“we had a memorable day. Samosas our driver/ guide was excellent. He was very informative and fun. Great day out with him- an excellent driver and a pleasant guide- a bonus we loved his stories and his music playlist. The activity was interesting- lovely views and walks through the rainforest. Dissapointing that we didn't see any wildlife though . The Daintree River cruise was dissapointing too but we did manage to see a baby crocodile. Highlight of the tour was the beaches Sambo the guide and lovely Daintree ice cream”

“An excellent tour, and Cam was a fantastic guide. Has everything you need to cover a day tour, walks, boat trips, scenic driving, and seeing plenty (crocs, snakes, spiders - all from a distance!) of wildlife. Small group which rices enough time to ask questions. Would not hesitate to recommend the trip, and hopefully you also land with Cam as your guide!”
