5.00It was 4.5hours through the rainforest visiting a beautiful creek, magnificent gorge with waterfall with Lance, a great guide. He was informative, friendly and chatty and really looked after us. He had John with him, a trainee - also very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the region. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and the coffee and biscuits and the ice cream was delicious!
Scotty is a top notch tour guide!

5.00This small group tour was perfect! The guide was fun and informative as they weaved our group throughout the rain forest, small streams and local landmarks. The off roading was a relaxing adventure.

5.00An amazing 4 wheel drive experience. Spectacular scenery, gorges, lookouts and driving through creek beds filled with water. Our tour guide James was great, his knowledge of the area was interesting to listen to and his hilarious "dad" jokes made this such a fun trip. Definitely recommend this tour.
