I highly recommend this tour if you want something off the beaten path that immerses you into the true experience of a local, is personable, and you want to experience a part of the rainforest that very few have experienced. If you are up for a bit of a hike the waterfall is worth it. Alister is very knowledgeable about the rainforest and the local towns. His wife Angie and two daughters came on the tour with us and were an amazing addition to the trip. I was truly in awe about Angie’s extensive knowledge and enthusiasm about the rainforest. I felt that we had experiences that you would not get through a large chain tour company. Angie and Alister pointed out so many plants and their uses which was fascinating. We ate a fruit fresh off a tree that tasted like vanilla ice cream and had the chance to try an edible flower that Angie explained was full of antioxidants. It is an experience that my husband and I will never forget!Andrea C

What a fantastic day we had with Allister, our fabulous guide who is such a warm, engaging and knowledgeable guy, His genuine passion and stories he shared with us about the Daintree Forest, Flora and Fauna made our day a memorable one. A lovely walk through the forest to a secluded waterfall and swimming hole followed by a delicious lunch and afternoon boat trip to check out the local crocodiles was truly a fun day for us all. I highly recommend this small group day trip.jennacW1227ZL

This was an awesome experience! The only reason I give it a 4 star out of 5 is because I wish we hiked more. Allister, the guide, was friendly, informative and really cared about the land and nature. We learned a lot from him! He picked us up from our hotel and we were with 3 other people. We started the hike with more info and learning moments. Then we got to the beautiful waterfall which was worth it! Some took a swim. Bring towels and snacks/water. I didn't love the lunch experience portion. I figured we'd have a quick lunch within our hike as a picnic style or maybe stopped someplace quickly (which I think might have been better), but instead it was a sit down meal at an off the beaten path restaurant. The owner of the restaurant was quirky and the experience was a bit odd. If I had the choice to opt out of that lunch, I definitely would! Then, we went on a crocodile cruise. That was quick and we saw many crocs! The guide was knowledgable but wasn't the most amazing tour at the river. Our guide drove us back to our hotel which was very nice. We went in August 2023 and the weather couldn't have been better. We wore longs and longs which helped with the buggy environment. Next time, I would go for a slightly longer hike. Overall, we got a great experience of the Daintree. Thank you Allister!11991122

The trip was amazing, Allister is extremely knowledgeable with the plants and animals we see at the trip. The trip he had planned out was really good especially with the hidden gem waterfall we swam at. The food was great and the crocodile sightseeing was also a huge success. Thank you Allister!

This tour was nothing short of perfect. The hike was gorgeous, invigorating, and informative - Allister knows and respects the land and showed our intimate group through some incredible places that other, larger tours can't reach. The waterfall swim was a hoot and gave us some lifelong memories. Lunch was delicious - we especially enjoyed learning about and sampling local fruit! And the croc tour was a picturesque and thrilling end to it all. Our host, Allister, is a beloved member of this community, with excellent reason - he's knowledgeable, kind, and made us all feel immediately at home. I would recommend this tour for anyone who wants an intimate, adventurous view of this beautiful area and its magnificent plants and animals.NextStopWithLove

We have done this amazing experience and we couldn't have chosen better. These is just a few things that we loved: • Allister the tour guide/owner is very knowledge and very funny explaining everything that we were seeing in the forest. • He is super professional and compent. We felt really special the way that he treated us. • Tour with small groups what makes a huge difference to the overall experience. • We visited a secret waterfall that is only accessible with Daintree Experience as you need to get through Allister's friends private property, in the heart of Daintree Rainforest • The food was delicious in the restaurant where we had lunch (included on the tour). After the meal we learned and tried several different fruits. Very interesting! • The Crocodile Cruise in the afternoon was incredible. The captain was very knowledge about the crocodiles and respectful and not interfering with the wildlife at all. This is the kind of companies we like to support. We spotted several crocodiles with different sizes. It was amazing too see wild animals in their natural habitat. All the service was outstanding and we had an incredible experience we will never forget. We felt we were supporting the local and sustainable business which make us very proud and satisfied. Thank you Allister for this incredible experience.
