Excellent day spent with Kim, driver, exploring the Daintree National Park. Starting with breakfast at Mossman Gorge after a walk along a walking track that was suitable for all abilities. Then continued onto the Daintree River with numerous stops for photo opportunities along walking tracks and lookouts. Lunch at On the Turps restaurant, where you had a choice of steak, barramundi, vegetarian wrap and fruit, all inclusive. Also able to swim in Cooper Creek if you wanted. After lunch moved on to Cape Tribulation beach before stopping at the Daintree Ice Cream Company. This alone would be worth the trip. From the ice xream Co.pany we continued back to the Daintree River where we had an hour crocodile spotting cruise. Ray the guide was fantastic. We saw crocodiles in the wild from babies just 4 months old to a 5m 800kg male with his mate. Also spotted a python in the trees. This was on of the best tours I have ever been on and would highly recommend this to anyone.W1384AKsuee

We loved the full-day trip through the Daintree. It truly was a highlight of our Port Douglas trip. Well organised, fun and fascinating. We had Bryce as our guide. He was fantastic - he has a great understanding and appreciation of the area and its history, and he managed to pack a lot into the day. We were part of a small group - a really lovely, easy-going and fun group that added to the experience. The day really deepened my appreciation and love for a part of Australia that I didn't know much about. I'd love to do the tour again some day.stuartwB2572BA
