We did the Atherton Tablelands waterfalls tour. Carols was our guide and he was the best tour guide ever! Definitely ask for him if you can. Everything was awesome but he made it that much better with his personality and wealth of knowledge. Would definitely recommend.

Amazing tour. Damien the guide had such a passionate and clear knowledge and made the experience super interesting. Got to go to so many places and definitely got my moneys worth. Was a highlight of my Aussie trip!

We did the full day Cape Tribulation tour with Tomas as our guide. He was very diligent and funny. The weather wasn't great but that just makes me want to go again. We saw crocs, snakes, spiders, beautiful plants butterfly's and awesome scenery. Thank you Tom number 1 you made us have a great day with your humour and kindness.

We did the A day tour to Cape Tribulation, Mossman Gorge, Daintree Rainforest including the River Crocodile Cruise These guys are Amazing! Especially our young tour guide ...I think Tom (hope we are right) Before we describe our experience in great details, let it very clear, this was AMAZING tour as per what they are offering..Including the crocodile river cruise. The reason we chose this one was that it almost includes everything that we would like to do in Cairns / Port Douglas other than The Great Barrier Reef, of course. Also, it allows us to reduce our carbon footprint and last and definitely the only other reason was that we did not have much time on our hand. The itinerary is just correct, and offers you exactly what they have mentioned. The guides are fantastic and knowledgeable and friendly, with plenty of stories to learn and know. Now, our only personal disappointment with regards to the tour was the lunch. The quality of food was very average (not to forget the portions as well). One can argue that during Covid lockdown that's what the cafe could offer...And.the only cafe open yet the morning toasties at the mossman gorge were way better and filling than what we ate. Now the disappointment that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the tour or the company. We take full responsibility of this disappointment, and are only mentioning for those who would ideally prefer some longer trail-walks / trekking opportunities: If you have time constraint and book this one then don't expect lot of walking and quality breaks And if you have lot of time on hand, please don't book this one, and try finding an itinerary that does all these places in a span of two days. Since this itinerary covers up everything that is a Must See around the area in a day's time, it was unjustified for us to.expect more than what we already did. Also, because it was during summer season we did the crocodile cruise, we did not get to see much action, nevertheless we enjoyed if.

My 11 year old granddaughter and I did the full Cape Tribulation Day tour today. We loved it. Our tour guide Brendan was fun and very informative. Loved Mossman Gorge and especially the Welcome to Country smoking ceremony. Enjoyed our walk down to gorge. Enjoyed lunch at Cape Tribulation. Pretty much enjoyed the whole day. Beautiful stopoff on way home at Port Douglas
