Discovering a Contrasting Tropical Wonderland

5.00We experienced a day-trip to the Daintree Rainforest, Mossman Gorge and Cape Tribulation that completely changed our perspective on Australia’s landscapes – it was remarkable to see this lush tropical forest, so different from the rest of the country. The tour was well-organised from start to finish, the guides shared fascinating insights into the ecosystem and culture, and walking among ancient trees and hearing the rainforest buzz was unforgettable.
Beautiful Coastline

4.00A really great day out, it was a very long day and we did not stop at all the places listed in the itinerary but it was still an amazing day. Morning Tea of damper with jam and cream with tea and coffee was served at the Mossman Gorge centre. A swim at Mossman Gorge was really great, then we went on to lunch that was a main served with a delicious plate of tropic fruit. We only saw one baby croc on the cruise. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining and took care of everyone. The scenery is spectacular, everyone on the tour had a great time.
Exciting

5.00A great day trip, well organised, Steve our guide was very knowledgeable. Mossman gorge is beautiful a little longer stop would have been lovely, but to see everything we did I understand having to keep to time. I would recommend this small group tour.
Great day seeing the rain forest!

2.00Tour guide Steve was informative and knowledgeable, and made the tour Very disappointed as one of the highlights listed in the brochure, The Daintree Rainforest walking tour was completely skipped with no mention or explanation why. We had time to do this scheduled highlight as we were running ahead of the itinerary all day. This was a main feature we were looking forward to and one of the reasons why we booked this tour. I would have preferred to miss the 30 minute icecream stop and been taken on the scheduled Daintree Rainforest walking tour instead. Tour guide Steve was informative and knowledgeable, and made the tour interesting, but did talk alot. Because a major highlight was skipped I unfortunately would not recommend this tour. We pay quite a lot of money to do this tour and if an activity is highlighted in the brochure to do, we should get to do it. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity and it's very upsetting that it was missed.
A wonderful trip to some of the most beautiful places on Earth l!

5.00It was a long day but worth it! Our tour guide Scottie was knowledgeable and funny. He told us a lot of funny stories and gave us tips to maximize our time. He was concerned about our comfort and made sure everyone’s needs were met. It was a wonderful day and the sights were amazing!
A great trip so worth paying a bit more to be on a small group tour

5.00A great day out, albeit a long one but we saw lots. Karsten our guide was excellent, informative, engaging and knowledgeable. He kept us to time without ever making us feel rushed. We were so glad we paid that little but extra to do a small group tour thus avoiding time wasted on multiple pick ups and not being herded in a large group. Loved the swim at Mosseman gorge overall a great day
Really great!
