Unique way to see the Daintree, floating in style

Marianne_B, Jul 2024
Loved this tour! Best part was floating down the river. Also enjoyed the COLD plunge by Mossman Gorge. Lunch was tasty. Guides were fantastic and made the experience truly enjoyable. Learned a lot about the Daintree, but mostly had a wonderful day outdoors.

Floating down the river on the raft looking at the canopy was a bit of paradise! Our guides, Trent and Francisco were wonderful - very engaged and knowledgeable! Excellent day!

Awesome

Nicole_H, Jan 2023
Drifting along Mossman River was an amazing experience. Vincent was a great tour guide. Unfortunately we didn’t get to do the hike part of the tour due to the National park being closed and they gave us a partial refund. The rest was incredible though.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thank you so much Nicole for your review. It is unfortunate that we couldn't do the walk around the Gorge. If you return please let us know and we will aim to showcase the rainforest to you. Kind Regards Margaret

Flaoting down the river...

Shane_K, Mar 2022
Flaoting down the river on a blow up bed was so relaxing, and swimming in the water after the 2km hike was so refreshing.
