Thank you, this is a fantastic review for Tony's Tropical Tours and our guides.

Thomas_H, Aug 2026
Informative and entertaining. This tour was such a great way to spend the day and learn a bit more about the area. The guide was so knowledgeable and kept us engaged the entire time.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you for your wonderful review. One of the great aspects of our tours that we pride ourselves on is our guides, without their expertise we would only be drivers. We hope to continue to make many more great experiences and memories for guests.

Daintree experience

Geraldine_R, Aug 2026
We had a fantastic day on this tour . Ash our tour guide was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the rain forest and all its species. This was complimented by Rays humour on the river cruise. To top it all we were so lucky to see crocodiles and a cassowary. The day was superbly rounded off by amazing icecream. We travelled with teenage daughters and we all thoroughly enjoyed the day. I would definitely recommend this tour. A great experience.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you so much for such a wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you and your teenage daughters had such a fantastic day with us. It sounds like you were incredibly lucky with the wildlife sightings — a crocodile AND a cassowary! 🐊We’ll be sure to pass your lovely comments on to Ash and Ray. And of course, no Daintree day is complete without some delicious ice cream! 🍦 Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to see you all again one day!

Friendly and fun.

Peter_N, Aug 2026
An excellent small group tour into the Daintree. Our guide Adam was just the right person for the job - his love for the area was obvious and he was friendly, helpful, informative, and strove to ensure that each person have the best experience possible. He even doubled back after spotting an unusual amount of traffic, guessing that vehicles were stationary due to a cassowary sighting. He was correct and we were privileged to watch a male cassowary shepherd 2 chicks into the rainforest. Really enjoyed the day, well worth the money - recommended !!

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you so much for such a wonderful and thoughtful review! We’re absolutely delighted to hear you enjoyed your day with us and that Adam helped make it such a memorable experience. That cassowary encounter sounds incredibly special! It’s fantastic that Adam trusted his instincts and doubled back—you certainly got a very lucky glimpse into the rainforest that day! Seeing a male cassowary with two chicks is a pretty amazing moment to take home with you! We’ll be sure to share your lovely feedback with Adam. His genuine passion for the Daintree and care for our guests really shines through, so we know he’ll be thrilled to hear how much you appreciated it. Thank you for choosing Tony’s Tropical Tours and for recommending us. We’re so glad you felt the day was worth it! 😊

Great adventure

Cal was a great guide. Highlights were Mossman Gorge and walking in the rain forest. Sensible shoes definitely required for Noah Valley.

Response from Host, Aug 2026

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re really pleased to hear you had such a great day, especially enjoying Mossman Gorge and the rainforest walk.

Was an excellent all round tour. Ash was very knowledgeable and made the experience all the more memorable.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thanks for the excellent review, Russ. We are lucky at Tony's Tropical Tours to have such knowledgeable guides, and Ash is one the best. The beautiful Daintree Rainforest also helps. Where the rainforest sweeps down the mountains onto the white sand beaches of the Coral Sea. I hope the rest of your holiday in far North Queensland was just as memorable.

A must do!

Karen_W, Jul 2026
This Daintree Rainforest tour was one of the absolute highlights of my trip to Australia! The day was very well organized, with perfect timing so we never felt rushed. Randall was an incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining guide who shared so much about the rainforest, wildlife, and local history while keeping the day fun. The food was also delicious and a nice bonus. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting an unforgettable Daintree experience!

Great way to see a lot of the Daintree in one day

Friendly small tour, very well organised, The Daintree is spectacular, and you see many wonderful sights in one day. We were lucky to see a pair of cassowaries.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thanks Edward, reading your review was a great way to start my day. I'm thrilled you enjoyed your Tony's Tropical Tour and what a bonus seeing a pair a cassowary. We hope to see you back again soon.

Nicholas_S, Jul 2026
Excellent small group trip. A little rushed in some of the spots but Kel was great in giving just the right amount of info. Really enjoyed the lunch and the watering hole and the mossman river was great for croc spotting.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Hi Nichola, what a wonderful review for Kel and Tony's Tropical Tours. Kel is a fantastic guide and will be thrilled you enjoyed the day with her visiting the Daintree National Park

Rainforest tour

Michael_S, Jul 2026
Great day. First I’ll state the bad. Booked several weeks prior for the earliest tour of the day. Day before I received a call we were moved to the later tour. Learned that there were large groups on the early tour and they bumped us without asking. That normally would have made for a bad review. However, our tour guide, Ash, was the best. He really cares about the forest, animals and was full of insight. He was by far the best tour guide we have had so far in Australia. We saw the Boyd forest lizard. Crocodiles and a cassowarie. The day turned out being awesome.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Good morning, Micheal, thanks for taking the time to review your tour with Ash. We do apologize about having to move you at the last minute, it's very rare this happens and only during the school holidays when we are fully booked. I'm so glad you enjoyed your day with Ash, he really is a top guide. I hope the rest of your holiday was as enjoyable, and we hope to see you back on board again soon

Great way to explore the Daintree.

Jarrod_H, Jul 2026

Karen_B, Jun 2026
A really interesting day out. Our guide, Chris, was very knowledgeable and gave us lots of information about the areas we were seeing including the evolution of the rainforest and the characteristics of some of the trees, plants, insects and animals.

Great tour to Mossman Gorge and Daintree National Park

Gina_S, Jun 2026
The tour was great and our guide Rob was awesome. We walked through the rainforest and saw the wildlife and plants. The river cruise was fun seeing wild crocs and birds. Lunch was good. Our family of five with three adult children, 18 to 23, were glad we did it. We covered a lot in a day.

Allen_C, Jun 2026
Great tour and experience! Adam, our driver and guide, gave wonderful local insights and history during our trip. I had considered doing Daintree on my own, but I’m glad I didn’t as I wouldn’t have had such an in depth and varied experience on my own. Highly recommend.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thanks so much for the fantastic review. We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great day exploring the Daintree with Adam. He’s a wealth of local knowledge and loves sharing the stories, history and hidden gems that make this part of the world so special. The Daintree is an incredible place to visit, but having a local guide can really bring it to life, so we’re stoked to hear the experience exceeded what you would have discovered on your own. Thanks again for joining us and for taking the time to share your feedback. We hope to welcome you back to Tropical North Queensland for another adventure someday!
