Daintree and Croc tour in the rain! - We absolutely loved our tour with Cam. We were the only tour company to head out that day due to the weather and we are so glad we did! Cam was incredibly knowledgeable and despite a change in itinerary we still had an amazing time learning about the Daintree and even meeting a couple of crocs on the river! Can highly recommend this tour and this company. Thanks, Cam!

Superb Tour - Had a wonderful time. Our guide Matt was terrific, cordial and informative. He kept things moving and provided a special experience. The tour itself had a wonderful itinerary and covered a lot of ground without being strenuous. Definitely recommend it.

Great half day tour - Peer our driver was friendly and knowledgeable. He gave us plenty of information on route. Lucky to see 2 crocs on the river, before going to Mossman gorge for a dip in the spring water. Lovely tour - thoroughly enjoyed and the weather was on our side!

Very well run - The guides were very knowledgeable and it was a great way to cover off some croc spotting and the Daintree in a short period of time. Lovely watering hole for a swin.

Great morning trip, highly recommended - Great tour & good value for money. Our guide Daniel was excellent, friendly, approachable and very knowledgable. The Daintree river cruise was good and we saw several crocs as well as birds. The skipper was very informative. Then to the Mossman Gorge, as it was school holidays it was extremely busy buy Daniel took us to a deserted place to swim which was fantastic and made the experience all the more special. Would recommend this trip and big thanks to Daniel. It you really want to immerse yourself in the rainforest go for a full day trip, we would have loved to have spent longer.

Ok experience but poor weather - Ok experience but but the weather was poor and high tide . Tour guide said it’s highly unlikely you’ll see crocodile . We got to see a baby crocodile but I believe maybe the trip shouldn’t have gone ahead
