The tour is worth it!
The tropic wings tour was educational, fantastic and definitely worth on your visit to Cairns. The tropic wings tour guide alongside the croc tour and wildlife habitat guide were all extremely professional and knowledgeable of the Daintree and the inhabitants. Would do again!
Operator response
Thanks so much for the great review! We’re really glad you enjoyed the tour and found the day both interesting and worthwhile. It’s especially lovely to hear our driver-guide and the guides along the way helped bring the Daintree and its wildlife to life for you. Thanks again for recommending Tropic Wings!

A Great Day Tour:- Cape Tribulation, Daintree and Wildlife
My spouse and I spent a Great Day on A Tropic Winds Trip ...
Cape Tribulation, Daintree and Wildlife - with Guide/Driver Rick!
We'd been looking forward to this trip since our middle son had visited there a couple of years ago!
In our opinion this trip was extremely well organised and included Morning Tea, Lunch & Ice Cream in the afternoon.
The driver (Rick) was a font of knowledge including many subjects whose names I can't even pronounce. But his knowledge of Cane and Cane-fields plus Captain Cook's Aussie voyage tallied with my 1950's schooling memories!
His stories of Croc attacks matched with locales we were passing, same with newly discovered Stick Insects in Daintree.
We visited a magnificent Wild life & Bird habitat where I had this extremely attractive "bird" come up to me and nibbled on my bottom lip ...
On the way home we got to see several the "wild" counterparts of AUD$60,000 handbags sunning themselves on the river banks. (Ask Rick!)
All in all - a long but wonderful experience!
Thanks to all those who contributed to our enjoyment.
