5.00We took this tour as we wanted to see as much native wildlife as possible including crocodiles. This far far exceeded our expectations. We had the phenomenal Scott as our tour guide who absolutely made this such a fantastic and memorable day, it was also his birthday so we sang to him which I overheard him say was humbling, awww. We saw so much including crocodiles and lizards as well as learning so much about the rainforest and its inhabitants. The flora and fauna were stunning and Scott happily kept us fully entertained throughout and answered all of our questions. we travelled in what can only be described as a modified overlander type truck. The Daintree river cruise was so much fun and I think we had Craig as our tour guide, who kept us amused as well as finding baby and adult crocs. We saw everything from giant spiders to a tea plantation and had the best lunch ever and afternoon tea with cake and even locally made ice cream in generous portions. A very well thought out trip that gave and gave. I cannot share here just how much we did and saw and how much fun it was here, only that I fully recommend it and would love to go again soon. Well done and many thanks .

5.00Superb tour including Mossman Gorge, Daintree River Cruise and Cape Tribulation with our host Adrian. Lots of local information provided along the way but a good mix of key tourist “all in 1 day” things to see and do. Stunning scenery along the way and a day that will live long in the holiday memories.
A really informative tour.
