Dave is an excellent tour guide and quick on his feet. We covered a lot of places and I fell in love with Mossman Gorge and Daintree Rainforest. It is a different experience altogether. If you are nature lover. Those are your spots. We had a crocodile cruise as well, and a baby croc did jump on us/ or I should say in water. That was definitely one of the thrilling moments :D Daintree Forest ice-cream was magnificent (coconut, passion fruit, among many others) . If you get a chance to speak to the owner, you must. He will share knowledge and some exquisite fruits. Dave enjoys his work and he explains things very well. Lucky or not lucky to not have come across cassowaries. A memorable trip it was. Thank you Dave.
It is a great tour....

A brilliant day. Tour guide Tom was fantastic. Taken to stunning Mossman Gorge where learnt about the traditional land owners. Views in the Gorge amazing. Then off to the river tour which again Graham the boat driver was fantastic.
Then off again through the cape seeing stunning places again with Tom spending the time and knowledge of the area.
Highly recommend
Expect a long day but very but worthy.

It's a long day but definitely worth while. Saw some beautiful Rainforest at Mossman and a variety of crocs. Our guide 'Tom' was excellent and we'll informed.
Bus #38 could do with some rear suspension work and a muffler clamp......lol
Fabulous

John our driver and tour guide was excellent. The Daintree river cruise was exciting seeing the crocs and Graham was very good
An action packed day going flat out but truly worth it.
Grant_S
, May 2022
Our guide really made the whole day. His local knowledge of the habitat as well as the other area activities made for a very insightful day.
If you are lucky enough to get Terry as your guide you are in for one hell of a day.
And don’t chicken out on the swim. It was one if the highlights.

The entire tour was over 12 hours but there is a lot of driving and not as much sight-seeing. I don't think we were at each activity for more than an hour so it felt quite rushed. The river cruise was a highlight, we spotted a number of wild adult and baby crocodiles. Would've preferred to spend more time in the Daintree rainforest and do a walk of some sort. Our tour guide Mark was great, very knowledgeable.
a lot of time on the bus

Mossman gorge was the best, but we stayed 45min only that include breakfast time!!! Unfortunately the trip involves Too long driving
Response from Host , May 2022
Good to hear you enjoyed your visit to Mossman Gorge but sorry to hear you were disappointed with the amount of driving, there is quite a lot of distance we have to cover to fit the popular sites in to one day.
Thanks for traveling with us, we hope you enjoyed the rest of your time in the region.

You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
