A memorable experience that I highly recommend - Highly recommended this full day tour, our host Peer made it a very memorable day as he took the time to explain an emerse us in the beautiful Daintree Forest and all it has to offer. Then on to spotting crocodiles and a very knowledgeable cruise along the Daintree River. Then a spot of barra fishing and information along with a scrumptious lunch at the Barra Farm. And then a private tour of a fruit farm with our own private waterfal experience and swim, what a magical and memorable experience thank you

One of a kind experience - Our full day tour included a guided walk through beautiful Mossman Gorge, a Daintree River cruise, lunch at Hook-a-Barra, and an afternoon swim at a beautiful waterfall behind a fruit orchard. We saw lots of birds, butterflies, crocs, and unique rainforest plants. Our guide Matthew was personable, knowledgeable and entertaining (the cow jokes were udder groaners!). Thanks for giving us a memorable day as a family without tourist gimmicks and letting us have a taste of this unique and beautiful area.

taste of paradise - This trip is really a taste of paradise and hidden gem . Our local guide was Peer who was very friendly and informative. The tour gives you a feel for the Daintree forest and its surroundings . It finishes with a visit to a beautiful local farm on the edge of the rain forest with a dip at a hidden waterfall. To top off the day you get to taste some exotic fresh organic fruit from the farm . A great day and good value for money .

Outstanding and Exceptional - Outstanding! This tour catered for our family and really opened our eyes to some beautiful places and people. Peer was our tour guide, apart from his exceptional local knowledge who lives and breathes this part of the world, he also offered great personal service and to top it off at a private waterfall, just made this experience a very memorable day.
