Great and informative excursions.

Response From The Tour Specialists

Thank you for your feedback. It's great to hear your trip to The Daintree and Mossman Gorge was excellent!

We had a great driver in Gemma, very helpful and personable. The crocodile portion of this tour was uneventful and not to offend anyone but a waste of time. The gorge was beautiful as was the walk there, though we did not spend a lot of time there. The afternoon tea was a nice touch.

Response From The Tour Specialists

Thanks for your feedback Linda. We are pleased you enjoyed your day. What a pity the crocodiles weren't in the mood to put on a show for you that day. Sometimes the tide and weather conditions are not always favorable - one of the few downsides to spotting wild animals in their natural environment.
