We saw lots and learnt many things about the area, attractions and the people who live and lived there. The trip was well planned and there were plenty of... More

Absolutely amazing trip, made all the better by our great guide, Mark, who seemed to know everything about everything. We ticked off so many things from our 'bucket list' that day. The scenery was amazing, the stories of history interesting and informative. Mark's respect for ALL things made us more aware of needing to be more tolerant and caring of... More

My wife and I did the Daintree Dreaming Tour because we wanted to learn about the indigenous heritage around the Daintree region, as well as learn about the Rainforest itself. What a find!! We were picked up from our accommodation in an all terrain vehicle and there ended up being only one other person booked, so it was virtually a... More

Looking forward to doing the Daintree... More

Booked a trip to Cooktown in a 4 wheel drive, we had a great day. Its a long day but well worth the trip, Morning tea & lunch are provided. We learn't a great deal about the local Aborigines & their culture. Mark was our driver & had a great deal of knowledge. Drove us up to the lighthouse in... More

Adventure North 4wd trip from Port Douglas to Cooktown via the Bllomfield Track is a trip not to be missed. Not only do you see rugged mountain ranges and the beautiful Daintree National Park but you also get the chance to meet the locals and have a chat. Well worth the effort of a long day. More

Feel the urge to get out of Cairns and see something of the 'real' northern Queensland? It's a long day, but the 1 day trip up to Cooktown through Cape Tribulation and along the 4wd track is a great way to cover the ground and see what most people miss. Went with Kathy who is a very impressive guide/driver and... More

After the hotel pick-up in Cairns, the tour stopped for a visit with a coastal aboriginal family on the coast for a 4-kilometer barefoot mud-crab hunt in the mud flats and mangroves. We consumed what the small group of nine managed to catch! Next stop was an aboriginal-owned art gallery in Mossman for a painting lesson and plenty of time... More
