Even tho the weather was a overcast and a little drizzly on our day tour we still thoroughly enjoyed our day and visit to the Daintree area. Our guide was Darryl who was very informative and kept us entertained the whole day! The tour provided us with a great overview of the area for our first visit to this part of Australia. We would highly recommend this tour to first timers to the area.

We took the Atherton Tablelands Experience with Adam and it was one of the best, most informative trips of our holiday. We happened to book on the second boxing day this year and think people were doing other things as we had the vechile to ourselves which made the trip more special Adam is very socialble and knowledgable and took us to places not listed, we got to see all the waterfalls, some hilltop lookouts and more wildlife spotting along the way. Couldn't have asked for a better day.

Start your day with a cruise on the mighty Daintree river.  This 2 hour cruise takes you on journey of discovery exploring the main river and its tributaries in search of iconic wildlife including crocodiles, birds and snakes.  The dawn cruise showcases the river at is most picturesque and serene as the boat travels along the smooth waters of the Daintree river.  The river meanders through tranquil farmland and into the bounds of the Daintree rainforest from its freshwater origins into the saline tributaries to explore the mangroves and surrounds. Cruises are limited to a maximum of just 10 passengers and are customised to the interests of the passengers. The boat used is a unique 'hybrid' vessel utilising both a regular outboard and a commercial-quality electric motor which enables less disturbance of wildlife and better wildlife viewing. Cruises depart from the Daintree Village boat ramp.

Inclusions: Driver/guide

Exclusions: Food and drinks, Hotel pickup and drop-off

I have previously enjoyed the early morning cruise and this time took the evening one. Just as enjoyable with beautiful sunsets to top off a great cruise during which we saw lots of great birds, reptiles and plants. Murray was polite, helpful, knowledgeable and passionate about the wonders of the river. We had fantastic views of The Great billed Heron and Papuan frogmouth as well as many others, The tick lists which we could take helped us recall all that we had seen. Highly recommend either or better still both of his tours. You'll see birds that are otherwise impossible for even experienced birders to find.

My husband and I had the pleasure of Matt taking us on the afternoon Nocturnal tour. Matt is a wonderful guide, such a broad knowledge and great sense of humour. This tour was our most enjoyable of our trip to North QLD. We didn't see any cassowaries on our tour but Matt showed us the peculiar animals that come out at night, some we have never heard of before. I will be recommending this company to all our friends and feel 100% sure that they will be looked after. Thank you so much for making our time in North QLD so enjoyable!

The perfect way to finish your Daintree Rainforest experience. Floating on the water, enjoying the late afternoon light, watching wildlife foraging before sunset, there are few better places to be than out on the Daintree River. Highly sought-after birds (kingfishers, herons, frogmouth, flycatchers) as well as crocodiles and snakes are seen on most cruises. Cruises cater for a maximum of just 10 passengers and are customised to the interests of the passengers. The boat used is a unique ‘hybrid’ vessel utilising both a regular outboard and an incredible electric motor to aid wildlife viewing. Late afternoon cruises give an opportunity to see the river in lovely light, sometimes with the setting sun colouring the sky, often with a multitude of egrets flying home to roost for the night.

Excellent experience! Murray was informative and personable... (he knows his stuff and the river!), and was very accommodating. Will do the tour again next time I’m in the region. Definitely worth getting up early for!! (Bob says ‘Take a punt with Murray Hunt!’)

We required a private transfer with less then 4 hours notice due to a family emergency, which also coincided with torrential rain and a peak time for bookings, with several other operators unable to accomodate our request early in the day. The team were very professional and went above and beyond, nothing was a hassle. We will be return customers in the future as your hospitality and customer service was outstanding. Highly recommended. Thank you

wow !! Such a great trip with very knowledgable Paul (meatloaf) & enthusiastic, very helpful young Elliot who were our tour guides. Elliott was great help to us 'oldies' on the walks & had great concern for all the members of the group (young & old)..we had to change our itinerary around abit because of Anzac Day holiday & some were dissapointed as they couldn't go on the optional flight..but it meant we could see & do other things along the way E.g, visit the war cemetary at Adelaide River !! The standing tents were clean & functional -although the ones at Litchfield Park were fairly open & we had a very cold night with only 1 blanket supplied for 2 in a twin share!! but the other two nights were more comfortable... My advice for others going on this tour is to rug up at Litchfield & to take a bath towel along with your beach towel -as only the camp at Katherine supplied one!! The camp kitchens were such fun with the group helping with preparing food & cleaning up ...everyone got on really well & Kakadu National park was spectacular!!
