  • A Relaxed Experience

    We booked a Daintree Rainforest day tour through Viator, operated by Billy Tea Safaris. Overall, it was a relaxed and well-paced tour, combining a river crossing, short rainforest walk, scenic lookouts, beach time, and lunch. Itinerary & Experience 7:10 a.m. – Pick-up from hotel 9:15 a.m. – Daintree River Ferry (about 1 hour); we were fortunate to spot a couple of crocodiles Boarded the bus on the other side of the river Stop at Walu Wugirriga Lookout 11:30 a.m. – Lunch stop (with an optional swim in a nearby pool). Vegetarian options included pasta and a veg patty 12:30 p.m. – Back on the bus Madja Botanical Walk – A 1.2 km easy rainforest walk, informative and unhurried Drive to Cape Tribulation with about 30 minutes at the beach 2:15 p.m. – Back on the bus Ice-cream stop en route Return drive to Cairns, including a river crossing from the bus itself Before 6:00 p.m. – Drop-off at hotel This tour offered an introduction to the Daintree, with a comfortable mix of travel, light walking, scenery, and food breaks. It is not a must-do if time is limited, but it is a good option if you have an additional day in Cairns and prefer a relaxed, senior-friendly itinerary without strenuous activities.

  • Not my thing, little value added.

    After serveral guided tours in Queensland I have to say, this is not my favorite one. I do not see any benefit from that guided tour compared to driving up by my own. A lot of random stories (too much talking) in the bus during the drive and not so much information on the boardwalks, so where is the benefit the guide brings? If you join anyway, please make sure you are not the last to catch the bus, as the bench row in the back of the van is only for hobbits. Sorry to say, but this tour wasn't my thing.

  • Beautiful Daintree

    Our trip to the Daintree Forest and Cape Tribulation was a good one. John, our guide, was very knowledgeable and focused on ensuring our comfort. We appreciate the fact that he was willing to guide us around his backyard.

    Very informative and fun tour guide .guide. Warren (Waza,). He told us all about the wildlife, the crocodile stories very good. He was very friendly and helpful. A true blue Aussie is what we like. The meal was delicious, especially the grilled barramundi. Would recommend this tour again.

    Andrew was the best tour guide we could have asked for. He showed people the things they wanted to see and talked about specifics of what people were curious about. super engaging and helpful. tour teaches you a lot of information about australia's history and the native wildlife. (and the ice cream was delicious)

  • Must do experience whilst in Cairns for a Daintree Rainforest experience.

    Rowan was amazing very knowledgeable and we had a great day. Loved the day we had and our tour, it was a tad drissley on the day we had our tour but we didn't let that stop us from heading out, Rowan was very upbeat and energised and didn't dwell on the rainy day. Rowan took the time to explain the region along the drive and also the history, we were lucky enough to spot a croc during our river cruise! Rowan made us feel like one of his mates and showed us everything he could given the unfortunate weather conditions on the day and was happy to assist with answering questions if we had any. Thankyou so much for a wonderful day. We will definitely be recommending Billy Tea Safaris to anyone heading to Cairns and wanting to head to the Daintree / Cape Tribulation. Highly recommend. Thank you.

  • Worst Tour

    This is the worst tour that I had ever been. This was not a rainy day , this was a storm. They did not cancelled the tour and we end up not being able to have lunch because the restaurant have been flooded and the walking tours where very difficult with this weather conditions. This lloks more like a storm than a rainy day. No waster availability and they continue the tour not taking into account any of this putting us through a terrible experience.
