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.

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

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

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.

MichelleLixue_M

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.
