5.00We had a really informative tour of Daintree & Cape Tribulation. It turns out there are dangerous plants and critters around, and I'm glad we had a guide to point them out! No worries - we were completely safe the whole time. It was a long day and the agenda was packed. Breaks for tea, lunch, and ice cream were nice. The food was all very good and in beautiful settings. The ice cream store has delicious non-dairy options if you need, and you can buy Daintree Tea there for a much better price than in town. Another benefit of going on a tour is meeting people from all over. We had a small group, which was nice. I highly recommend this tour versus trying to do it on your own.
Great day in the Daintree

5.00We did this tour on our recent trip to Cairns and it was awesome! Reece was an amazing tour guide, very friendly and had a lot of local knowledge (and jokes) about the region. There are a bunch of highlight stops so you see a lot of different aspects of the area including Daintree rainforest walks, Cape tribulation, Mossman Gorge and lookout spots plus some quick views of Palm Cove and Port Douglas. There is also a river cruise where we spotted crocodiles and got to see a lot of blue Ulysses butterflies while we were waiting for the boat. We were also fortunate enough to see a cassowary which was a definite highlight of the day. It was a long day but we felt that was a huge positive because we really got our money’s worth and it was super easy with hotel pick up and drop off. 10/10 recommend.

5.00Truly excellent tour, rich in history, curiosities, and legends about the local population, flora, and fauna. A wonderful experience on the Daintree River, lunch in the rainforest, delicious tropical gelato, and a beautiful visit to Cape Tribulation Beach. It is truly worth it; the guide was fantastic. There is also the option of an audio guide.
