5.00Lawrence was very knowledgeable and attentive to our groups needs. By far our best excursion while visiting Australia! Not too far of a walk from our cruise port and he dropped us off back at the ship! Very memorable day! Thanks Lawrence!
All that we wanted and more

5.00Michelle gave us an amazing tour with my family! She was incredibly accommodating and knowledgeable! She helped when I started to feel sick, was flexible with our touring itinerary, and overall shared a ton of information about Australia/Cairns. It was such a unique experience and so much fun.
Every moment memorable !

5.00Steve was great! We didn’t have a lot of time in Cairns, so I booked the private half-day tour for my two adult, sons and myself. I am so glad I did! We saw highlights of the geography learned about the flora and fauna, and had a generally fantastic fun afternoon experience.
A great one!

5.00If you're wondering if you should visit the rainforest - stop. You should! The trip is nicely organized - you'll get to see the most interesting stuff in few hours. And if you'll get Simon as your guide - it's a double win! He's just great. Gives best insider tips, true and honest information about the region and Australia. Unbelivable fauna and flora knowledge and great sense of humour. Thanks!
Amazing Tour!

5.00Wow I was lucky enough to experience this amazing tour of the world’s oldest heritage rainforest I experienced this lush rainforest with beautiful creeks weaving through the terrain with gorgeous water falls and there was also board walk around one the oldest fig trees in world and to my surprise at the end of the board walk our wonderful tour guide Steve had a picnic basket prepared with tea & coffee and fresh Anzac biscuits it was a wonderful little treat to be able to enjoy a cuppa with this amazing fig tree in the rainforest, but with this tour you will also see Kuranda “before the tourists arrive” the far north farming region and our amazing outback. What made this tour so special and different from other tours was the simple fact they cater for small private groups and our tour guide Steve was truly amazing with his wealth of knowledge of the region and the forna was exceptional, he went out of his way to accommodate everyone’ s requests of things they wanted to see and do, and this is the only tour that I have been on that you have the flexibility to do that, and we were a group of 4 which was fantastic and when you visit sites there is no one else around because it is a heritage site there are only a couple of passes a year given out to tour companies so it is still in prestine condition, with only your little group. Overall this tour is a must see not only for tourists but for locals as well I have lived here for over 25 years and I there were so many places that I never knew existed on our tour today so a big thank you to everyone at Discovery Tours for giving taking pride in giving guests such a unique experience. Thank you Jo
