World class experience. - Our tour guide made the trip. Our guide was Cameron. His knowledge of the rain forest, plant life, animal life and the history of the country was wildly impressive. Great energy and sense of humor on top of broad and deep knowledge. The company structured the tour in a way that allowed great experiences in the rain forest coupled with the right kind of breaks - it was a ten hour tour. The pace was right. Worth investing in a small group tour. We had four people today and it was personal with all questions answered. Fantastic.

We had a great experience... - We had a great experience during this tour. Unfortunately for us, the crocs were not out however we did spot on female nesting. Mick and Georgia did an awesome job guiding us through the Daintree, very knowledgeable. Highly recommended

Great Day! Great Tour & Tour Guide! - Wow! what a wonderful half day tour! Got picked up by Cam and immediately felt welcome and comfortable. Cam was very accommodating and very knowledgeable of the whole area. We got to meet the lovely Erika who training, she also knew a lot about the area as a local and was very friendly. We spotted 4 crocodiles on the River Cruise even though this weather makes them hide away. Highlight for me was the beauty of the rainforest, and swimming in the Mossman Gorge. So refreshing and relaxing, we didn’t want to leave. Highly recommend this half day tour if you don’t want to be out all day. Will definitely return and do this Tour again.

Recommended! - We had a great morning with Mel. She picked us up on time, drove safely, told a lot and spread good humor. The tour was very well organized and we were NOT rushed from A to B. On the contrary... there was enough time at the 2 stops:-) To the River Cruise: the Crocs are not fed. I think this is very good, but it can happen by not seeing a crocodile - that's just nature. ;-) We were lucky though. After the one-hour boat trip there was coffee, tea and very delicious muffins. Mossman Gorge: a short bus ride and a short walk lead to the gorge where you can swim. Everyone is free to go into the water, just relax a bit or walk around a bit. I would book there again.

Cam really looked after us, what a brilliant tour! - The perfect half day trip to explore the Daintree River and see Mossman Gorge. My tour guide Cam was absolutely amazing and completely made the day. He was immediately friendly and attentive, was full of very interesting information about the region and we had a great time! They picked me up and dropped me off at my hostel and we had the most delicious cake that Cam had picked up from the bakery for us that morning to have with a cup of tea. Couldn’t recommend this tour more for people wanting to see the area from Port Douglas. Thank you so much Cam!

Interesting, entertaining and fun! - What a great morning! We were all picked up by the very cheerful Cam and driven to our boat to sail along the Daintree River. Beautiful scenery and an opportunity to spot crocodiles. We arrived back to coffee, tea and delicious baked goods from Grant st Bakery. We then headed off to Mossman Gorge. Cam created a great atmosphere, balancing interesting facts and history with humour and personal anecdotes . If you’re looking for a memorable adventure with an entertaining and clever tour guide this is the trip for you.

Loved it - Great tour. Peer was a very knowledgeable and friendly guide. The Mossman Gorge was the highlight. If you love swimming you’ll want more time here or need to go back.

Daitree Discovery Tour - Interesting, excellent guide, Kim, great meal, a little disappointed not to see animals except the vague outline of a crocodile at the bottom of the river.
