This was the best thing I did in Cairns. It was even better than the diving. Kevin, the owner is full of great stories and is a wonderful guide. We spent the entire day in 4WD, Kevin had to get his chain saw out to cut away a fallen tree! You won't get more remote. He goes where other tours... More

My husband and I booked this trip after conducting extensive research into those on offer. I had visited Cairns before and had been fooled into booking what I thought was a trip to the rainforest only to end up in some sort of private parkland nearby called Rainforestation. For my second visit to the area, I was keen to book... More

A great day out under the hospitality of Kevin. See a lot, a few easy walks and an excellent lunch with nobody else around you. We drove for hours without seeing a single person, except animals like kangaroos and many others. It's a true experience More

My husband and 23 year old daughter had a Full Day Adventure spent with Kevin at "Wilderness Eco Safaris". Kevin prompty arrived at our hotel for 9 hours of informative, humorous and entertaining anecdotal stories . The 4X4 Rainforest Tour went beyond our expectations as we were the only ones in the Land Rover all day. Mid morning tea and... More

For us this was the most beautifull rainforest encounter we had during our holiday!!! Our guide Kevin was very knowledgable and very enthousiastic! We went to the rainforest where we saw no other tourists. We decided to book this trip because we wanted to go in a small group. It was perfect, because the limit were 7 people. Very nice... More

Can't say enough great things about Kevin, hence all the great reviews previously posted! This is a very personalized tour with amazing history and beautiful views around you.. If you are up for it, ask him to take you up this hike to a magnificent view over rainforest (Forgot the name, but he will know what you are talking about)..... More

Awesome interactive tour and highly knowledgeable guide in Kevin. We have been to cairns previously and done the Daintree tour but this was far better and far more engaging. Our day included pickup from hotel, morning tea, lunch in the middle of the rainforest, afternoon tea and finally returned to our hotel. Kevin was very passionate and his priority was... More
