Only having 3 days in Cape Trib, we wanted to get a private tour guide with someone who really knew the area. Based on TA reviews, we booked with D'Arcy. It was an amazing day - we made the right decision! We communicated via e-mail as to what we wanted to get out of our day: visits to places that... More

I had the special opportunity to visit the Daintree area and had the most memorable and awesome tour with Mike D'Arcy. He is really friendly, very knowledgable, and passionate about the culture, wildlife, rainforest, history, and the people in the community. He made me feel special like a houseguest. He was very accomodating and flexible making my tour unique. The... More

I tend to avoid tours when travelling but when I arrived in Daintree I noticed my driver’s licence had expired. The only realistic option for exploring Daintree, then, was by booking a tour and hoping for the best. I opted for one of the bigger tour operators, but the trip was a huge disappointment. I decided to try again with... More

I only did the 1/2 day tour but right from the start you know you're in for a treat. Not only does Mike have extensive knowledge of the area, and it's flora and fauna, but you actually get to see lots of it too. Highlights were the millions of soldier crabs on the beach and the dip in a creek... More

Thanks Mike for our fascinating tour in November 2012. We were lucky enough to witness a 'Smoking Ceremony' at the Wujal Wujal community and we are extremely thankful. Where do you store all that information that you so glady share - made for a truly interesting day.

Mike and Trish are the best! We did a private tour and each one of us (my husband and I and my son and daughter ages 19 and 21) learned so much about many different things and found every aspect of the tour to be so interesting and enjoyable. We saw cassowaries, wallabies and hundreds of crabs on the beach,... More

I really enjoyed Mike's tour. It was totally worth the time and the money. Mike is very knowledgeable about the rainforest, its history, the geography, the birds and the other animals living in it. By driving through the forest you get the real feeling of it. Mike and Trish are also very nice people, and it was a pleasure to... More

Spending five days in the Daintree we did and saw a lot. An afternoon with D'arcy however was easily the most informative and interesting. This is much more than just a 4WD tour, D'arcy (or Mike) takes the time to make the trip personal, is flexible to accommodate special request and has an answer for every question whether it's Daintree...

Mike was a fantastic guide, with a sound knowledge of the Daintree and beyond. The tour had a few stops along the way before reaching the beautiful Wujal Wujal Falls. Overall the experience was very professional and to top it off Mike provided home made banana and coconut cake.

Did a 4wd trip into rainforest with mike. Amazing. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the country. He introduced us to a local person Francis Walker who explained the local aboriginal lifestyle to us. It was incredible to get an insight into synch a different way of life. Thanks Mike you brought the rainforest alive for us!!
