5.00Superb tour including Mossman Gorge, Daintree River Cruise and Cape Tribulation with our host Adrian. Lots of local information provided along the way but a good mix of key tourist “all in 1 day” things to see and do. Stunning scenery along the way and a day that will live long in the holiday memories.
A really informative tour.

5.00We had a brilliant tour today with the wonderful Lindsay. He was so knowledgeable and helpful. A new story in every location. Saw lots of wildlife, a Croc, spiders, crabs, wallabys and some amazing views. Delicious snacks and lunch as well. We especially enjoyed playing Frisbee on the beach with Lindsay!

4.00David was a wonderful tour guide, with lots of carism and was very knowledgeable about the area and native fauna and flora. He made us all feel welcome from the minute we joined the tour. The tour itself was a wonderful way to see parts of beautiful North Queensland that we would never have been able to see on our own. The only draw back was that we didn't get to spend a lot of time in each location, but otherwise the whole experience was wonderful. Would definitely recommend this tour and will definitely be looking into future journeys with down under tours.
Highlights, Humor and Nature in the Daintree

5.00Today we joined a tour through the Daintree region, and overall it was a fantastic experience. Our guide, Daniel, really made the day. He had a great mix of knowledge, fun facts, and light-hearted humor that kept the whole group engaged from start to finish. You could tell he genuinely enjoyed what he was doing, and that enthusiasm was contagious. His stories about the area’s history, the local wildlife, and the rainforest itself added a lot of depth to each stop we visited. The sights along the way were beautiful, especially the guided walk at Mossman Gorge and the views from Alexandra Lookout. The wildlife cruise on the Daintree River was relaxed and enjoyable, offering a peaceful way to take in the surroundings. If you’re hoping to spot a crocodile, it’s worth knowing that the chances are quite low at this time of year. Still, we were lucky enough to see a small one, which was a fun surprise and added a nice bit of excitement to the cruise. Cape Tribulation was absolutely stunning as wel, if anything, I would have liked just a little more time there to wander and take it all in. Lunch was fine, though nothing particularly memorable, but the stop at the ice cream shop later in the afternoon definitely made up for it. The flavors were unique, refreshing, and a real treat. If I could tweak one small detail, I would have preferred the tea and coffee to take with us on the road rather than before departure, but it didn’t take away from the experience, and I understand this may depend on the group setup for the day. All in all, it was a memorable tour. The scenery was beautiful, the pace of the day was pleasant, and Daniel’s guiding tied everything together perfectly. I would absolutely recomend this experience to anyone wanting to explore the Daintree in an enjoyable and insightful way.
Great views and delicious food
