My husband and I had a fantastic time on our Wait-a-while tour with Wayne and Colin. This is a tour that specializes in twilight/nocturnal animals. The tour doesn't start until late afternoon and you visit several areas in an attempt to see a variety of birds, tree kangaroos, and opossums. There is also an opportunity to spot platypus although we... more

I really enjoyed this tour. Wayne and Levi were wonderful guides. They are passionate about what they do. Wayne is the best birdspotter ever! We went to several different places, and saw so many different things. I agree with the Aussie who said you could probably find these animals on your own (if you are from there), but for overseas... more

This was one of the BEST things I did my whole vacation! Wayne was an INCREDIBLE(incredible) tour guide. He so much stuff. I agree with another poster when they identified how great it is to be on a tour with a guide who is passionate about what they do. I am a bit of an animal nerd (love the random... more

A very good option for people who are arriving in Cairns mid-day and want to do something the afternoon and evening of arrival. Saw lots of animals in the wild -- platypusses, possums, rat kangaroos etc. Dinner was at a very good restaurant. I... more

I booked a Wait-a-While tour for myself, my husband, and 5-year-old son on the very first full day we were in the Cairns area. I am so glad I did!

If you are staying in Cairns, this is one thing youi should do. We drove to the butterfly sancutuary in the morning - something I also recommend - then did the wait a while tour in the afternoon and evening.

We went on the day/night rainforest tour (2pm to 11pm) with Clayton as our guide and had a fascinating time! We saw so much wildlife from wallabies and a huge variety of birds to a tree kangaroo, musky rat kangaroo, lots of possums, lemurs, barn owl , echidna, tree frogs, and a duck-billed platypus. After only seeing most of these... more
