Worth it!

Our guide has an adventurous soul and was the perfect guy to show us around. He loved nature and allowed us plenty of time to explore and experience the sites. He was very knowledgeable and answered everyone's questions, as well as pointed out extra interesting tidbits of information at each site we visited. Everyone had a great time.

Fantastic experience

Perfect day out seeing the sights. Prompt pick up. Knowledgeable information from our guide Ben, he also has a great sense of humour. Waterfalls were amazing, Lake Eacham is stunning, all were beautifully refreshing. Nice lunch stop with a bull ride for entertainment. Highly recommended.

Most time spent driving. OK value.

Stops were quite rushed. The longest stop was 1hr but most were 30/40 mins and not really enough time to enjoy swimming, dry and dress/toilet and walk back to the bus. Ben our tour guide was very friendly and courteous. Scenery throughout the drive was luscious and relaxing.

Spectacular

This tour was one of my favourites, such spectacular views of the rainforest and waterfalls. The host was very energetic and had good vibes to share around. It was a good group to explore with and I highly recommend this tour.
