Brilliant tour, guides, and value for money! - Brilliant tour, guides, and value for money! From knowledgeable guides during the croc spotting cruise to lunch in the majestic and magical Daintree rainforest, and then ice creamery. Could not recommend this enough! Thanks to Andy too, for the informative drive! :-)

Graeme: Thanks for being the guide for the day… - Graeme was an excellent guide and an operator. You can’t expect anything more. If there is a better word than ‘ Fantastic’ that is the word I would like to use . Graeme also liked to be called as ‘G’ , thank you from me and all my family….

Cassowary, Crocs, Critters and sCenery. - We had an amazing day. Got to experience the 4 C's of the Daintree, Cassowary, Crocs, Critters and sCenery. Our guide Graeme was very knowledgeable and kept us informed throughout the trip about relevant geographical, historical and flora and fauna details. I think he needs to update his joke book though (LOL).

Great trip to Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation! - An absolutely fantastic day all round! The ice cream was a personal favourite, as I was not expecting it to be so delicious! All locally grown fruits and incredibly unique flavours.
The drives along the coast and through the rainforest areas were spectacular and our guide Andy had a lot of knowledge about the Daintree Rainforest that he shared with us all. I would also like to thank Daniel for providing great conversation on the journey back from Cape Tribulation and helping me get to the airport in time for my flight. I don’t know if he will see this, but I am very grateful and would love for him to know.
This is a fantastic tour and absolutely worth the money. I can’t wait to bring a friend next time I’m in Cairns!

The day was... - The day was well-organized but our tour guide, Andy, put a damper on the day. He came across as if he was bored and disinterested during the tour. Although the sights were beautiful, I would not recommend the tour due to the tour guide my group was assigned.

Not recommended for families. - Sorry to say folks but this tour is not at all like their website advertised. There was no mention of the extra long waiting time at road works (an extra 30mins both ways) and the balance of bus ride time compared to activity time. The guide was robotic and unfriendly, seemingly bored and indifferent with customers. I would not recommend this for families with young children. My 8yr old had a miserable time.
Best part was the crocodile tour, ice cream and lunch stop. The rainforest boardwalk can be accessed for free from the road side if you hire your own car. I did not feel it was value for money. The best part of the day was getting dropped back to Palm Cove.

Disappointed - Missed the trip - We were never picked up at the correct pick up point, and missed the trip we were looking forward to. When I phoned Billy’s 15 minutes after pick up time, they blamed the travel agency about wrong pick up destination, and was not interested in my suggestion about finding some local transportation for us, to pick up with our group. Disappointed!
