Fun day out

We really thought this was a fun tour. We enjoyed the sights more than the daintree tour. The waterfalls were really pretty and the strangler tree we saw was unbelievable.

Beautiful Road Trip!

I had a great time on my tour - we saw some beautiful natural sites, and it was much less rushed than other tours I’ve been on! Our guide Patty was very friendly and accommodating. The water was cold this time of year (July), but we all swam and had a great time regardless!
