Yes what a fantastic day ! Thankyou for your wonderful review...
Amazing experience with an awesome, friendly guide. The hike and swim were beautiful and calm, as this is the only tour with access to this waterfall. Lunch at the teahouse was delicious, especially the tropical fruit tasting. Highly recommend!
Thankyou so much Lauren, i'm very happy you enjoyed the lovely day !!
Overall an enjoyable outing. The highlight of our day was swimming in the very fresh water at the waterfall. Our guide, Alister was friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. The lunch was satisfactory.
Thank you very much Bernadette, glad you enjoyed a great day in the rainforest!
Had a wonderful rain forest experience, including a lunch with local produce and kangaroo/baromondi. Enjoyed a private tour guide, Allister, who shared stories of the local area, and provided a personal experience…joining us for a hike through the forest, and a destination to a private waterfall and swimming hole. Very personal and private, an exclusive location definitely worth the trip. The waterfall was amazing, and the location is very private. My wife and I, and the tour guide. Shared this experience all to ourselves. Highly recommend!!
That's wonderful to hear! Thanks very much for your lovely review, i'm so glad you enjoyed a great day in the rainforest.
Good and inspiring guiding and just the most perfect swim underneath the waterfall. We loved it
Thankyou so much Viktor, i'm very happy you had a wonderful day !
We had a really nice and relaxed day on this Daintree Jungle tour. Trying unique local fruits was a great experience — first at the teahouse and later freshly picked straight from the trees, which made it feel very authentic. The walk to the waterfall was impressive, and our guide was very friendly and informative without being overwhelming. Overall, a well-organized and enjoyable tour that we would recommend.
Thankyou so much Dominik, glad you enjoyed a lovely day in the rainforest !
Our tour guide Alister was very friendly and informative regarding the Rainforest. We started the tour with an early lunch including a tropical fruit selection. Very prepared, lending us ponchos for the rain! He had a lot of knowledge of the plants and trees. We ended up in the waterfall where we could swim.
Thankyou so much for your lovely review. Glad you had a great day in the rainforest !
This has been a thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing day with Allister and a family from America. Allister is an extremely engaging individual, who provides excellent company, plenty of information on the area, the rainforest, and himself and his family. An added bonus is his access to a wonderfully private waterfall and associated pool in the rainforest in which the small group of us swam and relaxed. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Allister as a first class guide and excellent company for a day in a wonderful area.
Thankyou so very much for your lovely review ! I'm glad you enjoyed your day in the rainforest.
Allister picked us up at the Port Douglas port at the agreed on time and we were then taken in a comfortable air-conditioned van to a wonderful lunch in an open air restaurant. Local delicacies were explained by the host and a delicious meal followed. After lunch we were driven to a private private property that contained a tropical fruit orchard . As we walked upriver through the rainforest, the wilderness was stunningly quiet except for the songs of birds. We stopped often during the walk to listen to Allister's talk about we were seeing. His passion and knowledge of the rainforest and love of this environment was obvious. Safety was always ensured as he pointed out possible hazards before we reached them. As the temperature & humidity were both high. Then our Reward came – fresh cold water coming down the waterfall. Time to hit the water!
Fantastic !! Thankyou so much for your wonderful description of our day in the rainforest Brenda !!
Wonderful trip! Allister was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us a solid understanding of the Daintree environment. We had a beautiful and delicious lunch and tasted tropical fruits, some of which we had never tasted before. The hike to the waterfall was easy and the swim was a welcome reward. We didn’t want to leave the waterfall. Highly recommend this small group personalised tour.
So glad you enjoyed your walk to the waterfall, thankyou very much for the lovely review !
