Review for: Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation Full Day Tour

Andy was an exceptional guide for our Daintree Rainforest tour! His knowledge for the flora and fauna was amazing as he showed us a wide variety of plants, insects, and animals, sharing fascinating details about each. Thanks to Andy, we had a memorable experience and left with a newfound appreciation for this incredible ecosystem. Highly recommended!

Review for: Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation Full Day Tour

It was interesting to explore the Daintree rainforest, seeing the various flora & fauna up close. We managed to spot some small crocodiles along the river. It felt a bit rushed when we were at the lunch place, quite limited time to explore the surroundings there. Cape Tribulation was just magnificent, pure nature at its best. The ice cream at the end was the perfect end to the trip.

The trip to Daintree was nice but long . It was 2 hrs out and back. The forest walls were nice and interesting. Saw only baby crocodiles. 2 Cassowaries, and flying fox. Ice cream at Daintree ice cream was best vegan ice cream I ever had.

Review for: Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation Full Day Tour

The river and the vast forest looked even more beautiful than in the pictures. We saw a lot of animals. We saw a variety of wildlife, including crocodiles and rare birds. The meals were also very satisfying. The tour had many steps, so it felt like it was worth more than the price. The bus was very shaky.

Review for: Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation Full Day Tour

We had a wonderful time on this tour. Yannick was great as the guide for our group and could even remember us a couple of days later when he saw us walking past his vehicle at a traffic stop. We were lucky that the rain stopped as we reached our first stop, the Daintree river cruise and was lucky enough to spot "Scarface" the nicknamed given to the male crocodile inhabiting the river. We also saw a large number of Flying Foxes roosting in the trees. The tour continued with a walk through the rainforest boardwalk where we saw a few denizens of the forest and then on to a wonderful lunch stop. After lunch we made our way through the Bloomfield track to Emmagen stream for nice cool dip before heading for ice cream and coffee. Along the way to sopped at the Mt. Alexandra Lookout. We also managed to spot another smaller crocodile on the way back to Cairns.

Daintree Rainforest & Cape Tribulation tour was wonderful and our guide Andy was really patient and informative. Provided us with a lot of information pertaining to the wildlife in the Daintree Rainforest. Saw a couple of crocodiles during the river boat cruise and Cassowaries in the Daintree forest!
