Our guide Adam full of knowledge about everything. This is one tour that you must do if you are up in Far North QueenslandWritten 27 November 2023
- cynthiajX9015GA0 contributionsAn Awesome Day with Matt & Daintree Discovery ToursWe visited the Daintree Rainforest with family and friends back in October. We spent the day with Daintree Discovery Tours and had a great experience. In particular, I want to take a minute to talk about Matt, our guide on this wonderful excursion. Matt used to be a teacher. But he gave all that up for this dream job of taking folks like us on out into the Rainforest. And what a teacher he was! Matt's accent and mannerisms made me feel like I was in Professor Lupin's class at Hogwarts. He was truly a joy to be around! I had so many videos from this day, but I my favorites are of the Cassowary we encountered on our trip and of Matt telling us about Captain Cook and the crew of the Endeavor getting stuck at Cape Tribulation. I'm not sure I can upload a video, but I'll try to give you a couple of pics from our day. I grabbed a still shot of the Cassowary as she meandered past us. I would highly recommend Daintree Discovery Tours and Matt, in particular, as our time with him was awesome!Written 27 November 2023
- M6571SZryanl0 contributionsFull day rainforest tourAdam was an excellent driver and knowledgeable tour guide. We did the full-day tour and saw a good variety of things. We felt very safe and informed. This ended up being 10 hours from pick up to drop off so plan accordingly. Only lost cell reception for about 3 hours of that.Written 23 November 2023

- Coastal403700 contributionsDaintree experienceWe had an amazing time. Adam keep us entertained all day. He was so enthusiastic and funny. Learnt lots about the environs and Mossman Gorge was beautiful. Great lunch and beautiful walk through the Daintree Forest the most stunning plants. Amazing ice-cream stop too And last a boat trip down the river croc spotting & 1 youngster found. Great day thank you.Written 20 November 2023
- yawnsandsmiles0 contributionsOne of the best tours I’ve been onAmazing experience with our very knowledgeable tour guide, Adam! As you walk through the Daintree Rainforest, there’s a lot of things you’d miss out on if you weren’t with a guided tour. So, I found this tour very worth it and a great experience. Adam was very sharp and knowledgeable, so he was able to point out things such as the Boyd’s forest dragon, which was camouflaged to a tree, and explain to us about all the different kinds flora and fauna. There was also some driving during the tour, so I appreciated how Adam spent that time explaining the history of Port Douglas, the rainforest and various things. It made the ride a lot more fun and passed the time. Highlights of the tour include: - the tropical flavored daintree ice cream (truly unforgettable and delicious) - the swim in the creek was unique and refreshing - seeing the flora and fauna, but also learning about the background of each - learning about the history of the Kuku Yalanji - Mount Alexandra lookout - Ferry ride to see the mangroves + wildlife (crocs) Exceeded expectations and highly recommend.Written 19 November 2023
- W9970IUsusanc0 contributionsDaintree river tripWe did the half day tour and Kim was our guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and and kept us entertained. A bonus on the River boat trip was seeing a massive Crocodile( realise we were lucky) also the swim in the gorge among rain forest was beautiful. Half a day suited us fine. Met some lovely people on our tour.Written 19 November 2023
- saragio150 contributionsAn Excellent Tour - strongly recommend !Did the afternoon tour with Kim as our guide. It was an enjoyable and memorable day out. Travel by minibus with Kim giving a good commentary about local places, aboriginal culture, the tropical forest, birds and wildlife. Drove us to the Daintree river for our one hour cruise again with an informative boat captain. Saw a crocodile swimming in the river which was amazing ! After the cruise driven to Mossman Gorge for a swim in the river, which was again an amazing experience. There is an excellent gift shop at the gorge. An excellent 1/2 day out, strongly recommend. Kim was a great guideWritten 19 November 2023

Our Tour guide Mel was the highlight of our tour. She was very informative and knowledgeable with a bit of comedy thrown in.
Bruce Belchers Daintree river cruise was informative yet relaxing.
The Mossman gorge was beautiful and our guided walk was interesting with an opportunity to soak our hot tired feet in the refreshing water at the end.

We really wanted to focus mostly on the Rainforest and get an interpretive walk. Instead, we got a really rushed 5 minute walk through which most of us couldn’t hear because our guide Kim was walking and talking at the same time, and we got strung out along the walkway. We opted not to swim in the river but did the walk in the rainforest instead. We felt the River cruise to see the crocs was just OK - saw one croc on the bank and two others through the trees. Not exactly thrilling. Time of year I guess is bad for seeing birds, frogs, snakes - saw NONE of these. Lots of driving. Vehicle was nice and clean. We wished we had just booked transportation up to Mossman Gorge Centre and back, and had the aboriginal guided tour instead.

Mic was a wonderful tour guide. Very informative and nice. The afternoon tour was just the right amount and varied with the river cruise and walk through the rainforest. At the end with Mic's encouragement, many of us took a swim in the pristine gorge!

Excellent from start to finish. Peer was our very nice and knowledgeable guide. The boat trip on the Daintree with Bruce was amazing, saw a croc. The rain forest and Mossman gorge swim were great. The water was so clear and a really nice time to cool off. The whole trip was well planned and great to have someone organise you so you can appreciate your surroundings. Highly recommend.

Fantastic afternoon seeing the world's most ancient rainforest. Our driver and local guide, Mel, kept us well entertained and shared her knowledge and passion for the local area and the Daintree rainforest in particular.
Highlights were seeing two crocodiles on the river tour, and swimming in the crystal clear stream in Mossman Gorge.
It would have been great to see more wildlife while we were there, but I guess you'd need the full day tour and a bit of luck to see everything Daintree has to offer.

It sounds like you had a fantastic afternoon exploring the Daintree Rainforest with Mel as your guide! It's great that you enjoyed the river tour with crocodile sightings and the refreshing swim in Mossman Gorge. While seeing more wildlife can require a bit of luck, the full-day tour often provides more opportunities for such encounters. We appreciate your feedback and are glad you had a memorable experience. If you ever return for a longer tour, we hope you get to see even more of the Daintree's diverse wildlife.
