Fantastic day - highly recommended

5.00I loved everything about this tour. Highlights included guide Clinton's entertaining and informative commentary, the cultural presentation at the Cathedral fig tree, and the chance to see so many stunning locations in a single day. I wouldn't have wanted to do this much driving by myself, but being a passenger means you can relax and enjoy the scenery in between stops. Our group included a wide range of ages, and there were people travelling solo as well as couples and pairs of friends. There was plenty to enjoy at each location whether you wanted to swim or not. All in all, a really well designed and thoughtfully delivered tour. It also felt like excellent value for money compared to what I'd have spent on car rental, petrol, lunch and stress if attempting to DIY the same route.

5.00A great way to see many sites in a day. Even if there is rain it is well worth it! Swimming at Milla Milla is a must!

1.00Operator never arrived to pick up location. Myself and others left waiting for hours. Bus never showed up. Refused refund request with zero explanation. Terrible customer service. Scam.

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.
