5.00This is a full but exciting and interesting day out made that much better by a personable humour out guide Daniel. Mossman Gorge was followed by Daintree Rain Forest including a varied and interesting talk as you walk through, by a guide whose knowledge is incredible and fascinating at the same time. Also. Included a short cruise down the Daintree River where we actually saw a 1 year old croc. Cape Tribulation is where the forest meets the reef and loads more interestingly things to learn about out over in a fun and interesting manner. A lot of commentary throughout the journey which taught you much about many things. Pick up was 8:30 and back in port Douglas at 4:30. Highly recommended.
