John was an amazing host. We had a smaller group which was great. John was very informative along the road trips between the sights. We had three opportunities to swim and went on some nice walks to lookouts to observe the falls etc. I could see how your experience could differ depending on your guide, the size of your group and also the weather. The weather wasn’t great for us but it didn’t deter our experience. We managed to see two cassowaries and a platypus. The lunch that was included was very average. I would rather have a reduced fee for the tour and purchased my own lunch from one of the nice villages we drove through or they should change the pub that they stop at. I would suggest taking your own lunch and snacks. Overall we enjoyed our day and would recommend it.

Our tour guide Carlos was not only amusing but very knowledgeable on the flora and fauna. He took the time to talk to us all and we had a great day out in spite of the weather.

We had an amazing time on this tour seeing all the beautiful waterfalls and rainforests. Our tour guide Carlos, went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable experience teaching us about the plants and the history of the places we saw. Such a fun day with a fun group of people :)

The whole day tour to a lake and 3 different waterfalls was great. Carlos, our bus driver and guide was super cool, he is so knowledgeable and kept us informed and entertained throughout the trip. My wife and I had one of the best times at Cairns. Carlos was so friendly and made sure we were safe while swimming in the falls area. Highly recommend this trip.

The scenery, vibe and group were incredible! Outstanding from the moment you get on the bus to when you’re on your way back. Carlos made the experience so much more fun and interesting. When in Cairns this tour is a no-brainer.
