Good tour with a knowledgeable guide. Good lunch stop too. Stops and sights were easy to get to. Only minor issue was it would have been good to hear with more than one day's notice that Cape Tribulation we could not do on tour due to past weather damage. However this did not spoil the tour for me and just means I need to visit again.

The trip is as described, hitting all places on the itinerary. Steve is a great and knowledgeable tour guide. Yes, I would have preferred more time in the Daintree, but it is a long day. Overall, a good day trip.

Too much time on bus picking up people from Palm Cove And Port Douglas. Nothing was that interesting. 12 hour day with 9 hours on the bus. Better to rent a car and do it on your own.

Beautiful tour of amazing australian landscapes and nature, James is the best tour guide if had in years at discovery tours. Laughing the whole trip, walking encyclopaedia, energetic!

Fantastic day and highly recommend. Our guide could not have done anymore for us. We were in a group of 16 in total and didn’t feel just a number. We enjoyed a fantastic lunch and learned so much en route to each of the locations

Very good experience, very good driver, route, mini bus, unfortunately it was raining and the cape Tribulation access was closed.

Hats off to our tour guide Carsten, who really tried his best to make a great day out of a very rainy one. We visited in March from Cairns and we woke up to TORRENTIAL downpour. I called the operator number and they confirmed we were still a go. We were promptly picked up and the morning was relatively smooth. The viewpoints were a bit tough because of the rain. The morning tea was lovely. Unfortunately, the crocodile ride was cancelled because the boat captain could not get to the tour spot. Plus the river was super high and super fast so probably would not have been safe … also lots of silt in the water so no crocodiles would have been visible anyways. The roads were under a lot of construction. There were many lights to direct traffic one way at a time because the roads were reduced to one lane. This is all because of a recent cyclone in December 2023. Lunch was very nice. The cultural center was the best part. The gents were able to organize a lesson / sharing from a local Elder to help compensate for all the weather caused mishaps - which was very considerate. I was personally really enthusiastic about swimming in the gorge based on other reviews but again with the rain and river rising and fast water - it was just not safe. Now the reason I have four stars was because of the price. Recognizing the weather mishaps were absolutely not within the control of the company, I really tried to think about the tour if it had had perfect weather and what not. Even if everything had been perfect. It is a tour that is definitely on the higher side. Now what is worth the price tag … well, if everything had been perfect with lots of sunshine and crocodiles and swimming in the gorge … maybe. So for others. Just be mindful that the itinerary is based on a perfect weather day and after all - you are in the rainforest ! This is not to take away from again - our very kind host Carsten, he really worked hard and always had a big smile on his face - which really helped with the rain and the mud haha Thank you !

We spent a week in Port Douglas and had an amazing family holiday. We stayed at "By The Sea" which was right next to Four Mile Beach and still close handy to the main street of Port Douglas. Day trips to Mossman Gorge, Hartleys Crocodile Farm and a day of snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef were highlights! Do yourself and your family a favour and spend a week in an amazing part of Australia

Our guide was wonderful. He was personable,well informed And made it both fun and interesting. We had a great view o forest, couldn't go to cape due to heavy storms washing out the roads.

Mossmon Gorge was excellent. But hardly had much time. Just an hour to walk, experience the Indegenous performance and the souvenir store . I wish they don’t do the market in the morning. Total waste of time! We could spend that half hour more at mossmon Gorge.
