5.00The Daintree was incredible! Our guide, Dale, was very knowledgable and friendly. Wildlife is hard to spot in the rainforest, so seeing the Boyd Forest Dragon was extra special. Truly a beautiful place and the croc sighting exciting as well.
Absolutely fantastic day!

5.00We had the best experience. Our guide, Cam was amazingly knowledgeable and charismatic. We had various sightings of animals, birds and insects. I think we managed 7 sightings of Cassowaries. Our mourning tea that was provided was lovely. Made up of Daintree tea and scones (with jam and cream). On our river cruise we sighted a five metre crocodile named Scooter. Lunch with about five different choices was amazing. The Barramundi was delicious . Take your bathers for a swim in the most clear and inviting looking swimming hole after lunch. The Daintree and Cape Tribulation has to be seen to be believed, totally amazing. What better way to end the day by calling in to grab some delicious ice cream.

5.00This activity can not be understood through words or photos. You MUST experience it! The scenery is something out of paradise. So stunning and unimaginable. We were with a small group of only 4 other people so our guide Pwr was able to personalize it just for us. Highly, highly recommend this beauty!
Very knowledgeable guides
