A great opportunity to get into the rainforest and learn about its intricacies from someone with expert knowledge. It was disappointing that the trip was advertised as being able to swim in the Mossman Gorge, yet when it rains it is not safe. And it rains often, and was raining the day I was there. Our guide told us not to swim. I also found out after the trip that it is a sacred Aboriginal site, so swimming isn't appropriate. I'm glad I didn't swim, but it is a shame that the site is not respected as an Aboriginal sacred site. Also, one of the tour highlights at the cultural centre was a smoke ceremony and introduction to local Aboriginal culture. This lasted for around 5mins. Although a very interesting part of the tour, it was not what I expected. The Daintree River cruise was beautiful and we saw some birdlike and 3 crocodiles. A highlight was walking through the rainforest track at Cape Tribulation and learning about the flora & fauna.

This was a wonderful tour, the host Chris was very knowledgeable, entertaining and well organised. The train trip and the sky cable were fantastic experiences and well worth it with amazing views of the stunning rain forest. I would recommend this tour to all visitors to Cairns and Port Douglas.

We booked this tour because we were a family group of various ages and ability, including a young toddler. The fact that we had options to either see the ocean life by glass bottom boat or snorkeling suited each of us. The crew were fantastic. They looked after us all and explained everything clearly. They had good knowledge of the coral reef and it's inhabitants. We saw several turtles and reef sharks from the glass bottomed boat. Those that chose to snorkel were less fortunate but still saw enough variety of fish to make it a worthwhile adventure. The low tide that afternoon made conditions slightly murkier than the usually crystal clear waters. You just have to accept nature as it presents itself to you. We all came away having had a lovely afternoon in and on the sea at the Low Isles.

The staff was amazing, attentive, and focused on safety and fun. A+ The snorkeling was also outstanding. Lunch, drinks, cookies on board delightful. Loved it. Weather wasn't good, bit no one can affect that. Memorable experience and would recommend this cruise and boat.

A fantastic day! Our guide Peer was absolutely brilliant, his knowledge was outstanding, we learnt so much about the Daintree Rainforest and the whole ecosystem. We were also very lucky to be able to see a cassowaries and a few crocodiles! Highly recommend this tour and hopefully you are lucky enough to get Peer as your guide.

The skyrail was a lot of fun and we met interesting people in our car. The views were spectacular! The town of Kaunda was nice and we had a great time at their zoo (an optional, additional expense). There were some nice shops all over town. Unfortunately, our visit was on a Tuesday, when many of the shops, especially those making hand crafts, were closed. The train ride home in Gold Class was exceptional! We sat in big comfy chairs and were served food and wine/beer all included! Our friends who didn’t book gold class, sat on benches in train cars with a water cooler! Our posh ride home was the perfect end to a great day!

We went with our two year old. The staff was amazing so attentive even getting me a drink and making me lunch whilst my toddler slept on me. They were so helpful checking times for different activities and ensuring you get to experience everything you wanted to. Even with a 2 year old in tow we were able to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef. Go through the underwater tunnel, ride in the submarine and also take a lovely 10 minute helicopter ride to see the Great Barrier Reef from the sky. Absolutely unbelievable and well worth the extra money. Lunch was really delicious too and everything is so well thought out. If you’re visiting port Douglas it’s worth every penny.

The tour operators were very accommodating to both the experienced and novice swimmers. They were very vigilant in making sure all snorkelers were safe, although we had mild waves. The breakfast, lunch and afternoon snacks were delicious. The snorkeling areas on the reef were beautiful with plenty of fish and coral life. The onboard presentation by the marine biologist was very informative before we went into the ocean. All in all it was a highlight of our trip to Australia.
