Amazing double tour, huge value for money with great guides
This double tour was amazing!
The first day we did Atherton Tablelands, saw Lake Eacham, which was gorgeous, had several occasions to swim and the day just flew by! Kristina was great, friendly and very knowledgeable about everything.
The second day we did the Daintree and Cape Tribulation, we first did a smoking ceremony then a river cruise during which we saw no less than SIX crocodiles (!!!), then ventured into the forest and saw a cassowary! Our guide was Chandan who was also very knowledgeable and managed everything very well.
I would highly recommend this option, it's very good value for money.

The worst ever! Terrible. Waited 3 hours and no one showed up.
My first call with them was painful. They didn’t seem like they knew what they were doing so I called a dozen times after that to double check everything. 24hrs prior to the trip, I called several times to confirm our pick up time and location and they said it’s all good…we waited 3 hours for them to pick us up and no one came!! They couldn’t even tell me why and they had no explanation. Awful organisation, honestly the worst. I would not book here!!!
Operator response

Amazing!
Loved every minute! Went down my first ever waterslide, and it was a waterfall :0
The tour guide was really fun and energetic, got us moving in the tour bus to fun songs and the waterfalls and hot spots were really pretty.
