My partner and I had a fantastic day, we saw 3 crocs, 1 alpha male and 2 juveniles. A green tree snake, 3 green frogs, a skink and another beautiful lizard, some bush Turkey things and while we didn't get it on camera a cassowary which was amazing to see in the wild, he was almost bush Tucker! running in front of our van. Cute little red mud crabs, lots of orb spiders and green ants! Such a fab day all thanks to our wonderful and knowledgeable guide Lawrence. Some amazing landscapes to see along the way and at each of the stops we had. Highly recommend and the best thing we did on our trip to Cairns.
A great experience for kids snd adults with precision timing and scheduling to maximise things to do in one day. Our guide Danny was knowledgeable and funny.
Jim, our guide was brilliant! Super knowledgable and really cared about ensuring the best experience for each individual group member. The day was long but you didn’t even realise it as there were so many beautiful stops along the way! Lots of lovely people in our small group to share travel and life stories with. Loved it and would highly recommend, especially if you’re lucky enough to get Jim as your guide.
From beginning to end, it was a day to remember. The Daintree Rainforest was ancient and amazing, and swimming in the Mossman Gorge was cool and refreshing. Lunch was delicious! It was fun looking for crocs and learning their names. Cape Trib was breathtaking and the ice cream was yummy. Best of all was our guide Michelle, who made the day what it was. She was so funny and knowledgeable and really loves what she does. She is the best!
Jim /James our driver and tour guide was great, good knowledge and information all throughout our trip and also a good laugh at the same time we would definitely recommend going on this small 14 person tour
