Enjoyable & informative day out.
We thoroughly enjoyed our Daintree, Cape Tribulation & Mossman Gorge trip. Dale was a great tour guide - very informative and entertaining. He helped to bring the rainforest walk to life, pointing various things out and providing information on how the rainforest sustains itself. Morning coffee and snacks at Cape Tribulation beach were very nice as was lunch at the Heritage Lodge. A well planned tour which gave us plenty of time at each stop.

Zip line and crocs with Melanie
This was an excellent tour, treetop zip line people were the best. Melanie our driver was excellent, lunch was superb. Saw a couple of crocs on the river.

The best port Douglas experience
This was an immaculate experience, the tour guide (Dale) was so knowledgeable, safe, and friendly to all the guests. Of my group of 10 people, 2 families. This is something I will look back on forever. For an all day experience from a tea/ coffee at the beach to crocodile viewing or ziplining, with some ice cream after it was well worth the amount. I can’t describe how great Dale was.
Operator response
What wonderful feedback Sherpa, your kind words are very much appreciated. Thanks for the recommendation of our Ultimate Daintree tour.

Just book it! Best way to see Daintree NP!
JUST BOOK IT!
Reasons to NOT self-drive to Daintree NP:
1. Traffic patterns are unpredictable, including the ferry, single-lane passes and possible road flooding.
2. Cell service/navigation is zero in many spots.
3. You miss out on learning all there is about the region and history.
4. On holiday, everyone deserves a stress-free "just a passenger" day.
Reasons to book THIS tour:
1. Guides know the best spots for food, snacks and toilets!
2. Guides understand inherent safety guidelines (crocs, deadly plants, weather)
3. Daintree Tours/Calypso (via Viator) did an amazing job predicting what we would need for the day, how to make the most of our time, and tailor the stops just for our group.
4. Everything was so easy and simple, we got to ENJOY this magical experience!

Terrific Tour! Couldn’t ask for more! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our family of 5 (kids 19,17,14) took the guided tour to the rainforest, with a delightful morning tea en route, at the majestic and unspoilt Cape Tribulation beach. Then it was time for a terrific treetop zip lining adventure. The staff were friendly and patient taking small groups flying through the treetops. Lots of fun and not too scary! Views were magnificent. This was followed by a plentiful and sumptuous lunch at a local charming restaurant with a chance for a swim in a beautiful watering hole. To end the tour we boarded a rustic boat to cruise with Ernie the crocodile whisperer, whose tour of the mangroves was authentic and optimistic even in the off season. A huge shout out to Dale our main guide whose knowledge and stories of the area were a perfect combination of information and entertainment. A great day was had by all! 💯 recommend this tour.

Superb Day Trip
Steve our guide was bursting with enthusiasm and knowledge to share, making this one of the most fascinating, thought provoking and informative trips we have ever had.
We loved the zip lining, lunch, swim and cruise where we saw a saltwater crocodile.
Superb and well worth the money.
