5.00Our day trip to Daintree National Forest with Adrian Hazel was amazing! I was impressed with his passion and love for the National park. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and keen to share his love and expertise with us. The Mossman gorge and the Cape Tribulation with additional experiences of morning tea at the Mossman gorge, lunch and ice cream treat at Daintree made the day extra special. Adrian spoke for hours answering questions and giving us the history of the areas he covered during the trip. We are thrilled to give a 5 star review for our trip with him today. What is most impressive is that this company and its tour guides give back to the conservation of Daintree. This is very important to us.

5.00I had the most amazing time on my tour with this company, especially with Greg who made the experience absolutely unforgettable!! From his funny jokes to intriguing insights of each area we went to, this tour is something I will hold special in my heart forever. He took such great care of us and made sure we were all having a good time. There were so many mixes of cultures and languages on the tour, and he navigated it splendidly. The food was also exquisite, with fresh ingredients and a jungle/waterfront view. I am eternally grateful, thank you Down Under and GREG!! Much love from Hawai’i.
Great day out, learn some history and about the how wonderful this important part of our country is

5.00Very good trip. Great tour guide (Adrian H). Shared so much of his knowledge and answered many questions, loved his humour too. I would definitely recommend for others to do this trip.
Mixed feeling about the tour

4.00This was more a drive through the Daintree rainforest rather than a walk tour of the Daintree Rainforest that i thought it would be. The Walk through was relative very short and quick and it would have been nice if it was a bit more longer to experience the habitats in the rainforest itself. We did not get to meet any of the locals either. our guide and tour driver however was very good as he gave us continuous commentary as we drove through . The light breakfast and the Lunch ( in natural Rainforest surroundings) was very good as was our Ice cream treat) overall i would give it 7 rating.
