Ancient Daintree: Mossman Gorge & Cape Tribulation Eco-Tour

It was a very long day but saw a lot, morning tea wasn’t until 11:30 so good idea to eat some kind of breakfast first. Didn’t get back until 8 pm. But did see lovely sunsets The swim was more like a splash in lovely cool water, but a lot of people of course. Saw a lot!! Ben our driver/guide did his utmost so that we saw and experienced as much as possible. Levi welcomed us explaining a lot about the Indigenous people in this territory. Greatly respected and appreciated the sharing of his culture, including family and himself. He was also pretty funny if you listened closely enough.

Highly recommended must do experience when you stay in Cairns or Port Douglas. Our guide Patrick was excellent, informative and made the trip fun and enjoyable.

It was an amazing off the beaten path experience. Definitely worth it! Sampo was an excellent guide.

Great tour, lots of variations to see and do on the trip, driver/tour guide she was excellent and very knowledgeable of history, plants on the hikes

This is a really long 12 hour day, but you get to see a lot. The rainforest feels like you’re walking in a botanical garden. But be prepared for sudden intense downpours. The highlight of the day was seeing a saltwater croc when we were on the boat. Sambo did a great job of commentary while he was driving. He also showed us interesting things about the plants when we had the guided rainforest walk. Note the last stop for ice cream is not included. You have to pay for your own ice cream. I would recommend this trip for those with stamina that want to see the plants of the rainforest.

Our tour guide was great, no issues with anybody involved in this tour. The only thing that brings this review down for me is that this itinerary really should be a 2 day kind of thing. Please keep in mind when booking this tour that it is a LOT of driving and you don't spend a whole lot of time at each location. By reading the description of this tour, I imagined more time learning about aboriginal culture but because it was so rushed, it was mainly just a "quick look" at everything. The Aboriginal Ceremony was a simple, 1-2 minute walk around a fire pit. It was very cool to be a part of but I imagined more time with the Aboriginal guide and possibly listening to a didgeridoo but that did not happen because of how little time we had. Again, no issues with our tour guide, bus was comfortable and air conditioned but the shear distance between all of these stops makes it so you can't fully appreciate every location.

Very interesting tour great host coverecso many things. Firecrrrmony was very interesting as were the walks in the forest and mossman gorge. Lots of photo opportunities and daintree ice cream wa great . Quite a long day though and lunch pretty underwhelming but okay

The tour guide was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. Would recommend him, 5/5. The trip felt long and rushed. Each stop was about 30 minutes. Not long enough to take it in and enjoy it

It’s a long day but worth it. Great to see the Cape. Really good trip to rock pool. We had a very nice guide. lunch was fantastic (only negative was lack of toilet facilities) and the ice cream stop was welcome. Remember to take insect repellent.

This tour you cover a lot of the north Queensland. Jake was an excellent tour guide who kept the pacing of the tour to meet everyone's needs. He provided comprehensive information about each area. Our only recommendation would be to add more information about the endemic birds and amphibians in the bushwalk. The Daintree Rainforest is an amazing place to visit. However, visiting the Mossman and getting the blessing for a safe journey was a special and meaning way to begin your journey. The suspension bridge is worth the walk and to walk across it as it provides incredible views. On this tour, you are able to see 2 unique UNESCO sites-the 180 million year old Daintree Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. The tour day is long as it is about 12 hours from Cairns but totally worth it. We would highly recommend this tour and especially our tour guide, Jake.
