Must do! Mossman Gorge - Josh was THE BEST! My boy/girl twins (14) and son (11) had the best learning experience at the Mossman Gorge. We saw animals, floated down the river, met aboriginal people. It has been one of the highlights of our trip to Australia. It’s a must do.

Vincent made our day! - The hike was amazing and the float equaled it for other good reasons. A great day. Vincent was our tour guide and he somehow made the experience even better. If he's indicative of the tour guides, you can't go wrong. He was knowledgeable and great with our young kids (who are a lot). Lunch stop was a great meal. We've done a lot of tours in various places and this was top notch. He took great pictures for us. Again. kudos to Vincent. Not enough room to talk through his commitment. Our son said at dinner, he missed him already!

Daintree Magic - Our brilliant guides, Josh and Leo brought new meaning to a memorable day. They were both consummate professionals right from the start. Full of knowledge on all things flora, fauna and beyond throughout our adventure floating down a section of the Mossman River and walking through the Daintree Rainforest while photo capturing key activities. Highly recommended!!

The BEST in Port Douglas and Australia - The BEST of many great things I did in the Port Douglas area...and in a month of wonderful adventures in Australia. I didn't expect to have so much fun and to smile the whole time. The guides gave us great information about plants and animals (a kookaburra! an orange-footed scrub fowl nest [huge!]! a killer plant!), and of course the fun, relaxing, and peaceful trip on the river. It was the right mix of everything, including letting us play at the end in the water - when of course we wanted the fun to last. Wonderful for all the kids on the trip, including this much older kid at heart!

Don’t go past this amazing experience! - Pop this on your ‘must do list’!! What an amazing hidden gem, this is nature at its best. Become a tree hugger (with the staff to start the tour) and thank nature for this beauty! You will feel a million miles away discovering various plants, trees and animals. Along the way, you get a couple of taste tests of natures tasty wonders. Josh and Miki were lovely knowledgeable staff to guide you along the way. Thanks for the experience! The photos don’t do this beautiful place justice.

Don’t question whether you should do this adventure - this is a bucket list item you won’t ever forget - it’s a MUST DO - This tour made our 2024 Family Holiday complete. This was a fantastic experience and we felt honoured and privileged to be on such special country. It was a family friendly tour and all the guides are truly industry professionals. If you are lucky enough to have Vincent take you as a guide, you won’t find a more passionate, caring and genuinely involved guide.
