Lots of driving.

4.00The destinations were great. The driver was great. The food was great. The van was great. The time in the van was not really clear when we signed up. It was a great experience but just need to know that you will be driving for several hours each way.
Scenic wet time

4.00The tour was wonderful, despite the rain! The rain forest was amazing, and all of the waterfalls were beautiful. The only drawback was the pickup…we were told to be ready at 7:00 a.m. but were not picked up until 8:00 a.m., and no communication about tardiness.
A day of endless fun

5.00Our tour guide Cheryl was extremely hospitable, friendly, and displayed a depth of knowledge and sensitivity towards Cairns' wildlife, culture, and history. We felt that time was used to its fullest and that we were able to cover a lot of ground and do a good range of activities in just one day. I was so glad to get the mix of culture and history with the talk at the Cathedral Fig tree, as well as the fun and thrill at the different waterfalls. The size of the group wasn't too big either, which worked well for us. Thanks to Cheryl and Cairns Adventure Group, we've made memories that we'll remember for a long time.

5.00We had a great day. Our tour guide Michael was amazing he was very kind, helping, funny, and inclusive (he was also a great photographer too). One of the best tour guides I’ve ever had .We would definitely recommend the tour and the tour guide. I went there with my husband and my 10 year old daughter and my daughter had an amazing experience so I would definitely recommend bringing your family along.

5.00My tour was so much fun, our group was small, but full of lovely people from all around the world: Canada, Poland, Ireland, Spain, Japan. And our guide was awesome told us very interesting stories, let us enjoy the waterfalls, took amazing pictures. The lunch was great! I don’t eat much so I left part of my wrap, but I loved it! Fresh and tasty. I would recommend everyone to carry anti motion sickness medicine because the path is full of curves.
