This Jungle Escapes tour was absolutely amazing and a must if you enjoy wildlife and nature. A big thank you to Ian for getting me situated - I had a hiccup with my reservation the first night but he allowed me to move it to the following night. The night of the tour itself was so incredible. Up in Cape Trib for a week, I had gone on quite a few “night walks” myself on the Dubuji boardwalk. This experience was unparalleled though - exclusive access in unlogged rainforest… during the rain. Nat (I believe that was her name?) was our tour guide and she was super informative and was able to spot all sorts of plants and critters and tell us about them. We saw snails, stick bugs, crickets with MASSIVE antennae, heaps of spiders, bioluminescent fungi… but the highlight of the night for me was seeing not one, but TWO Boyd’s forest dragons. I was very pleased by the tour’s approach to the wildlife. They asked us not to shine our lights at them due to them sleeping at night and their sensitive eyes. I don’t think a lot of tours would have that same respect for wildlife. To add to the ambience of the tour… 1/3 of the way through, a deluge of rain began. But hey - that’s the rainforest. Huge thank you to the Jungle Escapes team for making my last night in Cape Tribulation so wonderful!

Well. Nothing much to see. The guide was a lovely and knowledgeable girl and that Meade the walk better however lack of every made it a bit of a bad walk.

Booked a night tour with Jungle Escapes for 25th Feb 2023 through Marty at Visit Cairns - printed off our voucher, which told us to go to the starting point (end of Camelot Close) at 7:15pm. We waited from 7:10pm to 7:40pm but no-one arrived. We tried the number (+61407734702) a few times but it went to voicemail each time (we also left a message). We then walked back along the 1km ish road and didn't see anyone along the way. A shame as this was what we were looking forward to the most in Cape Tribulation, and the previous reviews were so good. We were very disappointed with the whole experience.

One of the highlights of this walk, is learning that people like Ian are doing their part to protect parts of the world that would otherwise be ruined by commercial development. The experience itself was great and Ian is incredibly knowledgable. We walked in September 2022, which is unusually cold so quite pleasant for us. We spotted both a short nosed and long nosed bandicoot, leaf tailed gecko, green tree frog, Boyd's forest dragon, a few huntsman spiders, glowing lichen, and were educated on the various flora and fauna in the area. I must admit that I was nervous about heading out into the rainforest at night, surrounded by bugs and with threats of snakes and spiders, but the experience was far from that at this time of year. Thanks Ian!

Such a great night discovering the rainforest creatures of the night! The guide was great fun and very knowledgeable, and looks after everyone in the group. Would highly recommend to see a side not commonly seen in such a beautiful unique place, through a local business genuinely interested in supporting the conservation of the area.

Magical night walk in the ring forest. Ian was very helpful and went above and beyond to make the experience amazing.

This was a one-of-a-kind experience. Ian was super friendly, and his knowledge exceeded expectations. He is an actual qualified science and his passion for the rainforest is everything you want. This experience was a once in a lifetime. A must do in Cape Trib.

Ian was incredibly knowledgeable about the area and I learned so much! While we didn't manage to spot any mammals, Ian kept us entertained the whole walk and we saw plenty of other wildlife. I would absoutely recommend this experience if you're interested in learning about the rainforest - it really adds to your appreciation of the self-guided walks as well.

This is a stunning experience to experience the rainforest and all its animal and plant treasures. Unforgettable to stand listening to the forest even when it rained. Host Ian Samuels is immensely knowledgeable about the forest and the area. Go go go it’s amazing.

I was very privileged to have a private night tour of the rainforest with Ian 10 days ago when I was up at Cape Tribulation and no one else showed up! Ian has 20+ years experience and is an incredible source of knowledge. He also has an eagle eye and could spot animals and insects that I would not have seen otherwise. I took the opportunity to ask him every single question I had, including how to distinguish the male from the female huntsman spiders. It is also really relaxing to walk at night in the forest with such an incredible guide, listening to the sounds of the forest, contemplating trees, some that are 800 years old..A MUST DO tour when in Cape Tribulation, highly recommend it. Bring cash! and insect repellent! :-) Note: If you don't have a car or simply wanna walk a bit more that evening, the walk from Fern Tree Lodge up the road to the meeting point is only 15 minutes.
