We had Clinton as a guide on our Cape Tribulation tour, he was excellent, very knowledgeable and friendly, highly recommend tour
It was a good experience, well organized. We especially enjoied the company of our guide Tim. He was kind and nice, we feeled that he cares about the good result of the day. Marco e Claudia
Excellent tour. Driver and guide Luke very informative. Especially in rainforest. Skipper who took the smoke ceremony was so passionate about his culture and we can learn so much about its medicinal properties. TripAdvisor should correct pick up as we where told 7am and contacted tour providers direct having waited till 7-20 to be told its 7-30 and TripAdvisor give 7am as generic time
Lots of driving, I know its a long way but not enough attractions and at times rushed when we were at the attractions. Would have liked a bit more of the Indigenous cultural stuff at the Mossman Gorge Centre, didn't even have time for the gift shop 🙄
Great set of spots and an incredibly entertaining and informative guide, Adrian Hazel! Got to see a bit of everything, get some great pics, and learn a ton of history! Had a great time!
We had a great day with our guide! She knew how to take us along with her on this day! We will always remember the landscapes, crocodiles, and the atmosphere of this forest!
The place was amazing. the guide , luc, is really good, and kind and proffesional.
Wohoo we are so glad to hear you hadf a blast on our Daintree Rainforest Tour and hope we'll see you for your next adventure soon!
Fun excursion with three different activities with a nice driver/guide who gave a lot of extra information.
Thanks for the amazing review! We hope to see you back soon:)
Fantastic day, looked after by our guide/driver Roger. He kept us supplied with lots of information (and awful jokes!) while journeying from Cairns. Saw some nice big crocs on the cruise, as well as a small young one. Lunch was simple - choice of burritos or bowls - but was very good and generous portions. The rainforest walk at Daintree was lovely - no cassowaries sadly, but plenty of peppermint stick insects! Mossman Gorge was beautiful and a few of our group braved swimming in the river. The beach at Cape Tribulation was simply stunning. Our group of 21 voted unanimously to stop for ice-cream (own expense) and we were glad we did as it was delicious. The tour was excellent value for money for a very full 11 hour day. Many thanks to Roger for making it such a great day.
Wow thanks for such an amazing review. We are thrilled to hear you had an amazing day on our Daintree Rainforest Tour and got to see some crocs, it means the world to our guides who put a whole lot of heart into making our tours amazing days out. We hope to see you back soon!
I think this experience is the best you can ask for with only a single day's worth of time. Our guide, Luke, was so enthusiastic about each spot we visited, the wildlife, and the history. We had the chance to visit & swim at Mossman Gorge, take a crocodile spotting boat ride down the river, take a walk through a section of the Daintree Rainforest, and walk on the beach of Cape Tribulation. Each stop was very quick and a little hurried, but like I said that was expected with only a 1 day trip. The time in between was usually filled with Luke sharing some fun facts. My advice: If your schedule allows, try to stay in the Daintree overnight to get a more in depth look. Bring a rain jacket with you if rain is forecasted! Get the 4 flavor signature cup of ice cream at the Daintree Ice Cream stop. I didn't think I was going to like the flavors, but turns out it was the BEST ice cream I've had in my entire 1 month trip up the East coast of Australia. Bring a change of dry clothes if you plan to swim at Mossman (you should). The quick schedule won't allow you time to dry.
Wohoo thank you for the amazing review. We are so thrilled that you had a blast on our Daintree Rainforest Tour. There is nothing we love more than happy adventurers and we hope you will come back for your next adventure soon!
