5.00Great Family Friendly Tour. Sadly we didn’t get to see the giant birds known as the Cassowary that day (that’s just how nature be) but our guide did a great job pointing out out wildlife to the group whenever possible.

5.00John was amazing, the tour and humour. He made me feel so comfortable about travelling solo. Fully recommend Bill Tea Safaris for all kinds of characters. If you get John, you won’t regret it.

5.00Fabulous experience with our guide AJ. So much knowledge especially of bush tucker/flora etc.Suggest DO NOT book this tour via agent 'HeadOut' ...they totally messed up our booking and made an otherwise great day really stressful (wrong pick up) . Please book directly with Billy Tea Safaris, forget the 3rd party agents.
Must see the oldest rainforest in the world!

5.00Beautiful rainforest and coastal drive. The specialty ice cream was wonderful as well. James was a fabulous guide- has lived in the area for decades and really knows and loves the Daintree area. He kept us well informed the entire day. Group size was nice, not too big. Plenty of bathroom stops and no strenuous walking. Note the Tripadvisor site says 7 hours but it was 11 hours. Overall we highly recommend.
Rude driver/tour guide overpacked tour

2.00Never leave negative reviews but want to be clear you should go with another company. The van is overpacked with shocks that need to be worked on making the car ride through windy rounds rough with shoulder to shoulder space on mountain roads. The driver is rude, he refused elderly lady next to me wbo I’m shoulder to shoulder with the opportunity to sit next to him in open seat. The driver 15-minutes late from pickup point, initially ignored me, said I had the wrong day, was about to drive off, and I showed him receipts again—he had my name wrong in his system. He rushed us, made unprofessional comments throughout the tour, and drove crazy. The river cruise tourguide was great, would recommend going with another company.

5.00Me and my partner did the day tour and had an excellent experience. AJ the tour guide was so enthusiastic and was a brilliant host. We learnt so much about the daintree, its wildlife and conservation. The trip itself was very well planned out, with many stops along the way including a river boat cruise where we saw crocodiles, we stopped at a creek for a swim and the lunch was delicious. The ice cream tasting was a lovely end to the day. Couldn’t recommend this tour enough.
A fantastic day!

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!
