Everything was great! I really enjoyed the trip. Everything was on schedule and on time, without feeling rushed! Excellent transportation, a cheerful driver/guide, and we visited all the sights with minimal crowds and quick access. I highly recommend it!

We had a fabulous time exploring Cairns. One of the highlights of the day was being able to swim in Mossman Gorge, this was an absolutely magical experience. The scenery was beautiful and the water cold and r3fr3shing. You could feel the magic of the rainforest and the past. Lunch was divine! I can't remember having food that yummy! We also learnt all about the tropical fruit we were eating too. The day was long but very comfortable. We were lucky to have an extremely knowledgeable and friendly tour guide, who helped make the day as wonderful as it was. The group was a small group which was pleasing. This is a must do when visiting Cairns. We would happily do this tour again if we were in Cairns in the future.
A perfect day!

Steve, our guide, was caring, knowledgable, organised, and fun. He led a perfect tour: I learned a lot, saw more than anticipated, ate well, and truly enjoyed my time and places. The vehicle is a new, safe, clean Benz, the food in the Tea House was exceptional (the fruit stories are the highlight) and the special final touch to a perfect and memorable day was the iconic forest ice cream with Betty, a legend! I highly recommend this tour.

A great way to experience the Rainforest and surroundings if you’re on a short stay in Cairns! We got to do and see so much in a day! Steve was a great tour guide, friendly and full of local knowledge & information which he shared with us from start to end making the journey so much more interesting. The views were phenomenal, we even got to see a croc on the river cruise! each destination 10/10 so glad we picked this tour 👍
Long, but pretty good

Be aware this is a very long day. We really liked it but got tired a little after lunch. My family doesn't love long tours so we may be a little biased. After we swam in the waterfall area and had lunch at the great place with lots of information on local fruit we could have been done. I would still recommend this. Just a 1/2 day or something else would have been better for my family.
Good tour

Great tour. Our guide Mr. Scottie was knowledgeable and personable. At one point when he saw a Cassowary cross the road into the bushes, he pulled over for all to see. Throughout the trip he gave us tidbits of the surroundings and the sights we were seeing. Truly exceptional.
Perfect day

The tour was incredible but something that made it stand out was the incredible guidance from John who was just and absolute wealth of knowledge. There wasn’t a single dull moment on the tour and if there was John would fill it with amazing facts about the area and wildlife.

Amazing tour with Mario who was so warm, knowledgeable and organised, but still totally relaxed. In addition to the full itinerary, we also had great experiences that weren't advertised, including seeing fruit bats, an insightful tropical fruit salad tasting and talk, and great food. We'd recommend to anyone!
