A great tour with the absolute best tour guide!

Published on May, 2023

We had a fabulous day with our guide Michelle. She was so knowledgeable, patient and friendly. She gave us the tour of a lifetime and the most fantastic memories. Thank you Michelle!

Great value. Lots of different experiences. Great food. Small group of 13. Comfortable modern bus.

Published on May, 2023

A very full day of adventuring throughout FNQ. The Mercedes bus was extremely comfortable, and our guide, Michelle, was knowledgeable and funny. The lunch was lovely, and our many stops were well planned. Definitely well worth the money! We would highly recommend to anyone who wants a great overview of crocs, indigenous lore, beaches and rainforests. Photos and memories to keep with us for a long time!

Great trip, and wonderful guide.

Tally Ho Simon!

Published on Jul, 2022

Simon was brillant. He has an Incredible breath of knowledge of Daintree Rainforest and all things Australian. His disposition is upbeat and fun. His love of nature is palpable. He is genuine and considerate. We (a couple w 2 teenage kids) spent 12 hours with him and never a dull moment passed. Cheers to being great at your job and sharing what you love to do with others.

Amazing family experience
