Dream Introduction to Daintree

5.00Visiting Daintree and the surrounding areas was high on my bucket list while in Carins for a short time. This all-day tour hit so many highlights it's hard to know where to start. Our guide, Steve, was incredibly knowledgeable as well as fun, kind, helpful and patient. The rainforest has so much to offer, it gave my cousins and me an initial taste of a place we all now wish to revisit. The swim at Mossman Gorge was a highlight, as well as seeing incredible plants and animals on the cruise down the river. Lunch was a tasty and informational treat, providing local dishes in a lush location with a lesson in local fruits, which I quite enjoyed. Walks around Cape Tribulation and Port Douglas were enthralling, and a stop for Betty's delicious handmade ice cream, scooped by Betty herself, at Floravilla Ice Creamery in Cow Bay couldn't have been more perfect. It was a long day that could've gone on hours longer, as far as I was concerned. The coach was comfortable, and the day was phenomenal.
Awesome Day!

5.00All very well organised & our guide/driver, Perry, made the whole trip very enjoyable. Must have been exhausting for him as a very long day, but nothing was ever too much trouble. Excellent morning coffee stop, outstanding lunch & amazing homemade ice cream stop in the afternoon. The Daintree rainforest is off the scale, as is Cape Tribulation - all truly stunning!
Fantastic experience from...

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.
