A friendly four hour tour with all the highlights! - Incredible tour that fit perfectly into our schedule!! We felt like we got the best out of each activity! A wonderful drive to Daintree with a funny and animated driver, a drink and snacks at the croc cruise where we saw more than 7 crocodiles (amazing!!) and a nice walk along Mossman Gorge and some time in the water! Friendly door to door service, we felt taken care of the entire time! Highly recommend this if you might be short on time but want the highlights!

Relaxed and well-paced Daintree afternoon - This was a great way to explore the area. The tour was well-organized and nicely paced, with a comfortable bus and engaging commentary throughout. The highlight for us was Mossman Gorge—absolutely stunning. We braved a swim in the freezing water (visiting in winter!), and riding the rapids turned out to be so much fun. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the area’s natural and cultural history. While the river cruise was calm and scenic, crocodile sightings were minimal. Still, it was a relaxing part of the day. Overall, a fantastic half-day experience.

Had a great ride to see... - Had a great ride to see the crocs in their natural habitat, and an excellent dip in the Daintree swimming spot (complete with sand beach & river bottom). Daniel had lots of info for us at every step in the tour.

Crocodiles and Gorges. - We had a lovely day that was well timed to see the crocodiles with Bob who knew exactly where to take us on the Daintree. Then Daniel took us to the Mossman George which was beautiful. We did an afternoon half day tour which was enough but if you want more time to explore do the full day tour.

Not worth the money - For a 4 hour tour all you get is a boat ride along the river where you may spot one or two crocodiles and a walk to the gorge
