This tour was filled with different places to go and see!! Our guide John was very knowledgeable and shared so much detail at all the stops!! Lunch was good too!!!
Good guide nice day out. The guide was a nice man and explained a lot. Thank you very much.
Wonderful day full of activities. A very complete and very well-prepared program. The guide Sam was spectacular.
Leila was a great tour guide, involved with heart and passion, and knew an incredible amount. A tour with her is highly recommended.
What an amazing way to spend a day exploring one of Australia’s spectacular areas. Noel our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and vivacious. She is passionate about this area and we couldn’t think of anyone better equipped to run this tour. We fell asleep with a full heart and smiles on our faces.
We enjoyed our time on the tour but as a family with small children, it was long, low on activities and high on driving time, and there weren’t a lot of opportunities for engagement. I can say, our guide was a great driver, the boat guide was phenomenal and spotted LOTS of crocodiles and wildlife, and the optional ice cream was really fantastic. Overall, it was a pricey day and I’m not sure with small kids, we would do it again.
What a fabulous day. John, our guide was a local Cairns resident so was incredibly, informative about the region, held a great sense of humour and ensured we all had a great day. It's a very full day as it involves the drive to the Daintree region, river crossing and river tour (we saw 3 crocs), a walk through the rainforest and finally Mossman Gorge (where you can swim after the Welcome to Country) Lunch was delicious and as for the ice cream trip (yum!) Only tips I've give would be to ensure you are wearing your bathers if you want to swim in the gorge as there are no changing facilities next to the water and after lunch quickly visit the beach at Cape Trib before the bus departs.
Had to give this five stars as I couldn’t think of anything negative about the day. The views and experiences were amazing, the tour was organised and efficient. I’ve been on several tours this week and this was the only one where the included food was actually quality and delicious. Make sure you take swimmers so you can go for a dip at Mossman Gorge, it is stunningly beautiful. If you are travelling with kids who don’t do long bus rides well, this might not be for you. There are frequent stops but it’s a big distance covered so a couple of long stretches of driving.
Cheers for the love! We had a blast showing you around the tropics. Until the next adventure!
Very well organised day, everything went smoothly. We were lucky with wildlife and were able to spot crocodiles, casoere and other birds. Pilvi our tour guide was great. She looked perfectly after us, always available for any questions or needs. And her positive energy was very enjoyable.
Thanks heaps! Nothing we love more than happy adventurers. See you next round!
Our guide Roger was excellent, so much knowledge about everything we visited.
We're thrilled you enjoyed your time with us :)
