5.00The whole experience was absolutely perfect! We had the time to visit multiple places, stop, take pictures, listen to Scott‘s information and stories that he could share and just enjoy. It was also a food tour, we tried different local typical specialties with gorgeous views in front of us. I would say it‘s a very well organized tour for whoever wants to see as much as possible and not stress about the timing and how to fit everything in one day.
Excellent tour of Mossman Gorge and Daintree Rainforest

5.00This was a substitute trip as our original booking was cancelled. We weren’t disappointed. Daniel was a knowledgeable guide and told us things about the rainforest flora and fauna, the whole area and its history that we could never of known. I would highly recommend this trip. The ice cream on the return journey is an added bonus.
