Awesome trip and extremely enjoyable day. Worth it!
Looking at the iternerary we wondered why we picked this long ago... We had the best day!!! Our tour guide, Rene was the best. Friendly, energetic, enthusiastic, calm. And had a great Playlist! We had a great mix of people on the tour who matched Rene's spirit. The sights were amazing and well spaced. We saw a tree kangaroo and a couple of platypus. It turned out to be her first trip as a guide and you would not have known that.

Near perfect experience
The experience was fantastic. I enjoyed it. The only thing I can recommend for the tour guide/driver is to do trivia facts or live commentaries while driving and walking so it will not be boring during the travel. Other than this, it was near perfect experience. Thank you Caroline for being the tour guide

Unforgettable Encounter of Cairns’ Nature
Our guide Clayton is passionate! We were so lucky to have met many possums, bandicoot, echidna, and CASSOWARY!

Chasing waterfalls.
A fantastic day out for any nature lover or those unfamiliar with rainforest environments. Pristine waterfalls, easy graded walking tracks, and if you’re lucky enough, native wildlife. Wear good water shoes if swimming at the waterfalls. Incredible guides who were knowledgeable and friendly with a warm sense of humour and made everyone feel welcome and comfortable throughout the whole day. 10 out of 10 day.

Fantastic and fun tour!
Our guide was fantastic! He was extremely knowledgeable on Australian history, animal, and plant life, skilled in finding animals, and very fun and personable. We saw more than we had hoped to see including the wild platypus. The food for tea and dinner was great and was a fantastic local place away from tourist centers to get a real feel for the area. We could not have hoped for anything more than what this tour provided.

A must do experience in Cairns
This was such a wonderful experience. Our guide Clayton went above and beyond to share background and facts about what you saw during your walks. Such a pleasant and knowledgeable guide!! I can’t recommend this excursion enough-we saw so many local animals that we would have otherwise missed including the platypus!! The tea was lovely and the dinner was a great meal (I recommend the garlic prawns!)

Fun tour with many animals
The tour is wonderful if you want to see some wildlife. It requires a bit of fitness because some of the animals move quickly but, it is well worth the effort to see them in their natural habitats.

The search for platypus
Paul is a really experienced and enthusiastic guide. We managed to find platypus, possum, forest dragon, and pademelon

Amazing small group animal spotting
We had the an outstanding experience! Paul is thoughtful, very well organized and prepared, very knowledgeable and has great stories to tell. He provides the binoculars; and teaches you how to use them. He also takes the best pictures while you focus on seeing the animals he spots for you. And spot animals he can! It’s uncanny what he can point out. And a great dinner too! Great day!
