5.00Cam was very knowledgeable and personable. Great trip to the world’s oldest Rain forest. It was pouring rain but Cam provided us with umbrellas. The lunch was great with 5 different options to choose from. Wear shoes that you won’t mind getting wet. I would recommend this tour again and especially with Cam as your guide.
Cam was a great guide

5.00Cam was our tour guide and was awesome. We were a little concerned because it was raining when the excursion started. But we decided to embrace it and we’re so glad we did. We were in a rainforest and it was pouring down rain. Cam provided very large umbrellas for us so we could keep dry. Definitely wear shoes that you don’t mind getting a little wet. Cam was extremely knowledgeable about plants and wildlife that we saw in the rainforest. We had morning tea at one of the first stops along with scones, which were very good and the Dante tea was delicious. We also took a boat ride, hoping to see crocs. The conditions made it hard to see, but we did manage to see one that they named Bruce and a baby crock as well. Probably could’ve done without the boat ride because of the conditions but even still it was all great. We also stopped for lunch. They had five different options so everybody could find something that they liked. Would definitely recommend this tour and if you have an option, ask for Cam to be your guide. Thanks Cam for such a great trip. Bob and Ceelou
