Overview

We venture deep into the Jungle only two kilometres from the Coral Sea on the slopes of a mountain blanketed in old growth rainforest amongst giant trees thousands of years old and plants & animals that predate dinosaurs.
We use a unique mixture of humour and accurate scientific information to tell the story of this unique forest where Kangaroo's live in tree's, a bird is bigger than a human and nothing is considered deadly to humans. Every plant and animal has a part in the story of this World Heritage listed ecosystem and we spend two hours on the 'hunt' along trails only we use identifying the things we see explaining their part in the story of the worlds oldest continuously existing forest. Our guides are Wet Tropics accredited biological scientists who love to entertain, we are local to the area and have 20 years experience in guiding visitors from all over the world so language differences are not an impediment to providing everyone an enjoyable experience.

Our tours are in Old Growth Tropical Rainforest on a private nature preserve surrounded by the Daintree National Park.

    This Jungle Escapes tour was absolutely amazing and a must if you enjoy wildlife and nature. A big thank you to Ian for getting me situated - I had a hiccup with my reservation the first night but he allowed me to move it to the following night. The night of the tour itself was so incredible. Up in Cape Trib for a week, I had gone on quite a few “night walks” myself on the Dubuji boardwalk. This experience was unparalleled though - exclusive access in unlogged rainforest… during the rain. Nat (I believe that was her name?) was our tour guide and she was super informative and was able to spot all sorts of plants and critters and tell us about them. We saw snails, stick bugs, crickets with MASSIVE antennae, heaps of spiders, bioluminescent fungi… but the highlight of the night for me was seeing not one, but TWO Boyd’s forest dragons. I was very pleased by the tour’s approach to the wildlife. They asked us not to shine our lights at them due to them sleeping at night and their sensitive eyes. I don’t think a lot of tours would have that same respect for wildlife. To add to the ambience of the tour… 1/3 of the way through, a deluge of rain began. But hey - that’s the rainforest. Huge thank you to the Jungle Escapes team for making my last night in Cape Tribulation so wonderful!

    Booked a night tour with Jungle Escapes for 25th Feb 2023 through Marty at Visit Cairns - printed off our voucher, which told us to go to the starting point (end of Camelot Close) at 7:15pm. We waited from 7:10pm to 7:40pm but no-one arrived. We tried the number (+61407734702) a few times but it went to voicemail each time (we also left a message). We then walked back along the 1km ish road and didn't see anyone along the way. A shame as this was what we were looking forward to the most in Cape Tribulation, and the previous reviews were so good. We were very disappointed with the whole experience.

    One of the highlights of this walk, is learning that people like Ian are doing their part to protect parts of the world that would otherwise be ruined by commercial development. The experience itself was great and Ian is incredibly knowledgable. We walked in September 2022, which is unusually cold so quite pleasant for us. We spotted both a short nosed and long nosed bandicoot, leaf tailed gecko, green tree frog, Boyd's forest dragon, a few huntsman spiders, glowing lichen, and were educated on the various flora and fauna in the area. I must admit that I was nervous about heading out into the rainforest at night, surrounded by bugs and with threats of snakes and spiders, but the experience was far from that at this time of year. Thanks Ian!

    Such a great night discovering the rainforest creatures of the night! The guide was great fun and very knowledgeable, and looks after everyone in the group. Would highly recommend to see a side not commonly seen in such a beautiful unique place, through a local business genuinely interested in supporting the conservation of the area.
