    Couldn’t see Mossman gorge due to close down the area that day for swimmers gone missing. We were looking forward to see that. Other than that the tour was really good. The guide was wonderful, had good knowledge about the Daintree rainforest. The restaurant we had lunch was in in the middle of the rainforest and on the river. It was beautiful to experience enjoying lunch in this beautiful nature. Food was delicious. I would definitely recommend to experience this tour with them.

    Our guide was super knowledgable and fun, made the trip very interesting. Would recommend to spend more time at the forest, which is the main attraction, and less time at the two lookouts (especially the Alexandra one could be even skipped). It is a pity you walk only around 4-500 meters in the forest. Also, we did not even get off of the bus for the ice cream, nor we got to chose the tastes. Since there was no time it was brought to us on the bus and we had to eat it while driving. Have to say we did an extra stop to quickly visit a beach, nice gesture but did not really get the meaning as the beach was quite normal. Anyway super fun activity and super recommended

    The tour was very comprehensive and we visited quite a few places. The tour guide, Daniel, was extremely knowledgeable and provided very good commentary in a very interesting way. The only issue was that we spent more time on the bus rather than spending time in each area. If I were to do it again, I would take a tour that would take you to fewer places and you spend more time in those places.
