Stewart (Stu) was the best tour guide, driver, logger (he had to cut and clear a fallen tree off the road). His personality is so very suited to being a tour guide. A real character and knowledgable too. Thoroughly enjoy our trip even when we got delayed due to heavy rain. Our safety and comfort was his priority.

Had a great day touring the Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation. Our tour guide Damien was super sweet & sociable and was very informative throughout the entire tour. Great way to meet new people. Highly recommend!

Excellent tour of Daintree Rainforest, Cape Tribulation and Mossman Gorge. It would have been nice to stay at all places longer, but time did not permit. So many things to see in such a short time. Tour did an excellent job allowing us to see all these incredible places in one day.

They were 40 mins late to pick me up with no contact which I was told was due to me not having an Australian number which seems ridiculous seems as I called them to confirm the tour from a UK number and these tours are catered for international travellers as much as domestic. The tour was rushed and we spent hardly anytime places because we were behind schedule. Communication was atrocious and overall the company weren’t helpful in resolving any issues. The mossman gorge was lovely but I wish we had more than 40 mins to race round before getting back on the bus. The welcome ceremony is short but lovely and nice to learn about the aboriginal culture. The crocodile cruise was good and we did see a crocodile despite it being the wrong time of year for them and the croc guide was great. Just the overall organisation of the tour was poor and after waiting 40 mins in the hot sun I was already annoyed and the day didn’t get much better.
