So relaxing and fun!! - We booked this excursion during our time in Australia whilst on Honeymoon. I am not the biggest fan of water but Vincent and Tia were sooooo reassuring and explained everything so well I absolutely loved this experience. It was very relaxing just floating down the river and the trek through the Mossman Gorge was very pretty to do!!

Fantastic day out in the rainforest - Fantastic day out! Picked up from our accommodation in Port Douglas. Very enjoyable river drift experience. Afternoon visiting the Mossman Gorge. This included a trip to the Indigenous Heritage Centre there before exploring the rainforest itself. Even found time for a swim in the gorge. Much needed given the humidity and heat. Our tour guide, Josephine, was incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects but especially enthusiastic about all things nature. We wanted copies of some extra photographs to add to our memories - the office could not have been more helpful in obtaining them. We wanted a different type of day and this most definitely did that! Thanks everyone who made that possible

Fab and fun - We did the river drift- picked up from our accomodation in Port Douglas and transport to the start of the tour. Was fabulous, from start to finish, informative and fun. Only complaint - finished too soon! Would recommend to anyone who is looking for something to do for half a day. We will be back!

On the river in the rainforest - We had a really good half-day on the Mossman river with Back Country Bliss, using small inflatable rafts to float down the river. It’s real fun. Our guides were Jai and Sam and they were excellent. Although I can imagine it being a bit tame for more adventurous types, it was perfect for us. and would be ideal for a family with children over the age of 10 who were good swimmers. The river depth was perfect for us, but I heard that sometimes after some rain, the activity is cancelled if the river is too fast flowing. As well as the river experience, it was amazing to be in the rainforest and to have an explanation about all the trees and the plants, including the toxic gympie gympie. We also saw lots of butterflies including many Ulysses.

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!
