Fantastic day and highly recommend. Our guide could not have done anymore for us. We were in a group of 16 in total and didn’t feel just a number. We enjoyed a fantastic lunch and learned so much en route to each of the locations

Hats off to our tour guide Carsten, who really tried his best to make a great day out of a very rainy one. We visited in March from Cairns and we woke up to TORRENTIAL downpour. I called the operator number and they confirmed we were still a go. We were promptly picked up and the morning was relatively smooth. The viewpoints were a bit tough because of the rain. The morning tea was lovely. Unfortunately, the crocodile ride was cancelled because the boat captain could not get to the tour spot. Plus the river was super high and super fast so probably would not have been safe … also lots of silt in the water so no crocodiles would have been visible anyways. The roads were under a lot of construction. There were many lights to direct traffic one way at a time because the roads were reduced to one lane. This is all because of a recent cyclone in December 2023. Lunch was very nice. The cultural center was the best part. The gents were able to organize a lesson / sharing from a local Elder to help compensate for all the weather caused mishaps - which was very considerate. I was personally really enthusiastic about swimming in the gorge based on other reviews but again with the rain and river rising and fast water - it was just not safe. Now the reason I have four stars was because of the price. Recognizing the weather mishaps were absolutely not within the control of the company, I really tried to think about the tour if it had had perfect weather and what not. Even if everything had been perfect. It is a tour that is definitely on the higher side. Now what is worth the price tag … well, if everything had been perfect with lots of sunshine and crocodiles and swimming in the gorge … maybe. So for others. Just be mindful that the itinerary is based on a perfect weather day and after all - you are in the rainforest ! This is not to take away from again - our very kind host Carsten, he really worked hard and always had a big smile on his face - which really helped with the rain and the mud haha Thank you !

We spent a week in Port Douglas and had an amazing family holiday. We stayed at "By The Sea" which was right next to Four Mile Beach and still close handy to the main street of Port Douglas. Day trips to Mossman Gorge, Hartleys Crocodile Farm and a day of snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef were highlights! Do yourself and your family a favour and spend a week in an amazing part of Australia
