Perfect tour - Thank you so much, Simon, for giving Sarah and me such a wonderful private tour! Thanks to you, we were able to see most of Cairns. We really appreciated you taking photos for us at beautiful spots and giving us extra time whenever we wanted to stay longer somewhere. The snacks and lunch you prepared were also perfect! If we come back to Cairns again, we’ll definitely get in touch with you 😊

A fantastic day out - Simon made the trip feel like you were out with an exceedingly knowledgable friend who was willing to take time to ensure you made the most of the day. It was at our pace rather than his but we still saw and did everything on the itinerary with very personal details added. Our elevenses (morning tea) were included - the drink of your choice with his grandma’s recipe home made fruitcake (luckily there was enough for 2 servings each). Bruce (!), our river cruise guide was Simon’s friend and again very knowledgable (we saw 2 crocodiles). Our trip into Mossman’s Gorge followed a meal of our choice (included in price) and we learnt so much about the rain forest plants and fauna and how they all have their part to play in the ecology of the rainforest - we even saw Ulysses butterflies - so beautiful. My husband swam in the river - a beautiful spot and so peaceful. All in all a brilliant day out.

A must do tour! - Everything about this tour was perfect! If you appreciate really understanding everything you are seeing, the history, flora/fauna and enjoy a good yarn, then you will not be disappointed. This is a small group tour and as such it is not a ‘bus tour’ with photo stops. There was an element of flexibility throughout the day, depending on our groups ability, interests and the prevailing weather conditions. All done to provide the best possible experience. Thank you Simon for a terrific day. We really appreciated your passion for and knowledge about this truly amazing part of Australia. “Yalada”

An immersive, curated experience - Our guide Simon was passionate and knowledgeable. We learned a great deal about the Daintree, Mossman Gorge and its cultural significance to the Kuku Walanji people and the flora and fauna of the entire region. The small group allowed for an immersive and curated experience. Homemade ice tea and fruit cake was incredible. We never felt rushed.or crowded.

Personal, knowledgeable and fun day - My wife and I just returned from the Mossman Gorge Daintree Experience Small Group tour. This is a don’t miss tour . Simon, our guide was incredibly knowledgeable about the nature, the history and the ecosystems. He was flexible in finding what we wanted to see by letting us choose one of multiple length routes there was to choose from. He kept the information interesting and fun. We felt like we spent the day with an old friend. He went out of his way on our route back to the hotel to find Wallabies because my wife wanted to see them. The homemade snacks, an old family recipe were delicious. Bring your bathing suit for the dip in Rex Creek. Wonderful personal experience.

BEST TOUR I HAVE BEEN ON - Tropic Tours owner, Simon, was adopted into an Indigenous community as a very young man. Though he has since married and moved away, he remains deeply connected to his mob. His knowledge of the land and community is second to none, and what an extraordinary storyteller he is. The tours were brilliant from start to finish, and the Mossman Gorge and Daintree Experience lunch was to die for. I wholeheartedly, without reservation, recommend these small-group tours, especially the two my friend and I joined: the Mossman Gorge & Daintree Experience and the Cassowary Coast Waterfall & Culture Tour.

Great, not to be missed - Everything was perfect throughout the day. Our guide is passionate about sharing his passion for plants, animals and the history of this beautiful region. We enjoyed being a small group (8 people) and it allowed us to share good times with the other participants. Homemade breakfast and lunch have been a treat and of a level rarely reached for this kind of service Not to be missed if you visit Cairns George and Sonia
