Fun Trip in Cairns - We enjoyed our two-day experience visiting the Daintree and Great Barrier Reef! Both tours were very well organized in spite of having a lot of people. We recommend the semi-submersible.

Come for the jungle, stay for the reef - The jungle safari took us to places that we wouldn’t have otherwise gone to and they were lovely, especially the cruise. However, the real selling point was the reef day. Check in was incredibly easy, the staff were friendly and accommodating, the reef spots were beautiful, lunch was fresh and tasty, and the entire experience was excellent.

Great experience would recommend - Great experience, Daintree was beautiful, nice meals included in the package and we got to see live crocodiles in the wild! The Barrier Reef day was also wonderful with snorkeling to see fishies and corals, definitely a memorable once in a lifetime experience. Crew was also very professional and on time.

A must do experience - Our first day Daintree tour was wonderful. Our guide Gavin was so amazing and helpful. He always had a smile on his face and plays a traditional instrument. It was a different experience at the rainforest on a rainy day. Even though it was raining, he took us to every itinerary as listed. We saw crocodiles on our river cruise. The lunch was delicious and we got a chance to swim in a nearby creek after we ate. The Great Barrier Reef was breathtaking and there were many colorful corals, fish, and turtles. The snorkel guides were really helpful especially Rosie. She showed me the reef in both places while I was hanging on the floatie because I was scared to snorkel as I am a non swimmer. The only thing we didn’t like was the lunch.

Two top notch tours! - Amazing trip to the Daintree with great guide Andrew. Rainforest walk was amazing, as was the river cruise where we saw crocs sunning themselves on the shore. A cassowary sighting was a bonus. Lunch was very good as well. The reef snorkeling experience was great, lots of marine life to view. Very safe experience. Lunch there also exceeded expectations.

Great trips! - We did the Daintree/Great Barrier Reef trip. I will preface this by saying both days were rainy but we still managed to enjoy it. The rain stopped when we were off the bus but poured while on the bus. Andy, our guide, was very knowledgeable about Daintree and the area. Lunch was very good at the restaurant chosen for us. The Great Barrier Reef was amazing. So many fish, turtles and great coral. Lunch on the boat was very good and plentiful. The staff on board were very helpful to make sure you have a great time! There was a great ratio of staff to vacationers!

James from Billy Tea was... - James from Billy Tea was very knowledgeable and provided a lot of great information on our day exploring the Daintree rainforest. I learned a lot despite not seeing many animals because it was simply too hot. The crew from Down Under were great and organized for the great barrier reef day. They took us to 2 spots and despite the boat having 150 participants, it did not seem crowded on the boat or at the reef. Food could have been better and the only drinks included are tea, tap water, coffee, and wine on the return trip. They sell an amazing ginger beer.

Great Barrier Reef great, Rainforest was good. - Daintree Rainforest: the trip was interesting, well organized. Very bumpy roads, great impressions of the rainforest. As foreigners, unfortunately, we only understood about 30% of what our very friendly guide in Aussie English told us. That was a shame. He always ran ahead and only the first had the opportunity to hear his explanations. Once we got lost because the guide was not waiting for us. We expect more from an ecocertivicated guide. Great Barrier Reef: Great young crew, Down under Cruise and dive gave us an incredibly nice day. Super organization, great snorkeling experiences, super explanations, clear instructions regarding the reef, very careful care of the snorkelers and divers, overall an unforgettable day.

Good Tour - Overall this was a great two day tour and felt like it flowed very well. The rainforest stops were great. The only thing I recommend is letting folks know they may want water shoes for the fresh swim due to the rocks. The Great Barrier Reef was great. Food was excellent for the buffet lunch. It did seem fairly organized except for trying to dive. Again, overall a great tour for the money.
