Wonderful day long trip! - Our guide - Rohan- was fantastic! He was extremely knowledgeable in all things Australia - from history, to wildlife, to forestry and industry. He kept us engaged the whole trip despite the long rides from/ to Cairns. Lunch was delicious - a surprising wonderful menu to choose from. Seeing the crocodiles and a cassowary were the highlights but also enjoyed the views, the ice cream and the nature/ beach walks. Highly recommend and if you get Rohan you’re in for a great guide!

Do this tour!!! - A must do in the North! My guide, Mark, was friendly, helpful, and really knowledgeable about the area. He answered countless questions and made the experience wonderful for everyone. This tour packs SO much into a long day - from a river cruise to swimming, walks, and lots of photo opportunities, you really get a lot out of the day. The small group size makes it fun to get to know people, especially as a solo traveler. The coffee, lunch, and ice cream are terrific!! 10/10 recommend this tour!!

Spotted a cassowary - Great day trip to daintree rainforest and cape tribulation. Spotted many crocodiles on the boat ride and got lucky enough to spot a cassowary as well on the way back to daintree ferry crossing. Only downside is if you are sitting in the very last seat of the bus it is very bumpy especially once in the forest area.

Could be better - Like others said: the locations are incredible. However, the tour itself could be better. Most of the time we sat silently in the bus with only sporadic explanations about what was around us. The whole atmosphere felt very distanced.
