Anton was a legend! - Anton, our guide, was excellent! We packed SO much into the day, yet never felt rushed. Because of his approach, we waited patiently at the platypus viewing place and were rewarded with great performances by several of these elusive creatures. We loved the natural water slide and swimming under the 80 metre waterfall. Anton gave us just enough information and then answered all of our many questions. Finally, we had our own personal photographer, who had a much better zoom lens than we had, and faithfully recorded the day for us. I can strongly recommend Anton and Barefoot Tours.

Waterfalls - Huge thanks to our guide Anton for making this such an amazing day. It's hard to narrow down the best parts, but highlights were definitely swimming behind the waterfall at Millaa Millaa, watching the most adorable platypus swimming in his creek & learning so much about Australia's history & landscape from Anton. Definitely recommend this trip as a "must do" in Cairns. Top tip - bring goggles so you can see when under the waterfall & also to look at the fishes & freshwater turtles in Lake Eacham.

Great day out! - We had a great day. The guides were brilliant and lunch was ideal. We swam at all locations which was a lot of fun. Take a towel The walk to the boulders at the end was definitely worth doing too. It is a long day (in a good way) & there is quite a lot of driving but a lot of ground is covered and there are plenty of stops

Kind, safe and secure, reasonable price! - We went around safely and securely with a kind guide. It was rainy season, but it was a nice weather and we enjoyed a walk around the waterfall and the entrance to the rainforest.
