5.00My 10yo child and I had a satisfying tour on Feb 06, 2026. It was a small group with 11 people, so pick-up from different hotels took less time than I expected. We enjoyed the short rainforest walk in the rain at Mossman Gorge, an-hour boat-ride to see the baby crocodiles at Daintree River, and a special Daintree Forest ice-cream at Floravilla. Many thanks to our guide Mark (forgive me if I am wrong), who did great job explaining the history and culture of each town we passed. He was also very considerate that, when knowing my child is likely to be car-sick, he drove at a comfortable speed especially in the winding areas.

Nothing was too much trouble. We had a great day and recommend this day as an essential for any one visiting Cairns

4.00The travel was long, but we got a good history of the northern area of Queensland. Our guide, Scotty, was an absolute character and a fountain of knowledge. The swim at Mossman gorge was just the ticket and it was awesome to see the crocodiles in the wild.
