most important thing to take is a phone/camera for memorable photos. Again great excursion. Enjoy

A wonderful experience - It was a fantastic experience. kim our tour guide was so knowledgeable and had a fantastic sense of humour. I did get a little tired at the end looking at the fruit orchards as there is a fair bit of walking on this tour but its fun and not challenging walking. The fiver cruise was amazing as id never seen a crocodile before. All in all a great experience. Thanks Daintree discovery Tours
