Traveler Reviews

The whole day was fantastic Tom our guide was very informative and made it fun. Some very beautiful lookouts and sights

What a fantastic day! We were picked up from our hotel by Jordan, he’s friendly, great sense of humour and is very knowledgeable. This trip was a great ‘taster’ of everything that the Daintree Rainforest, Cape Tribulation and Mossman Gorge has to offer. The tour keeps moving but you have ample time to explore each location. The smoking ceremony, welcome to country and bush tucker was a very special experience. Daintree River cruise was relaxing, saw a crocodile which was great. The walk through the forest and down to the beach was an easy walk and the beach was just spectacular. Throughout the day Jordan was always available to answer questions or give explanations of just have a chat. Lunch was in a beautiful location, was a big serve and tasted great. We took our children 10 and 7 on the tour. Jordan was patient with our youngest who asked lots of questions throughout the day. The ice cream shop was yum! Overall we had an amazing day! Long day for our kids but they had a snooze on t

Swimming in Mosman Gorge with the kids(7 and 8) was a life long memory. Walking through the Daintree was really fun and a very knowledgeable guide.

It was such a wonderful and joyful trip. The tour guide is really enthusiastic in telling the group information about the place.

The welcome smoke ceremony at Mossman Gorge felt special, and the rest of the day did not disappoint. A refreshing swim at the Gorge was followed by a croc cruise which, despite the lack of croc sightings, was worthwhile! The Daintree ice cream was amazing!! Our guide, Carlos was excellent, and kept us well-informed and entertained. So much fun, even the squeaky bus!
