Jurassic park tour

A truly incredible experience, recommended for any human with a soul. Our guide Dale was informative, engaging and has a wicked sense of humour. It was a fact filled experience in a relaxed environment. Big ups to the team and again, shout out to Dale for being such a legend and real asset to the team. Thanks guys

Fantastic day with our amazing guide Stu :)))

Overall, the day was amazing but it wouldn’t have been such a great experience without our hilarious and entertaining guide, Stu. We highly recommend this trip… and we saw scare face (a crocodile!!).

Best tour guide experience

The Mossman Gorge was okay. The river cruise was a waste of time and uncomfortable seating in the boat. Lunch was good. Cape Tribulation was good. But what really made the day was Damien our tour guide and driver. He was a very knowledgeable and informative person. Best tour guide to date.
