If you are going to do a tour of the rainforest, you should defintely consider booking this one as Kevin will make sure you have a great time. Advantages of this tour is that it is small, you get to vist some areas that other tours can't go due to Kevin's background as a park ranger, and the information that... More

My wife and 16 year old grandson decided to take this tour, selecting it at the Holiday Inn Tour desk. My grandson especially liked the idea of going into the tropical forest and Outback in a 4-wheel drive Land Rover type vehicle. It turned out to be a great choice. Kevin, the Guide and driver, had previously worked as a... More

Not quite what I expected but definitely what I had hoped for. Kevin is entertaining and knows his stuff. Not a "run of the mill tour" by any standards. The trip is personal, well planned out and tailored to your group. You feel privileged to spend time with someone who obviously loves his job and his environment. Kevin strives to... More

Kevin greeted us with a big welcoming smile which set the tone for the whole trip. Kevin was loads of fun and could probably make a trip to the gas station a good time. Throw in gorgeous views up and over the Great Dividing Range and you have a fabulous day! We chose this trip because we wanted a small... More

I cannot thank Kevin enough for such a brilliant day, he is knowledgeable and warm - a wonderful combination. He has thought out the day's trip very well and because the groups are so small you feel that you are doing something very special, there really are no other people doing the same thing as you.

Kevin is great - lots of enthusiasm and very personable. I really liked this trip as we got to go places that we had to ourselves. If I'm in a rain forest, I want to be the the midst without a bunch of human distractions which we achieved. Lots of interesting places and the full day ran well and kept... More

Kevin... what can I say he turned me into a botanist in one day. After a few days on the REEF we were ready to explore inland and see the rain forest one on one! Our small tour ( max capacity of his vehicle was 9, we had 8) was none stop commentary. He literally never took a breath and... More

We were on a recent cruise and were tendered at Yorkey's Knob. We had booked the day with Kevin but due to unforeseen circumstances we were several hours late in to port so Kevin had to rejig our day. He gave us a slightly shortened version of the planned itinerary but managed to show us as much as possible in... More

If you're not an experienced traveller or have never visited the rainforest this would be a very good way to see it. Kevin is a very personable and knowledgeable guide with a great sense of humour who includes everyone in the conversation. If you want to learn about the rainforest, he's your man. The small size adds to the experience.... More

Firstly I will say that I'm a born-in-Cairns-local of 27 years and thought I'd been everywhere in a 250 km radius of Cairns and seen all there was to see... Turns out I was wrong! The local maps and my GPS simply didn't include (much to Kevin's delite!) the tracks that we travelled. The trip is a mixture of wilderness... More
