Daintree River Cruise
These guys are great, tour guide Graeme was at the hotel at 7am and provided an exceptional service all day, driving, guiding, taken us out on walks and was all to happy to answer any of our questions and help in any other way he could

Beautiful Daintree, Crocs & Icecream
This was such a fantastic experience. Anyone looking for local knowledge, a taste of everything the daintree has to offer and great value for money - book this tour! AJ was fantastic. He was so passionate, knowledgeable and patient with my 11 year olds eternal questions. Professional tour without feeling like a churn and burn business ❤️

Full - day off adventure in the magical Daintree
Fabulous day out with our guide Graeme! Graeme took good care of us from pick- up to drop-off. He provided knowledgeable commentary as he drove us around in air-conditioned comfort. We packed in a lot in this full- day tour but we didn't feel the time pressure with Graeme organising us. Highlights were spotting cassowaries in the wild! Including a father with chicks! (Super lucky to see such rarely sighted animals twice on this trip.), the river cruise with crocodiles, Daintree Icecream Company and having a dip in some croc-free water in the Daintree.

A taste of the Rainforest and the Cape but Wow to the Crocs
While i would recommend this trip , it is very much just a whistle stop tour of all the sights, the longest time was spent at lunch and the ice cream shop. It does give you an overview of that you could do at a later time on your own. What really made this trip was the boat ride and the crocodile experience that was fantastic.

Amazing Company
The driver AJ was amazing. He was briefing us all the way about places,plants and everything. A very friendly and patient person.

Great experience of the worlds oldest rainforest
The tour was great, each stage was a great different experience within the Daintree. Our tour guide Graeme was very knowledgeable and answered all questions. The highlight was seeing a wild crocodile (Scarface) on the river. The tour is well suited for anyone willing to learn the diverse animals, trees and plants which make up the rainforest.
