This rainforest-relict from Gondwana is inspirational and exceptional. Old-world rainforest, pristine and primitive, needs to be experienced on a guided interpreted tour with a local expert to fully appreciate its rarity and complexity. We recommend both day and night tours. « less

My boyfriend and I were staying in Cairns and decided to take a day trip up to the Daintree Rainforest. The trip was a bit pricey and since no transportation was provided we had to rent a car which added to the expenses. The day started out with a crocodile cruise but unfortunately we only spotted one crocodile :(. The... More

We did our evening tour last night with Neil. Armed with torches and wearing our walking boots we set off and immediately saw a golden orb spider. Neil led us further into the rainforest where it was pitch dark without the torches. We saw numerous insects, animals etc and Neil told us about the whole ecosystem of the rainforest as... More

We went on the Cooper Creek Wilderness Combination Day & Night Package, because we're keen amateur naturalists and we wanted to meet people who really knew and loved the land rather than a "touristy" thing. Also, we knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime visit (we're from the UK) so a full day and evening exploration sounded good. We weren't disappointed, because... More

We were part of only a small group so the tour was friendly and personal. Very knowlegable and enthusiastic guide. Fantastic rain forest and we did glimpse a cassowary. The tour is not cheap but you pay for the personable service. More

We spend 4-5 hours with Neil who took just the two of us on a track only he could see. His knowledge and love for the forest and Australian culture(s) and history were amazing and he shared his knowledge and answered our questions generously. The forest is a fantastic experience - like no place else on earth. A dip in... More

we spent a good 2 1/2 hours with our guide Theon on our "2 hour trek" in The Daintree. The walk was easy to do and Theon was really knowledgeable but also really honest about some of th plants and things he didn't know about - as he said, there are many things in the forest that haven't been named...
