Great Experience Despite Weather – Excellent Service & Guide

5.00Even with challenging weather, this tour turned out to be a fantastic experience. Due to heavy rainfall, part of the itinerary had to be cancelled—but the operator handled it exceptionally well. They offered a full refund or the option to continue with a half-day tour at 50%, which we really appreciated. We chose the half-day, and it was absolutely worth it. We still had the chance to walk through the rainforest, take in the incredible scenery, and even spot crocodiles—an unexpected highlight! Our guide, Grant, made the day. He was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to making sure everyone still had a great experience despite the change in plans. His attitude and effort really stood out and made the tour memorable. While the weather was out of anyone’s control, the professionalism, flexibility, and overall experience were excellent. I would absolutely recommend this tour company and would gladly book with them again.
Exceptional experience with a knowledgeable tour guide

5.00We originally had a whole day tour booked of Mossman Gorge, the daintree river cruise and Cape Tribulation but unfortunately it had to be cut short due to the weather. However because of our tour guide Chris, we still ended up having a fantastic time. Chris was so knowledgable about all the kinds of wildlife and plants we could see in the rainforest, and took his time showing us around and getting photos for us which was nice as a lot of tours can feel rushed. The company that Tony’s tropical tours chose to take us on the Daintree river cruise were also fantastic and we were lucky enough to see 4 crocodiles in the wild! We didn’t get to see Cape Tribulation but the day that Chris managed to give us more than made up for it, thank you Chris!
Oh well I will have to return

5.00Due to all the rain and the Ferry being put out of commission they contacted me to offer a alternate 1/2 day tour. A refund of half the fare was quickly organised and received. The day started with a Mossman Gorge walk and talk. Our guide was very knowledgeable and full of information on anything Port Douglas and surrounds. Mossman Gorge is stunning and a beautiful part of the world to visit. We then went on to our croc adventure tour which was successful with several crocs seen sunbathing on the banks. So I will just have to go back and see the Daintree another time as if I needed an excuse to visit this amazing place again.
Had a shortened tour...

5.00Had a shortened tour given the ferry was taken out. Adam did a great job showing us what we could see this side of the river. Really enjoyed it!
Excellent tour company

5.00Firstly, I would like to thank the company and Gemma, for not cancelling the tour altogether. We understand that the full day tour could not take place as the ferry across the Daintree River had been severely damaged in the recent flooding, preventing access to Cape Tribulation. We were contacted a couple of days before the tour offering a full refund or a 50% refund as they would still be able to run a morning tour. Communication was great, so thanks again! Randal was our guide and was very considerate to our group of 4 Brits and 4 Americans, as the weather conditions were still quite challenging due to the rain. Randal really knows his area and was able to spot wildlife and knew exactly what creatures he had spotted. We walked through the beautiful Mossman Gorge and had a river cruise on The Daintree and managed to see 2 female crocodiles and a baby, despite being told we were out on the river in the worst possible conditions. A very good, well organised tour and company and would definitely recommend.
Lovely rainforest day trip

5.00we enjoyed our day in the rainforest . Recent flooding meant we were not able to complete the entire day tour we had hoped for, but we enjoyed the Mossman Gorge walk and crocodile search in the Daintree River. Our tour guide, Grant, was a wonderful conversationalist and his knowledge of his subject as well as current affairs was much appreciated. We really liked the small group setting. Many spiders were seen, but not as many birds as I had hoped for. Still, a beautiful all-morning outing.

5.00An excellent well paced day full of variety and most ably led by Adam who was unfailingly good humoured , informative and conscientious. He made the trip really stand out. The group was small enough for interaction, the lunch and its location very good. It was disappointing that we were unable to swim but the conditions were beyond the trips.’s control and showed concern for our safety.
Amazing experience
