Great (but long) day out. Lovely scenery and potential for great wildlife. Barbeque lunch was delicious. Highlight was cruising down the Daintree river getting pretty close to some very big salt water crocodiles.

Fantastic trip, well organized, smoothly run. Our driver was excellent, safe, cautious, very knowledgeable with good commentary during the entire trip. "Mick", the boat driver on the river trip was a special treat, enthusiastic, with real passion that was contagious._br/_ Thank you.

We were picked up at 7am by Peter, was excellent Guide and Driver, it is a very long day... especially if you have to pick up people from Palm Cove and Port Douglas it is a very big detour, at least an hour wasted. After everyone was on board, we headed to cross the Daintree River, then into the Daintree Discovery centre for the Board walk you get morning tea here, then on to Cape Tribulation beach and lookout, Alexandra Lookout, BBQ lunch included, the Fish is very nice Steak, Sausage, Salads, Damper and Fruit. then onto Crocodile cruise on the Daintree River we saw 3. Afternoon tea at the dock, Then on to Mossman Gorge another board walk in the tree's. then you start to do hotel drop off's. we got back to our room at 7pm yes it was a 12hour tour, make sure you take your hat sunnies, and sun block. and a bottle of water.

A full on day made even better by the friendly and informative driver. So much to see in such a short time and even the rain and wind didn't put a dampener on this trip. Bit disappointed we didn't see any big croc's but that's a chance you take. Great day.

We had an amazing day! The tour guide was very informative and "eagle eye" Dan on the Daintree River Cruise was a master at spotting Australian wildlife.

Review by: Amanda R, Australia	May 2010
Wow! If you wanted everything done for you this is it! The driver was so informative, the 4wd was great. Where we went the location was fantastic, it was timed down to the minute but not rushed and the BBQ lunch, wow the ladies who cooked this were great! Well worth it.

Good.

Extremely knowledgeable guide, nice small group, this tour was fantastic. It helped that the area was so beautiful, and that there was so much to see. Highly recommended.

Review by: Barry B, Australia	October 2009
We are so pleased to have at last seen the Daintree. There's no way we could have done this trip under our own steam! Our driver and guide was very friendly, very personable and so full of information to keep us focused all the way there and back. Morning tea, I was pleased to see, wasn't served in a sterile glass & chrome monstrosity. I'm not sure how old the building was, but I thought it had seen a good few years and looked comfortably settled into it's surroundings. That was a tick from me. A welcome surprise for us ladies was the Captain of our Daintree River boat cruise. No fair dink-um Aussie could have done the job better than this tanned Italian hunk with the so cute accent, and we were supposed to be concentrating on crocodiles! I didn't get his name. Also our guide who took us on the canopy walk, crammed as much information as he could into the short time we spent with him. We left knowing he had so much more to tell. The BBQ lunch in the bush setting was delicious, vegetarians catered for. Another tick. We got safely back to our hotel despite a tree nearly falling on our moving bus! Just that last bit of excitement to add to a great day.

We had a wonderful time and the tour driver was very informative. The lunch was very tasty, and the whole day was something to remember.

Review by: Suzanne H, Australia	April 2009
A pretty big day. Covers lots of areas. Could have been a bit better if driver was a bit more knowledgeable and able to provide more commentary for the long drives.

Review by: Rebeca B, Australia	August 2008
It was meant to be a 4WD tour but it only ended up being coach. The overall tour was very nice though and still enjoyable.

Review by: Anonymous, United Kingdom	May 2008
Seemed to be one of the best companies operating in the area, knowledgeable driver, good views of forest and area, though not clear why they needed the 4WD.

Review by: Mira P, Australia	November 2007
Excellent, really enjoyed it.

Review by: Steven H, Australia	July 2007
A great day, fantastic value for money, and our guide was very helpful, accommodating, and informative.

Review by: Christopher D, United States of America	May 2007
Excellent tour. The tour guide was great, very informative and entertaining. The rainforest was great and it poured with rain for a short time - perfect. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Review by: Reginald T, Australia	April 2007
This trip is definitely worth doing if you have limited time and want to see the Daintree and Cape Tribulation in one day. We found our driver to be very friendly and helpful and he gave a very good commentary as to the local area as we travelled up the coast. The BBQ lunch was very good and was served with complimentary red or white wine. A great day out.
