5.00A great day trip, which included close-up croc viewing on the boat cruise as well as multiple stops to enjoy the rainforest. Graeme is a good guide, with lots of supplementary information along the way. Lunch was terrific!

5.00This is an excellent full day tour of the Daintree region. The pickup from Billy yea safaris was spot on time from the esplanade. The driver cum tour guide Rohan was very organised , friendly and excellent in his knowledge and commentary . I went on a day that was seeing a bit of rain and still enjoyed so don’t be afraid of a little rain as it’s a rain forest after all. On the river cruise we saw a few crocs including a couple of babies lying on branches. The food from the restaurant for lunch was good, I had a beer for $11 a bit pricy but that’s a personal choice. The water creek to swim at is awesome, crystal clear emerald water. Even if it overcast if u come prepared do take the plunge it’s with it. Overall an amazing and very satisfying time had with great company!!!
Great day out. Adventure and crocodiles

5.00Great day out, comfy safari bus, AJ was a good guide and kept his commentary going. Plenty of crocs, interesting stops at rainforest and for meals. Recommended
Avoid unless you want to be herded like cattle and pay above average prices!

2.00Not worth the extra price! Go with another tour company! But Daintree the location is amazing. Billy Tea prices are higher than other operators but promise a small group experience (and several other things that they have changed but they have not updated the tour experience). While the tour is conducted in a “small bus” tour they had 3 lined up in a row so you might as well have been on a huge bus and paid the discount price. Not family friendly. Very long bathroom lines. Don’t believe the tour descriptions listed. They have changed several destinations since a storm they had in April but haven’t changed the descriptions. Also, because the group was so large, over half the time each stop was used up if you had to wait in line for the bathroom. Only bright spot was our knowledgeable guide, but you might as well pay a discount price for a big bus tour because you will be herded through and treated like cattle.
Wonderful

5.00Our guide - Rohan- was fantastic! He was extremely knowledgeable in all things Australia - from history, to wildlife, to forestry and industry. He kept us engaged the whole trip despite the long rides from/ to Cairns. Lunch was delicious - a surprising wonderful menu to choose from. Seeing the crocodiles and a cassowary were the highlights but also enjoyed the views, the ice cream and the nature/ beach walks. Highly recommend and if you get Rohan you’re in for a great guide!
Spotted a cassowary

4.00Great day trip to daintree rainforest and cape tribulation. Spotted many crocodiles on the boat ride and got lucky enough to spot a cassowary as well on the way back to daintree ferry crossing. Only downside is if you are sitting in the very last seat of the bus it is very bumpy especially once in the forest area.
Do this tour!!!

5.00A must do in the North! My guide, Mark, was friendly, helpful, and really knowledgeable about the area. He answered countless questions and made the experience wonderful for everyone. This tour packs SO much into a long day - from a river cruise to swimming, walks, and lots of photo opportunities, you really get a lot out of the day. The small group size makes it fun to get to know people, especially as a solo traveler. The coffee, lunch, and ice cream are terrific!! 10/10 recommend this tour!!
Fun trip, well worth the price!
