5.00Spent the day on a private tour with Scott as our guide. It was a great experience as Scott was knowledgeable, experienced and friendly. He was also well versed in discussing the indigenous culture. Saw Crocodiles on the river and cassowaries on the road, among notable wildlife. Have to mention the great ice cream stop with local flavors. Well done.
Book this tour.

5.00We had an amazing day exploring Mossman Gorge, the Daintree River, and Cape Tribulation with Reece from Down Under Tours. Having a guide who has grown up & lived locally and knows the area so well made such a difference. Reece was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and made the whole day really enjoyable. The Mossman Gorge, Daintree River & Cape Tribulation tour was definitely a highlight of our trip, and we would highly recommend it to anyone considering this experience.
Excellent from start to finish with a superb guide.

5.00We had the most fantastic day with Reece, our guide and driver. Nothing was too much trouble for him. At Mossman we had fab scones and a hot drink, we had lunch in the Heritage Hotel in Daintree and then ice cream on the way back. Everything about this trip was first class. Lots of information about the Daintree Forest, wonderful sights and spectacular service. Thank you
Brilliant day out with Reece our tour guide

5.00The excursion was beautiful, Adrian was a very precise and friendly guide, telling us everything about the rainforest and the places we visited. He provided us with a lot of information about the various plants, also pointing out the toxic ones. The food breaks were excellent, especially the ice cream! Highly recommended
