Wonderful day in the Australian rainforest! - I went on this trip with a friend and we both thoroughly enjoyed it! It was a full day and we got to see many different things. Our guide, James, was informative and worked really hard to help spot as many animals as possible. Some highlights were seeing kangaroos, wallabies, pademelons, water dragons, and the beautiful waterfalls. Highly recommend this tour!

The only downside was the mic in the van did not work all the time. But he did a good job getting it to work and speaking up when it didn’t work,

A lot to do , good value - It was really fun there was A LOT of stops. We did about an hour ride to the first rain forest. Then an over look cafe. Then a beautiful mountain top view. Then stopped for some stores for about an hour and half, then went to the glow worm cave, then the last rain forest. We were exhausted after but our tour guide was wonderful and spotted many critters. I felt like it was a great bang for your buck.

Amazing ! - Pick up easy to find, small group of 16 . Bruce was our driver for the day set off, Bruces running commentary was fab so knowledgable about the drive ! It did start raining on the first walk but we were all provided with ponchos, umbrellas . Saw a bearded water dragon and the biggest butterfly, birds on the rainforest floor . The sounds of birds n animals were amazing . The walk to the waterfall was stunning, bruce stopping and giving talks about what we could see and hear . It was muddy the rain was quite heavy but i think that the rain added to the beauty of the walk . Absolutely love it ! Next stop was the gloworm caves . So interesting to hear about those too . A lovely stop very informative . Frog hollow was interesting too . Saw a huge bearded water dragon and a small lizard in the walk to the caves . These are in the wild and running around . We then drove for lunch stopping to eat drink . Some of the shops were amazing arty crafty shops . Did plenty of shopping there . Public toilets are also along the way everywhere you go . The last stop to the huge waterfall was stunning easy walking, although the rain was heavier . The cave at the end was just amazing, we actually saw gloworms in the roof of the caves too . We then stopped at the stone dam for a hot drink the cafe had some amazing cakes too ! Views were stunning . It is a long day, picked up 7.30am dropped off at 5.10pm . Its well worth it theres no way i would have managed to get there by myself without hiring a car . You vist stunning places and this trip is well worth it . Bruce is so funny and makes the trip . Perfect day

Sites are worth seeing - Excellent guided tour of rain forest with James making an incredible effort to find animals and provide relevant commentary. The wearing part of the day was a teenager.
