We were lucky enough to see Cassowaries in the wild, a father and 3 young ones. This was just one of many highlights of this fantastic tour. Thanks especially to Mick who is a wealth of information and stories. Food was good and plentiful.

This is a must-do tour. Our tour guide Mick was amazing - his wealth of knowledge and friendly personality kept us informed and laughing all day. The visit to Mossman Gorge Visitor Centre ( plus morning tea) and the smoking ceremony was special and the Jindalba walk in the Daintree is spectacular - we even saw a cassowary. Lunch at the Heritage Lodge was delicious and the swim in crystal clear Coopers Creek was just spectacular. Thanks Bruce for the beautiful Crocodile River Cruise - we got some great pics. This trip into the Daintree has filled my happiness bucket for a long time to come. Thanks again Mick.

What an amazing experience - we did the all day tour designed for small groups. Our tour guide was a wealth of knowledge and really took the time to point out a LOT of interesting things as the day progressed. Mossman Gorge was amazing and it really feels like stepping into the last when you are in the rainforest - well worth it and big thanks to Mick our guide for the day - 10 stars 🌟

Great pace for the day. Giude/ driver was friendly and informative. Morning tea was — hmmmm ahhh— ok I guess, we saw the wildlife that we were expecting to see. Vehicle was clean and we felt safe. Good value for money.

Amazing hospitality, comfort and knowledgeable driver / guide Bryce. A lot of great history told of the area.
Welcome to country + smoking ceremony at Mossman Gorge was a perfect start to our day
A must do through this professional, easy going company. An overall amazing day in the Daintree.
AussieJohn85 - 4/5
This was a great way to see a lot of Port Douglas's attractions for those on a short timeframe. We started with a smoking ceremony and learned about some of the local indigenous natural remedies and customs before visiting a few short walks within the Daintree as well as a lookout. We then went to lunch and had a swim in a waterhole before heading to Cape Tribulation and visiting a local ice cream shop. It was a big day and most people on the bus passed out on the way home. It did feel a little rushed at times, but this was to be expected on a one day see all trip and the sheer size of the Daintree.

Excellent day spent with Kim, driver, exploring the Daintree National Park. Starting with breakfast at Mossman Gorge after a walk along a walking track that was suitable for all abilities. Then continued onto the Daintree River with numerous stops for photo opportunities along walking tracks and lookouts. Lunch at On the Turps restaurant, where you had a choice of steak, barramundi, vegetarian wrap and fruit, all inclusive. Also able to swim in Cooper Creek if you wanted. After lunch moved on to Cape Tribulation beach before stopping at the Daintree Ice Cream Company. This alone would be worth the trip. From the ice xream Co.pany we continued back to the Daintree River where we had an hour crocodile spotting cruise. Ray the guide was fantastic. We saw crocodiles in the wild from babies just 4 months old to a 5m 800kg male with his mate. Also spotted a python in the trees. This was on of the best tours I have ever been on and would highly recommend this to anyone.
