Rainforest, crocodiles and laughter- the perfect Daintree Tour - We had an absolutely fantastic day on the Daintree and Mosman Gorge tour from Port Douglas. Our tour guide was incredibly accommodating, knowledgeable and engaging throughout the entire trip. He taught us so much about the geology and history of the rainforest, crocodiles, Aboriginal culture and the local wildlife. The crocodile river cruise was unforgettable we saw 8 crocodiles ranging from tiny 3-month-old babies to enormous adults over 80 years old. Seeing Scar, who was over 5 metres long, was definitely a highlight! What really made the tour special was the humour and personality of the guides. They brought the whole experience to life with their wit, storytelling and amazing sense of humour while still being informative and professional. The scenery was breathtaking and the whole day was organised brilliantly. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Port Douglas.

Daintree and Croc tour in the rain! - We absolutely loved our tour with Cam. We were the only tour company to head out that day due to the weather and we are so glad we did! Cam was incredibly knowledgeable and despite a change in itinerary we still had an amazing time learning about the Daintree and even meeting a couple of crocs on the river! Can highly recommend this tour and this company. Thanks, Cam!

Superb Tour - Had a wonderful time. Our guide Matt was terrific, cordial and informative. He kept things moving and provided a special experience. The tour itself had a wonderful itinerary and covered a lot of ground without being strenuous. Definitely recommend it.

Ok experience but poor weather - Ok experience but but the weather was poor and high tide . Tour guide said it’s highly unlikely you’ll see crocodile . We got to see a baby crocodile but I believe maybe the trip shouldn’t have gone ahead
