We had a wonderful experience on this tour. Our guide, Tommy, was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and interactive throughout the day, which made the whole trip even more enjoyable. He shared so many interesting facts and stories, and his passion for the area really stood out. Visiting the Daintree Rainforest known as the world’s oldest rainforest was absolutely spectacular. The scenery was breathtaking, and it felt amazing to be surrounded by such ancient natural beauty. Overall, it was a well organised and memorable tour. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the region and looking for a meaningful and enriching experience.

The tour was extremely professional, our tour guide Mel was just wonderful,she kept us informed from start to finish.
The tour was also made so great as the tourists on the bus were all a fantastic group.
I would re recommend this tour very highly.
Great day visiting The Rainforest & Mossman Gorge. Super knowledgeable guide in Dale who kept us entertained all day.
This tour was fantastic! James, our guide was brilliant. His knowledge of the flora and fauna was exceptional. We had an excellent day and would highly recommend.
Today was a small group of 10, and our guide—who also acted as the driver—kept introducing the history of Douglas and the Daintree Rainforest along the way. At each stop, we were given time to explore on our own. I accidentally left two pairs of sunglasses at the lunch spot, and the guide kindly arranged for someone to bring them to the next stop and hand them to me. I thought I would lose those two pairs of glasses, since the tour didn’t double back.
We had a fantastic day. Our guide, Ben, was absolutely brilliant and so informative - my 12 year old son said he’s now 10% smarter after spending the day with Ben! We covered several locations and Ben kept us entertained the whole journey with interesting facts. Definitely recommend this experience!
It was a great experience! John, our guide, was amazing (also good party tips). We had an amazing time around the rainforest: checked all the key points, took 10/10 pictures, even saw a cassowary (didn’t know about them before that tour lol). Highly recommended!
There are lots of places we would walk past and wouldn’t even know what we saw , with the guide of Tom , he was very informative and his knowledge is great.
Well done guys, it was definitely worth it.
Fabulous experience. Cannot praise Mel enough for her friendlyness and commitment. We saw lovely scenery, Croodiles and Cassowary - all the things we wanted to.
Great day out with some really nice people.
Great experience with history and knowledge provided by the tour guide Mel of Daintree Rainforest and its surrounding towns.

Thank you for your review, Frank!
We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your day exploring the Daintree Rainforest. Mel is incredibly passionate about the region, and we're pleased her knowledge of the rainforest and local history helped make your experience so memorable.
Thank you for travelling with us, and we hope to welcome you back to Tropical North Queensland again soon!
A nice pathway walk and tour bus through daintree and mossman gorge. Includes a light breakfast and lunch.
Absolutely brilliant day out. Ben, our guide, was just excellent. Knowledgable and funny, Ben is clearly passionate about Daintree, its ecology and more widely the Port Douglas area and wider Australia. We learned so much and saw things we would have missed if we had done it on our own. Plenty opportunity for photos, coffee and lunch were included which were both good. We would highly recommend this trip
Great day out. Rain forest stunning and boat trip in the mangroves amazing. Our guide was full of stories and informstion
Good guide , and awesome experience , awesome views and commentary , lovely food and story telling by guide
Ben was a very knowledgeable kind tour guide who really enjoys what he’s doing. We had 8 participants on his particular tour.
Adjustments were made to bring lunch forward due to thunder, lightning and rain, and have the boat tour afterwards. Due to the change in weather, the boat tour was cut to half an hour instead of an hour. It was start of the wet season, and we didn’t spot any crocodiles, this is more the case in the cooler months. It was all well organised.
Despite the change in weather, the tour was still very enjoyable and unique.

We really enjoyed the day trip with John, he was awesome. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining.
Amazing full day experience! John was a fabulous tour guide. Made everyone feel welcome and knew everything there was to know about the venues visited, animals and nature.
Overall this tour was great. There is a lot of time spent driving in the van, however our tour guide Ben was excellent!! He was super personable and experienced. He consistently demonstrated his wealth of local knowledge between the many (~7) stops. The walking was relatively easy with minimal stairs.
This tour was definitely worth the price, thanks to our phenomenal guide Ben. He was extremely interesting and kind and funny and a great driver (which we also really appreciated!) The tour covered all the key sights in Daintree Rainforest, and we felt like we got to see lots. Our only real disappointment was that it was a bit quick at a couple of the stops (one of the beaches and the Mossman Gorge). We’d have loved an extra 30 minutes at each spot. I know the tour was already a long day for our guide, but an extra 30 - 60 minutes would have gone a long way to helping us feel completely fulfilled. We were also a little disappointed to learn that the tour operator bought a new bus (Mercedes Sprinter — our tour was the first in the new van), which held 14 people… three more than the “max 11” we were initially told when we booked.
Amazing day and experience.
Ben, our tour guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable.
Thank you for an amazing day. :)
We had such a wonderful day together as a family on this amazing tour! The guide was knowledgeable and answered all our questions. He was a true expert and spotted wildlife no one else even noticed.
Excellent tour director, Tomi! Knowledgeable and approachable! Eager to help and tried his best to make the tour memorable!
Wonderful day, learnt so much about the Daintree. Our guide Tomi was great, he was extremely knowledgeable.
It covers a bit of everything and fits quite a lot in. Not a lot in depth, but enough to get an idea about the rainforest.
We had a pleasant day visiting various rainforest sites, but overall the tour was quite disappointing because the tour did not include three activities that were on the itinerary that we purchased. There was no visit to the Jindalba Boardwalk, no Daintree River Cruise Centre (river tour), and no Wildlife Habitat Port Douglas. We hadn't received any notice that the itinerary had changed or any offer to book a different tour - the itinerary was simply different than what was originally booked. It was particularly disappointing that we didn't go to the Wildlife Habitat Port Douglas, and we didn't have a chance to see it on our own due to our travel schedule. At least, I will give some credit to Viator, who responded to my complaint message and provided a modest, partial refund.
Steve was a great historian. We learned a lot about the area. He was also an excellent botanist. He showed us some things that we would have missed in just walking down the trail. We lucked out on the weather as we only got rain at the very end of our trip. This was the rainy season so we expected to have rain all day, but we were fortunate. We had a very nice hot lunch and break in the middle of the trip. This was an excellent experience and Steve deserves a lot of credit for all that he did to inform us about Australia and the Daintree rainforest. I highly recommend this excursion.
Our host Ben was awesome, We booked the Mossman Gorge Daintree half day tour. The weather was beautiful and both spots are incredible. Thank you Ben for taking us on an incredible adventure and for the delicious lunch you provided. Ben is also very knowledgeable and informative. Highly recommend!
Tour guide Steve was the ultimate. His knowledge, humor, attentiveness and entertainment A1. The day was action packed and informative. What we learnt certainly expanded the importance of preservation of nature and fauna. Recommend the tour to all ages. Thank you, Daintree Adventures.
Steve took us on a wonderful tour of the rainforest. He was very knowledgeable and also shared with us a bit of Australia’s history in a funny and entertaining way. Lunch and the ice cream stop were tasty (go with an exotic flavor- you won’t be sorry)
A fantastic tour with Steve. One of the most knowledgeable guys I have ever met. A must do tour!. Steve explained everything from start to finish. Such a friendly welcoming guy. Mossman Gorge was amazing to see. We then went on to crocodile spotting and were lucky enough to see them. Also visited Wonga beach. Tea/coffee, rolls, cake, fruit were all supplied for you. A really fabulous tour and can't recommend it enough. Thank you so much, Jane and Paul.
