5.00Mossman was cool. Crocs are awesome. Dane tree is the oldest tropical jungle in the world. Don’t be square.
Too little of what we'd like to experience.

3.00As such nothing In the way of the trip, it simply did not live up to expectations. Too much transportation. Too little time to experience the rainforest and see what we actually chose the trip for. Steve was a nice guide, but he talks continuously. Right up the edge.
Good tour

5.00It was a great tour, you saw a lot and the tour guide reported extensively during the ride. The tour takes place exclusively in a large van. At all stops you had enough time to explore everything.
Recommend it! Excellent

5.00Everything was great! I really enjoyed the trip. Everything was on schedule and on time, without feeling rushed! Excellent transportation, a cheerful driver/guide, and we visited all the sights with minimal crowds and quick access. I highly recommend it!
Fabulous FUN Filled Day

5.00We had a fabulous time exploring Cairns. One of the highlights of the day was being able to swim in Mossman Gorge, this was an absolutely magical experience. The scenery was beautiful and the water cold and r3fr3shing. You could feel the magic of the rainforest and the past. Lunch was divine! I can't remember having food that yummy! We also learnt all about the tropical fruit we were eating too. The day was long but very comfortable. We were lucky to have an extremely knowledgeable and friendly tour guide, who helped make the day as wonderful as it was. The group was a small group which was pleasing. This is a must do when visiting Cairns. We would happily do this tour again if we were in Cairns in the future.
A perfect day!

5.00Steve, our guide, was caring, knowledgable, organised, and fun. He led a perfect tour: I learned a lot, saw more than anticipated, ate well, and truly enjoyed my time and places. The vehicle is a new, safe, clean Benz, the food in the Tea House was exceptional (the fruit stories are the highlight) and the special final touch to a perfect and memorable day was the iconic forest ice cream with Betty, a legend! I highly recommend this tour.

5.00A great way to experience the Rainforest and surroundings if you’re on a short stay in Cairns! We got to do and see so much in a day! Steve was a great tour guide, friendly and full of local knowledge & information which he shared with us from start to end making the journey so much more interesting. The views were phenomenal, we even got to see a croc on the river cruise! each destination 10/10 so glad we picked this tour 👍
