Great experience at Daintree, Mossman Gorge and Crocodile Wildlife Cruise - Rasa with Sacred Owl Tours was a great guide. Good communication, clean vehicle, and everything went off as planned - tour for salties on the river in a covered and solar powered boat (for salt water crocodiles - saw quite a few), delicious lunch at Daintree followed by a Welcome to County with a first Nations representative, 3 km walk in the rain forest, followed by a swim at Mossman Gorge, plus a few stops on the way back to Cairns to check out the views and spy a few wallabees. Rasa was very informative along the way about local floral, fauna, and all things Australia. It was a long day, but worth the time and $. I don't typically write reviews but highly recommend this tour.

Crocodiles and dragons oh my! - This was a small group tour which was lovely. Rasa was knowledgeable and attentive to the participants. We learned about the rainforest from her but also were part of a "welcome to country ceremony ". It's so interesting to me that those of Mayan descent in Mexico do a similar ceremony and the first peoples in Canada use some of the same elements in their teachings. We saw crocodiles in the wild as well as a forest dragon.

A wonderful experience - We highly recommend this excursion. It was a great day filled with experiences. The crocodile river cruise was, in our opinion, one of the absolute highlights. It was probably one of the most memorable days of our four week long holiday in Australia. Rasa was a wonderful guide.

A quality experience in the heart of Australian nature - Thank you for this experience that was worth it! A Kind Guide will accompany you through Things to do all day. His smile and pertinent observations are a great plus. Things to do and places are well chosen. I advise 100% alone or several.

You won’t regret it - You have to do this! Ancient tropical forest around in dinosaur times. Healing waters to swim in. Aboriginal guides with artefacts dating back thousands of years, and healing knowledge passed through the generations. Crocodiles for miles. Wow! And Rasa our guide so friendly and knowledgeable. What an amazing experience. You have to do this!

Fabulous experience - Overall the experience was great. Few comments: Rasa has a great personality and nice. We could see just one crocodile far from the boat, we expected more than that. The smoking ceremony and body painting was too short, we expected someone in an aboriginal costume but the nice guy was in formal cloths. The rainforest hiking was phenomena and priceless with precious information from Rasa. And finally swimming in the river was awesoooome and refreshing.
