We spent the whole day with Pete in the Daintree and at the end could no believe that the time passed by so fast! We can't stop talking about Pete - he is just such a faboulous character wih a wonderful sense of humor, many stories to tell and so much drive and energy! There were just two of us... more

Pete is awesome! Like others, we picked a tour from reviews and books, not knowing for sure whether it would be the right one for us or not. This one was definitely incredible. We ended up being the only 2 people on the tour so we had Pete's full attention. He is so knowledgeable and accommodating, stopping where ever you... more

My wife and I had traveled from the U.S. with only the recommendation off the internet as a resource for our trip with Pete. It was one of the best decisions we made during our brief four days in Port Douglas. Pete is a gem. One of those unique gifts that you come across in the course of lifes wonderful... more

Pete's tour was the best part of our two week trip in Australia. We'd do it again in a heartbeat even if nothing changed. Pete's personal attention and constant surprises make it unforgettable. If there was one thing we would come back to Australia for it would be to go on another tour with Pete. He answered all our questions... more

First, Pete and Trish's company also goes by "Daintree Specialised Tours" - but just ask anyone in the Daintree area for Pete Baxendell, and you'll find the guide you want! How to describe Pete? We think of him as one-half Allan Quartermain, one-half Crocadile Dundee - but whatever he is, he is an Aussie personality that visitors should not miss!... more

We went on a tour with Pete yesterday. Two adults, two kids aged 10 and 7. We were picked up from our accommodation in Port Douglas and within 100 yards had stopped to look at a colony of fruit bats which we would have missed had we passed them ten times a day. We went on to Daintree - 3... more

This is one of the best memories I have of Australia! Pete was a great guide and made this a unique experience for us. We learned about many plants and animals, tasted green ants (really!), and learned about the local history. I suggest you wear long pants, a lightweight long-sleeve shirt, and sneakers, and bring a swimsuit and sandals. Pete... more

Pete Baxendell rocks! Pete Baxendell is the owner and sole conductor of North Queensland Heritage & Interpretive Tours. His tour was the zenith of our trip to Australia – a fantastic means to end our trip on a high point. In preparation for our trip we found that not every rainforest tour operator has a single conductor and we were... more

After reading many positive postings on TripAdvisor forums, we booked a day tour with Pete Baxendell. As we were in the Port Douglas area in June, the number of tourists in the area was low and we lucked out and had Pete all to ourselves the entire day. He picked us up in Port Douglas and we climbed into his... more
