The most amazing tour. So beautiful and the guide was absolutely brilliant, informative and funny. An amazing day
The most amazing tour heading through the Daintree to Cape Tribulation. Breathtaking. Was so informative and interesting from start to finish. Saw lots of crocs in the river boat cruise and even managed to see Scarface king of the river. Got up close and personal. Amazing. Highly recommended.
such an amazing day out, absolutely spectacular views.
There is not enough time or space here to express just how fantastic this day tour was - just do yourself a favour and go you won't regret it. Everything from start to finish was incredible. It really is full day tour so make sure to follow their suggested preparations - good walking shoes, sunscreen, insect repellent and water bottle and definitely take a camera!!
