Our trip started well with extremely helpful reservations staff who couldn't be happier to answer my many questions & reservation changes. The train was lovely & my son delighted in all of the different aspects of the journey up to Kuranda - passing through sugarcane fields; going up the mountain; all of the tunnels & of course the wonderful scenery....

The day was a little delayed due to the weather slowing down skyrail, but another bus came by and let us know that our bus was delayed and that he would be here shortly to which he was. Collected our boarding pass which was fantastic as all the information was there for me to read while we took the short... More

We had a fantastic day with out tour guide Brian. Pick up was on time as with all the tours we did with Down Under tours. Brian was very professional, welcoming and informative. The Mossman Gorge and the welcoming from Rodney on behalf of the Kuku Yalanji people was excellent.On the way up to Cape Tribulation, Brian gave a very... More

I did the Blue Mountains day trip, which was absolutely stunning! The sights were beautiful and I got some great photos. We spent a lot of time in the actual mountains and even took the cable cart up past the Three Sisters. Was a little disappointed as it was meant to include the scenic railway, but the track was under... More

We're told to arrive by 830 to catch the tour bus from Caravonica at 850am. 850 arrived and were still waiting, we called down under tours to find out what was happening and they advised that they were delayed and would be there soon. We finally saw the tour bus of which it did not pick us up. By this... More

Dear Natalie Thanks for your review. I am disappointed things did not run smoothly that morning. I noticed in your review that you where told to arrive at 08:30 am for a 08:50 pick up. I am not sure who gave you this information (I would imagine it was a local tour desk or agent) as our pick up time... More

We had a wonderful tour with our extremely knowledgable, talkative, and handsome guide, Rick. Also, we were fortunate to be the only two people on the tour that day. Our vehicle was very comfortable, with no complaints about pick up or delivery. The guide, Pete, on the Cape Tribulation boat was engaging and entertaining, but that tour was simply a... More

The day began at 8am. The driver was friendly and knowledgeable about the area we travelled through. We were kept informed of the itinerary and made the most of all the stops for photos. The road was very good so probably no need for a 4WD. The boat trip was fun and we saw crocodiles in their natural habitat. The... More

We felt completely conned by this trip - this was described as a 4WD tour of Daintree, but the only thing '4WD' about it was having to suffer an incredibly uncomfortable and noisy 4WD minibus for hours on main roads. A normal coach would have done the job in far more comfort and would have made it considerably more enjoyable.... More

HI Graham Thanks for taking the time to give us your feed back. I am sorry you felt completey conned. We have never in our 23 years of operating tried to con any of our guests. You are quite correct, we could use a normal 20 seater mini bus and a number of operators do this (large coaches are not... More

For our Daintree, Cape Tribulation tour, we were picked up from our accommodation, the Retreat Port Douglas, by a Down Under Tours 4W drive vehicle. It was a powerful thing called a ‘Warrior’, bigger than a mini-bus but smaller than a coach and probably holds around 20 or so people. Daniel, our driver / guide, who proved a great guide... More
