Has an awesome experience. Booked tour just for something different. Highly recommended. Not only did we discover some really cool bars we never knew existed, we also learnt some of Melbourne's history from the early 1900's. Will definitely be booking another tour

Our guide Juan was terrific. Knowledgeable and engaging, he answered many questions enthusiastically and gave us great insight into his mob from this region. Great information about First Nation’s care and use of country, traditions and history of the area. Spotted a large crocodile in the surf (from well up the beach), saw a large cassowary on one of the walks and had a great lunch at Cape Trib. Practiced spear throwing and checked out the stunning ice creams at the Daintree Ice Cream Company. A great day. Thanks Juan. Peter and Jill

Really enjoyed this tour (part funded by the govt voucher!). Rupert’s commentary was very well informed and entertaining in it’s delivery and Maddie did a great job in looking after us all with food and drinks. Appreciated the healthy and delicious lunch! Didn’t expect to see seals on the trip which was a nice surprise and just amazing to see the Coorong coastline and the Murray mouth up close and great to get out and stretch the legs half way and learn a bit about bush tucker.

It was quite hot on the day in Nov 2020 but it was worth it. The wallabies young ones hanging around on the grounds were very friendly and sweet. Alex and the Aboriginal guide, Manuel, are a worthy duo. Highly recommended.

Our party of four went on the day long adventure with our tour guide Rob. We started off with the drive to Mossman Gorge to see the beauty and tranquility on show (plus the fairly large orb weaver spider outside the building .... not for the faint hearted). Then onto the river cruise on the Daintree to see a few crocodiles. After a couple of other stops we made it to our lunch time destination where we were served a good lunch for some hungry travellers. The 2nd last destination was up to Cape Tribulation. The beauty and serenity of this location must be enjoyed if you are in FNQ. Final destination was to Daintree Ice Cream for a very delicious tasting and then homeward bound. A great day with some incredible scenery, wildlife and locations. A special shout-out to our tour guide Rob who kept us informed all trip with historical tales, jokes and music ..... 5 stars to you ... you made the day ????????????????????. Don’t miss this part of Australia’s beauty if you can

This was a fantastic tour. Daz the bus driver was very professional and so knowledgeable. He was funny and helpful with my parents as they are old and find it hard to get around. Damo was the best. He was funny and also very professional. He always made sure safety was his first priority. If you do this tour please give Damo some moisturiser for his feet. ????????
