5Fantastic tour of the Daintree
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour of the Daintree rainforest. We really enjoyed our tour guide, Daniel, who is extremely knowledgeable about the rainforest, He also had a great sense of humor. I would highly recommend this tour.
5Cairns isn't just for the reef!
I booked this last minute after I spent a day vomiting on a great barrier reef tour ... and loved it! The crocodile tour was great. Everything was absolutely stunning, especially cape tribulation. Lunch as excellent. It's a very long day but worth it.
1Awful
Awful!! You have to make a phone call (so archaic in 2026) because they don’t answer e-mails or WhatsApp ( international internet plan no calls included…) for hotel pick up. Then the guide so called David very unrespectfully throw me the earphones because “I don’t speak English” and needed the audioguide so said “Spanish” and from a long distance throw those like sayin’ I don’t care, why did you came if you don’t speak English (same with the French guy) Anyways we spend years talking about fruits and berries, this guy talks too much, I felt that I was @ secondary school instead of enjoying the nature around. The guy, so smart but just speaks English!!!… he should try to learn another languages. The visits are of 5 minutes, the Coffee brake awful coffee tastes like dirty water, time wasted. The Restaurant selected for luch super hot inside even with the fans on. This is the worst tour in Australia so far…
