Traveler Reviews

If you do this trip without Darryl as your guide, you're on the wrong bus !! Darryl's knowledge of everything on the trip was first class and nothing was too much trouble. A very enjoyable day indeed.

Tour was action packed, travelled to port Douglas for quick photo opportunity then onto Mossman gorge which was the highlight of the trip especially swimming in the gorge ( would although loved more time to swim ) suggest to tour operators maybe lengthening time allowed and shortening the lunchtime fruit spiel. Daintree rainforest beautiful well worth the trip. Great value for money; Mick tour guide/driver was extremely informative, very knowledgeable about the region.

Steve was an amazing guide for the day! He really made sure everyone was well looked after and was enjoying our time. He was very knowledgeable and we really learnt a lot with this day trip. Highly recommend this tour!

I varied day led by a very informative guide. Good introduction to the rain forest with many spots to relax an enjoy the calm.

We thoroughly enjoyed this day in the Daintree Rainforest and on the Daintree River. A definite highlight was the Solar Whisper Crocodile and Wildlife cruise where we saw crocodiles and birds in their natural habitat. The small group was great and our overall guide Shane was knowledgeable and helpful.

Beautiful view from Alexandra Lookout
