We had a really informative tour of Daintree & Cape Tribulation. It turns out there are dangerous plants and critters around, and I'm glad we had a guide to point them out! No worries - we were completely safe the whole time. It was a long day and the agenda was packed. Breaks for tea, lunch, and ice cream were nice. The food was all very good and in beautiful settings. The ice cream store has delicious non-dairy options if you need, and you can buy Daintree Tea there for a much better price than in town. Another benefit of going on a tour is meeting people from all over. We had a small group, which was nice. I highly recommend this tour versus trying to do it on your own.
Beautiful comfortable coach with excellent seats; Very informative guide in all matters; Excellent itinary with no additional costs
Adrian H was fantastic. Fun sense of humor and very knowledgeable and informative.
Amazing experience, shoutout to the guide Adrian, he will tells you the best Queensland stories…
A great day! Full itinerary making sure you get to all the sights. Great guide with loads of local knowledge and stories. Would have liked to have a little more free time at some of the stops, but appreciate this tour had a packed itinerary.
We did this tour on our recent trip to Cairns and it was awesome! Reece was an amazing tour guide, very friendly and had a lot of local knowledge (and jokes) about the region. There are a bunch of highlight stops so you see a lot of different aspects of the area including Daintree rainforest walks, Cape tribulation, Mossman Gorge and lookout spots plus some quick views of Palm Cove and Port Douglas. There is also a river cruise where we spotted crocodiles and got to see a lot of blue Ulysses butterflies while we were waiting for the boat. We were also fortunate enough to see a cassowary which was a definite highlight of the day. It was a long day but we felt that was a huge positive because we really got our money’s worth and it was super easy with hotel pick up and drop off. 10/10 recommend.
The Tour was absolutely AMAZING!!! Scott our guide made the experience so much better. His knowledge and stories were awesome. We learnt a lot honestly. Everything about the tour was excellent. Definitely recommend if you’d like to see the Daintree and Mosman Gorge in style…travel with Down Under Tours. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
We hit all the highlights in the area! As a local himself, our guide, Scott, shared lots of stories about the area and was well versed on the entire region.
Truly excellent tour, rich in history, curiosities, and legends about the local population, flora, and fauna. A wonderful experience on the Daintree River, lunch in the rainforest, delicious tropical gelato, and a beautiful visit to Cape Tribulation Beach. It is truly worth it; the guide was fantastic. There is also the option of an audio guide.
Great tour with delicious food and many impressions of the incredible nature
