5.00Great Trip, Daniel made us laugh but at the same time was really informative. Was the right length of time to be out. Loved the ice cream but wasn’t so happy with lunch
Awesome holiday 😎

5.00Adrian Hazel was an excellent informative friendly guide. His passion for his job was addictive and his story telling of Daintree and Australia’s past was spellbinding. Personally, we would liked to have spent more time walking and learning about its eco system than having tea and scones but that was just our personal preference! Would recommend 100%! Thank you for a great experience.
Amazing Trip

5.00Great day with Daniel on Down Under Tours. Daniel really made the day enjoyable with great knowledge of the Rain Forest its wildlife and delivered with a serious dose of comedy and Australian sarcasm throughout! Excellent cruise down the Daintree river and it least we saw a small Crocodile. Great food at lunchtime and a nice ice cream stop on the way back. Excellent day and if you are lucky enough to get Daniel as your guide you won’t be disappointed. Would highly recommend.
