Not worth the money or time. Day gone!

1.00I felt the tour wasn’t worth the amount I paid for especially being a 12hrs tour. Our guide Lindsey was very nice. However not as knowledgable as I hoped he would be. Plus, he was in a hurry, all the time. We started with the walk through the rainforest. It was literally 10-15mins. Barely even touching it and rushed. Just so we have time for tea and coffee with a scone. I was expecting more like an 1hr-2hr walk. Then we went on the river cruise which or less then 45mins. One way( one side of the river) our guide met us at the ferry stop. Then we had lunch the had the fish, it was ok. Then we walked around that area. Then to be rushed off to the ice cream. Now that was yummy! But after that it was a beach which we spent more time on than the rainforest itself and a lookout point. Most of the day you’re in the bus driving around. I wouldn’t do this tour again nor would I recommend it to someone else.

5.00This was a very nice excursion with a lot of activities. A little scenery along the coast while driving, introduction to the rainforest, a short boat trip to see the crocs, a wonderful lunch, some time on the beach and a stop for delicious ice cream. Our guide Daniel was wonderful and even gave my two boys some life tips as they talked and all of us some fun facts. We highly recommend this trip.
Beautiful long day

5.00Be ready for a long ride. But, the visited locations are great, and so was the lunch. Christo, the Viking guide, was top notch.
Highly recommended

5.00Really well-organised. Lindsay the guide was funny, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. Coach was impeccably clean and comfortable. We saw the main sights, plus a cassowary with two chick's, old scarface the cricket, and a Ulysses butterfly. They tried hard to accommodate all dietary requirements. The lunch was average, but the icecreams were delicious. Worth every cent.

1.00We picked up people for 2 hours! Ridiculous. Not how I want to spend my holiday. Please refund 50% of my money since half the time wasn’t actually a tour.
