Enjoyable tour

Sam 6 June 2022

We enjoyed doing this tour, particularly the cruise and spotting crocs. The location where we swam after lunch was so nice and had super clear water. This spot is only able to be reached on the 4WD road, so that was especially good. Lunch was really nice and in a great spot. However, I found that some places it was a bit rushed, particularly the ice cream place as there was so many people there. Overall, it was a great day.

Daintree Rainforest - amazing

Lisa 12 January 2022

Oh boy did it rain and that was the main shame but you can't stop the weather - I could only imagine what it would be like in good weather. It made the day a little uncomfortable and I think the operator could have provided appropriate wet weather gear as we brought or own but obviously not enough for that weather and we were soaked to the core all day in the freezing air con. The rain was so bad at Cape Trip you could not see in front of you so that was a shame could not venture to look at the beach and we were cut short, we booked 4WD because we thought it would be able to handle the dirt road but we were turned back, but still worth it.

Our Guide was a walking Wikipedia with a couple =)

We got to experience a little bit of everything. Matt was awesome and he knew so much about the area. The tour groups are kept small which is great. It is a very long day but the bus was super comfy. Would highly recommend for visitors who want a taste of everything within a short amount of time.

Tour through the Daintree Rainforest was fantastic
