Overview

We venture deep into the Jungle only two kilometers from the Coral Sea on the slopes of a mountain blanketed in old growth rainforest amongst giant trees thousands of years old and plants and 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 identifying and explaining 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 23 years experience in guiding visitors from all over the world so language differences are not an impediment to providing everyone an enjoyable experience.

What Can You Expect?

Itinerary

Our tours are in Old Growth Tropical Rainforest on a private nature reserve surrounded by the Daintree National Park. Only 10 persons per walk, we can also offer custom walks with advanced notice. The two hour guided walks are along natural bush trails amongst the highest diversity of plants and animals on the planet, some species have been here since the beginning of life on land. Join us and time travel with our Biological Scientist Guides as we search for Cassowary and numerous other bird species, Tree Kangaroos, forest dragons and butterflies.
The hike is perfect for getting off the boardwalks and away from the maddening crowds. It is hard to tell you are on a trail, no artificial boardwalks and railings to separate and detract from the natural surroundings.
Our eco-accredited guides are entertainers, local to the area, and have 23 years of experience working in the Daintree World Heritage Rainforest and connecting people to nature and explaining its holistic processes, history, and evolution. Our tour content is current and scientifically accurate however, weird and wonderful facts and story telling are more reflective of our 'fair-dinkum' personality.

    We really enjoyed the day, Iain is a great guide - he knows so much about the forest. We were happy we went with this tour rather than some others which seemed like you only had a short walk through and not much info. Not sure why there aren’t more reviews, it deserves more hype.

    This was definitely a highlight of our time in Cape tribulation. Ian was so knowledgeable and able to answer any questions we had (and we had many!). He kept us well entertainment with his banter and eagle eyes to spot anything worth looking at, we even saw zombie fungus! Would definitely do again and highly recommend to those interested in knowing more about the rainforest than what initially meets the eye.

    Ian has a wealth of knowledge and was very informative. He knows every tree, plant, fungi and animal like the back is his hand and is all too pleased to answer any questions you have about the Daintree. He caters each walk to the groups fitness and capabilities. We could have walked through the forest all day listening to the history of the rainforest and how each plant and tree has its own story and place there. The views are just magnificent, the trees are on a gigantic scale - don’t forget to look up but also watch where you’re walking. We much preferred this to our own self guided boardwalks found up and down cape trib road. I highly recommend going on a guided tour with jungle escapes. Particularly Ian - he was a real and refreshing personality with great banter and knowledge. You get to see a part of the rainforest not everyone does and it includes a 2000 year old tree! Yep that’s right 2000 years - a strangling fig in all it’s glory. What are you waiting for? Get to the Daintree!

    Doing these walks made us appreciate this special rainforest so much more than we would have if we just did the boardwalks. This was because the rainforest growth up here was more impressive and immersive, and Iain was such an amazing guide. He is so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the environment that you can't help be in awe and feel lucky to be there. We loved it so much the first time that we went back to do another, and would have done a third if we'd been staying longer. Do yourself a favor and do this tour!!
