Did the night tour with Kayne. He is a fabulous tour guide, full of knowledge and so passionate about the Daintree rainforest. Although we didn’t see many larger animals, we were very intrigued by all the smaller insects and fungi! Definitely recommend this tour, would love to do it again after some rain.

The Daintree Night Walk was really good. Our guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable with great stories and information. It was very special to be out at night in the rain forest.

I did the guided night walk and it was brilliant. It lasted 2-2.5hr. My guide, Kane, was exceptionally knowledgable on not just the local flora and fauna, but the wider area and its history. Despite the fact the area had only recently opened up to the public after Cyclone Jasper devastated the area, the group got to see a whole host of fungi, plants, insects, and even mammals. Each that we saw was met with engaging facts and exploration of the symbiosis of the rainforest. A well crafted story from start to finish. Thoroughly recommend! (Bring a better than a phone camera if you want to photograph the coolest stuff)

Incredible experience. Kane our guide was so knowledgeable and so enthusiastic. Don't shy away from going on a rainy night, as that is when it all comes to life. Came out knowing so much more about the Daintree.

Tough to review this one, guide was lovely and enthusiastic but didn't lead the tour effectively and I felt unsafe at times. My expectations from tour may have been wrong to start with? I had hoped to learn more about the forest rather than just take a walk. I wouldn't have gone into the forest at night without a guide so that was useful as interesting to see it at night and saw some things I wouldn't have seen otherwise. However, I was expecting to be able to talk to the guide and learn information. Met at reception, disorganised as late start and more people than she was expecting. Had to fill in electronic waiver but I never even saw it as had no internet access and you had to use your own phone. In terms of knowing who was with us there was a count at the beginning of the evening and a count at the end of the evening on return, she had no idea whether people were missing during the tour and the group got quite separated at times. At times I felt unsafe due to the strange behaviour of one individual on the tour and also due to the fact we were so far behind and couldn't hear anything that we had no idea what was dangerous and what wasn't. I had really looked forward to learning and understanding our environment but that didn't happen. I'm reasonably adventurous but completely new to the rainforest environment and therefore cautious which is why I'd booked the tour. The initial walking pace was to fast for some, I suspect a nervousness from the guide (who seemed more comfortable with insects than people) and just too many people in the group. We couldn't hear what she was saying on the walk as the footsteps drowned out her voice she talked as she walked and she faced forward at the front of the group. The photo is the closest we got to the guide during the evening. When the tour started I was aware we had no idea what was going on as we couldn't hear at the back and after hearing something about scorpions I felt the need to speak up and explain the difficulties we were having ( no point in complaining later if you don't speak up at time). I asked if it were possible for her to point things out to the front of the group, then go past but her stay with the point of interest until we'd all seen it and heard about it. She did this once or twice but that was it. Most of the time we knew the front of the group had stopped to see something then by the time we got to it we had to try and figure out what we were looking for. Didn't get to speak to the guide once throughout the tour. I tried getting to the front of the group but just kept getting barged backwards which felt unsafe in the night forest. Eventually the back group of about 6 of us just followed everyone for the walk. Things were made harder as the torches weren't great, mine was particularly poor and my partner kindly swapped. The guides torch was significantly better but no use to the back party of the group as she'd moved the torch by the time we got there. Guide clearly had a passion for the subject. I'm not sure if she was out of her depth with the numbers or just generally people. Tour could be improved by either smaller group, max 10, a second guide at the back of the group or better group management making sure the whole group was gathered and stationary before talking and then ensuring everyone had a chance to see. Disappointed in tour but interesting to have a walk at night. Lots to see if you know what you're looking for.

Kane is a passionate and knowledgeable guide, who made this tour very interesting. There were many highlights including (but not limited to) scorpions, peppermint bugs, trapdoor spider homes, bandicoots, plants like wait a while and fluorescent lichen. However watching the mushrooms sporing was just amazing. We were quite exhausted after a great day with Kel, but we still managed to enjoy and learn from Kane. Be aware though - 1.5 hours easily turns into 2.5 hours with so much to see! Thanks Kane! Thanks to Kel too for a FUNtastic 2 day tour to Cooktown! :)

The guide was very enthusiastic and gave a lot of interesting information. We had a very enjoyable evening and learned a lot.

Amazing guide sharing experiences & information that we will treasure forever. Our guide managed group incredibly well despite being given over twice the number of people he was expecting. Wonderful & would recommend to all.

Our experience with Far North Escapes was great. Shania took care of our transfer from Cairns to the Daintree Lodge. Immediately she made us feel at ease and welcome, taking time to explain the history and the importance of the Daintree National Park. The two hours ride felt like we were visiting with a good friend. Kane took care of our night walk and the full day 4WD tour to Cooktown and Daintree tour. Kane’s knowledge and passion for the Daintree all encompassing life is amazing. During the night walk he showed us plants and animals to our amazement and the delight of the children present in our group. During the 4WD day tour we were treated to beautiful sights complemented with history, interesting facts and stories.

We took the night tour on the 21st of September. The depth of knowledge of the guide was appalling. We spent our time largely on the main boardwalk (which we had already walked on that day) looking at plants in the dark which we could see much better in daylight. In terms of wildlife we saw ants, a praying mantis type insect and some very small scorpions that live in the mortar joints of a stone seat on the path. The group was too large to hear easily, the torches were not overly bright and overall it was a real disappointment. I understand that you can not be guaranteed to see wildlife but you would expect a guide to be very knowledgeable about what he is showing you on a set walk that he is familiar with. Just not good enough.
