About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Paulwhite82700 contributionsTop tour, top guide, top funReally good fun. Excellent guide (English northerner but properly knew his sh*t). Like stepping back in time in an ancient rainforest ending at a swim at the most beautiful waterfall you could imagineWritten 9 February 2025
- r0chellee0 contributionsRollercoaster of fun + knowledgeThey were very accommodating when we needed to change our booking at the last minute. Luckily for my partner and I, we were the only ones booked for that session and so it was private and so much more special for us. Wepiha was so knowledgeable and we learnt plenty about the daintree forest and history of the surroundings from him. We had so much fun riding and exploring in the ATV with him. I would definitely recommend this tour to others. It was like a history/geography lesson whilst on a rollercoaster of adventure, we drove straight into creeks and got soaked and Wep would go back through just because I was having so much fun!Written 13 December 2024
- 402brettt0 contributionsCassowary Fall's Tour a MUSTWhip was a brilliant guide, very knowledgeable, good humor, loved cruising around the Forrest and the swim/waterfall was the perfect finish.Written 30 November 2024
- carolined9910 contributionsPhenomenal!This trip was outstandingly good! Bruce was our driver and guide. He was the perfect combo of educational and fun. He knew so much about the rainforest, the area, its recent history with the floods that followed the cyclone. His personal story of escaping the floods with his nonagenarian father sounded terrifying and epic in equal measure. We enjoyed eating the fruits of the rainforest, the adrenaline rush of the ATV speeding through water, culminating in a swim at the Cassoway falls where we saw eel, fish and turtles. We were a small group so felt like we had the falls and all nature had to offer exclusively for ourselves. So lucky to have had this fabulous experience with Bruce on his very unique and special tour. I’ve not mentioned all the amazing sights, otherwise there would be no surprises! I would highly recommend this experience. Thanks Bruce for sharing all your expertise with us. We appreciate you. Caroline and Steve.Written 18 October 2024

- Relax302152609680 contributionsUnique experience in the rainforest.I recently went on the Cassowary Falls tour with Dan and Lisa, and it was fantastic! They were both very friendly, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. The falls themselves are breathtaking and the swim was perfect!! I recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique and memorable adventure.Written 23 July 2024
- V933YZsueb0 contributionsWow, Wow!! A truly wonderful rainforest & waterfall experienceWe did the 2.5hr ATV tour to Cassowary Falls today - what an amazing experience!! We were very privileged to be guided around this beautiful property, see all sorts of rainforest flora & fauna, beautiful butterflies, fish, turtles & eels in their natural environment & then visit the extraordinary Cassowary Falls for a swim (no croc’s!!). Our guide Bruce was very informative & interesting plus Andy (the owner) knew their “stuff”. An absolute must to truly experience life, living in this pristine environment. As an older couple, it was also our first time in an ATV - what a great way to get around!! Cassowary Falls also has 3 private villas on the property for accommodation which look terrific.Written 12 June 2024
- E9856WHmelissal0 contributionsGood value for great experience from passionate tour guideThe ride out was super fun! Then to arrive at such a beautiful spot was amazing. We all did the brave jump in and cooled off by the falls. Good photos guaranteed and we got to just have fun and enjoy and Andy the host took great shots and sent them to us. Great experience.Written 4 June 2024

WOW what an incredible and breathtaking experience; connecting with nature at its finest on so many levels. Bruce was brilliantly knowledgeable and passionate we have a new found respect and appreciation for nature. The ATV was an exhilarating and fun experience, well above our expectations! The cassowary rainfall was spectacular we were in total awe and were reminiscing about this day many hours and days after our tour ended. Highly recommend this bucket list experience!

Even though it was raining heavily, we loved it. In fact, the rain kind of added to the experience. The views were outstanding and the waterfalls were magnificent, especially after so much rain. However, the best part was our guide Whipeeha. He was informative in an inserting, interactive and fun way that made us all feel involved and engaged and hungry for his next bit if info. Thank you very much Whipeeha, hope our paths will meet again some day.

This tour was the absolute highlight of our trip to Australia! Our guide was phenomenal—his deep knowledge of the rainforest made every moment fascinating. He shared incredible and unique facts about the plants, insects, and fruits we encountered, making us feel like we were uncovering hidden secrets of the jungle.
The UTV ride was such an adrenaline rush—be prepared to get wet and muddy, but that’s part of the fun! The grand finale was a stop at a stunning waterfall, where we had time to soak in the beauty of nature and snap some unforgettable photos. Speaking of photos, our guide captured some amazing moments for us, which we’ll treasure forever.
Not only was he informative, but he also had a great sense of humor and kept us laughing throughout the trip. He truly made the experience enjoyable and unique, going above and beyond to ensure we had a great time.
I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Daintree. Whether you’re an adventure-seeker, a nature enthusiast, or just looking for a memorable experience, this tour has it all!

Our trip to the Cassowary falls was the highlight of three days in the Daintree. Bruce was extraordinarily knowledgeable about all manner of flora and fauna. His love for the rainforest is infectious! We highly recommend spending an afternoon with Bruce the next time you find yourself up north -- and maybe even make a special trip!

So much fun!
Dan and Lisa a great tour duo. Dan is THE best tour guide ever - informative, careful and entertaining. Can hear his infectious laugh now!
Cassowary Falls are private so swimming there is never crowded. The buggy ride is fun and you get to see a great example of the rainforest habitat and surrounding farmland. Great experience. Thanks guys.

This tour was amazing. Bruce pointed out so many cool parts of the rainforest, like Green Tree Ant or the different plants. The views were spectacular and My entire family thought it was super fun. Not only that, but Bruce picked up a python and showed it to us. Andy took so many photos at the waterfall that I absolutely love! This was one of my highlights of my trip to Australia I highly recommend this! It was so fun!

An outstanding tour!! So much more than we expected. Our guides Wippi and Bruce delivered so much information, adventure and enthusiasm from beginning to end. We saw everything- turtles, eels, fish, waterfall, rainforest and even a crocodile at the end on the water tour. Lunch was delicious and group size was perfect. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Thank you Wippi and Bruce very much.

We had the pleasure of having Wippy(forgive the spelling!) as our guide around Cassowary Falls! Honestly the best guide around. It is a beautiful few hours in an ATV spent learning about the area and finished off with a soak in the waterfall, very refreshing! Can highly recommend this as day trip. Oh and the local pub does some lovely food after your swim in the waterfall.

I stumbled across this tour online and we are so happy we did it. Our two boys (12 & 10) absolutely loved it. The ATV ride was so much fun...be prepared to get a bit wet and by a bit I mean a lot!
Bruce was out tour guide and his knowledge of the rainforest and the plant and animal life is second to none. So much energy.
The waterfall is breathtaking and the water is stunning. Finished off the morning with lunch at Crocs Cafe which was quite nice, Staff are wonderful.
We had the best day, thank you so much!

I cannot recommend this tour enough! My son and I (12) had an epic half day tour with Bruce, we learnt a lot, squealed a fair bit and had so, so much fun. The scenery is stunning and swimming in the falls was breathtaking. Don’t go to Port Douglas or the Daintree without visiting Cassowary Falls!
