Wonderful small group tours with Tropic Tours. - We had a great day out with Simon doing the Paronella Park day/night tour. Along the way we stopped into several places of interest Simon was very interesting with his stories about each place. He also went out of his way to spot 2 Cassowary roaming free. Simon was such a friendly and thoughtful host we thoroughly enjoyed his company. We also did the Mossman Gorge/Daintree Forest tour with this company our tour guide was Karlos we also enjoyed our time with him as well! My husband and I thoroughly recommend tours with Tropic Tours well done to all the team! Do hope we get back up that way again to do the taste of Tableland tour as well!

Everyone should do this tour to Paronella Park with this tour group.I would say for the best experience of this park go on this tour, leave your vehicle in Cairns, you will learn so much about the region and the park. Loved every moment of the day. Even seen a platypus in the wild.

Absolutely Breathtaking - Our tour with Tropic Tours was absolutely fantastic. From start to finish, they were friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience enjoyable. Their storytelling brought the history and culture of the area to life, while their humor kept everyone engaged. What stood out most was their ability to make the tour feel personal, answering every question with patience and enthusiasm. They went above and beyond to ensure everyone felt comfortable and included. The pace was perfect, and we never felt rushed. I would highly recommend Simon to anyone looking for a fun, informative, and memorable tour. Absolutely Breathtaking experience.

Wonderful Tour - Wow! What a fabulous tour. Simon took us on a journey of discovery about Paronella Park and its original owner Jose. Simon fully immersed us in Jose story about adventure, determination, a vision, tragedy and rebirth. We also learnt a lot about the Cassowary Coast line. Babinda boulders was great, the story regarding devil rocks was interesting, Etty beach was beautiful and the home baked afternoon tea was yum. Paronella Park light show was really special. It will be a tour we will remember. Thank you Simon for a wonderful day.

Fascinating tour and great guide - Tour could not have been better. We have been on many good tours, but Simon is the best guide we have ever had - super friendly and kind, with a wealth of information on each part of the tour. Also admired his deep concern for the ecosystems we visited. Paronella Park staff were great as well. Definitely worth the trip.

Unique, special, and intimate tour - If you’re looking for an intimate tour with a local expert, THIS IS THE ONE. Simon was incredibly knowledgeable and kind. He owns Tropic Tours with his wife, so this isn’t a huge tour cash cow like many many others you’ll find in Australia. I’m so glad I chose this trip last minute. We saw two cassowaries en route to Etty Bay and we had time to stop to see if the resident croc was out and about, but it was probably too warm for him. We were treated with a lovely tea and lemon cake on the beach which was tasty and special, then dinner at the hotel was great as well. Paronella park has a cool history and tons of flora and fauna to learn about as well. Can’t recommend this tour enough.

An excellent day and evening out on the Cassawarry Coast. - An excellent experience. A very interesting area to visit . Simon is an extremely knowledgeable and experienced guide. The trip into the Cassawarry Coast takes you into areas that are both beautiful and historic. Paranella Park is quite amazing and it was great to be able to see it both in the daytime and evening. A cup of tea and home baked lemon cake at Etty Beach with a Cassawarry and his chick being sighted on the way in , what more could one ask for.

A guided delightful tour showcasing Paronella and so much more - WOW. Great trip exploring not just beautiful Paronella Park but serene rock pools and dangerous rock pools; Aboriginal culture and the environment. Then there are the cassowaries WOW. All of this woven together with Simon's commentary. Thanks Tropic tours.
