5.00Was one of the first people on the modified itinerary (ferry had been destroyed in the storm). Overall, it was a great tour! Patrick, the driver/guide had terrific energy and passion for the region (including a deep passion for birding). We got to explore the amazing rainforest, swim in the gorge, check out a lot of spiders, and then spend some time at Port Douglas and the beach.
Our tour guide Sheryl took our day to the next level

5.00Our tour driver and guide Sheryl was simply amazing. From keeping everyone on time, to all the little extras to make our day special, it was an unreal experience. If there were more people like Sheryl, travel would be next level on every vacation. Well done!!!
