It is a long day but seeing the sights in one hit with a knowledgeable local guide is definitely worth it. Our driver/guide was a highlight of the trip. The sights/locations were great but he made the trip.

Efficient and enjoyable

Roger was an excellent tour guide. He’s very well informed about the area and was enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge. This tour is definitely not for those who want to take their time however. It’s perfect for people who have a limited time in the area and want to see as much as possible! Being picked up and dropped off at our hotel was a huge bonus and the whole day was very low stress as Roger ensured we stayed on time so that we didn’t miss out! Would definitely recommend this trip to people wanting to get out and see as much of the Daintree national park as possible in a limited amount of time.

We had a great time and Roger was a fantastic guide. It is a lot to pack into one day so we couldn’t spend as much time on each place as we would have liked but still a very fun and educational way to spend a day.

Olivia_V

Form start to finish- this tour was a mess. The itinerary says you go ti Mossman gore first & for 2 hours, we didn’t- we went last and had 20 mins. It really was a rushed tour and it was obvious our tour person was new and was Guessing her way thought it I really don’t recommend this tour and your better off hiring a car and don’t it yourself vs this.

The whole trip was amazing. Each place we visited had it's own unique and special experience. Our guide. Esther, was the best. All the people were friendly from the welcome to country at Mossman Gorge, the river cruise at the Daintree River, the restaurant staff we met near Cape Tribulation and that amazing Daintree Ice Cream shop.

We did an incredible amount in one day! I wanted to drive to the Cape but decided it was better to be driven and see more things. Glad we did. Tom was a super knowledgeable and friendly guide. Saw more in one day than in two of self driving. Really worth it to get a good taste of the north.
