5.00A fun, informative day travelling through aboriginal land and hearing about its history and people whilst exploring some of the amazing places on the east coast! Michael, our guide, was excellent; friendly, chatty and knowledgeable. Day was long, so I’m glad we packed some extra snacks, though the burrito we ordered as part of the package was delicious!
A very nice, educational tour!

5.00It was a very long day but saw a lot, morning tea wasn’t until 11:30 so good idea to eat some kind of breakfast first. Didn’t get back until 8 pm. But did see lovely sunsets The swim was more like a splash in lovely cool water, but a lot of people of course. Saw a lot!! Ben our driver/guide did his utmost so that we saw and experienced as much as possible. Levi welcomed us explaining a lot about the Indigenous people in this territory. Greatly respected and appreciated the sharing of his culture, including family and himself. He was also pretty funny if you listened closely enough.
Highly recommended must...

5.00This is a really long 12 hour day, but you get to see a lot. The rainforest feels like you’re walking in a botanical garden. But be prepared for sudden intense downpours. The highlight of the day was seeing a saltwater croc when we were on the boat. Sambo did a great job of commentary while he was driving. He also showed us interesting things about the plants when we had the guided rainforest walk. Note the last stop for ice cream is not included. You have to pay for your own ice cream. I would recommend this trip for those with stamina that want to see the plants of the rainforest.
Great day loads to see a wonderful experience

5.00It’s a long day but worth it. Great to see the Cape. Really good trip to rock pool. We had a very nice guide. lunch was fantastic (only negative was lack of toilet facilities) and the ice cream stop was welcome. Remember to take insect repellent.

5.00This tour you cover a lot of the north Queensland. Jake was an excellent tour guide who kept the pacing of the tour to meet everyone's needs. He provided comprehensive information about each area. Our only recommendation would be to add more information about the endemic birds and amphibians in the bushwalk. The Daintree Rainforest is an amazing place to visit. However, visiting the Mossman and getting the blessing for a safe journey was a special and meaning way to begin your journey. The suspension bridge is worth the walk and to walk across it as it provides incredible views. On this tour, you are able to see 2 unique UNESCO sites-the 180 million year old Daintree Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. The tour day is long as it is about 12 hours from Cairns but totally worth it. We would highly recommend this tour and especially our tour guide, Jake.
