Don't think twice about this one, just do it !! These guys are so enthusiastic, professional and hell bent on giving you a good experience. I had 2 days with them, Atherton Tablelands and Tropical Wetlands. Fantastic knowledge of their surroundings and wildlife. I was there specifically for birds but got educated about all the local wildlife and got impromptu photography lessons too. Picked up at hotel, dropped off there and fed all day too! Saw everything I asked to see and a whole lot more. Have no idea how to improve on this ! Awesome. Go do it.RonaldJCoote

This was, quite simply, an amazing day out. Right from the point we were collected by James in the minibus, we knew we were in good hands. He's a local, having lived here for around 30 years. With young kids of his own, he knew just how to treat our teens. The wildlife and scenery were stunning - from the Mossman Gorge rockpool (definitely worth braving the 20 seconds of initial cold in midwinter to enjoy a refreshing dip) and the eye-opening crocodile boat cruise with local expert David, we were bowled over. We saw rare lizards, birds, adult and baby crocodiles (so cute, so lethal). James was very clear and informative, explaining the different flora and fauna, landscape, and great spots for photography. Understandably, this is not a cheap trip - but neither was it a cheap experience. But spread over our family, the FNQ tour was very good value. The insights, enthusiasm, special locations, and local knowledge all contributed to a wonderful day. James was kind enough to incorporate our own personal modifications of the 'plan', to allow us to have a day right up there with the best days we've ever had on holiday as a family.869sandyb

What an amazing tour and tremendous guide in Matt! I would highly recommend this tour and this company to ANYONE looking to see this amazing part of Australia. Matt went above and beyond for our group of 5, even accommodating a senior member of our family that required a wheelchair for part of the tour. He was funny, smart and just made the entire day a pleasure. He's even a pro photographer and got some shots we didn't - Book with confidence!Shelli B

Small company private tour. The owner James was our guide for the day. Grew up in the area so he’s superb knowledgeable , very personable. We went on river boat Solar Whisper to see wildlife, then into rainforest and all he way to Cape Tribulation. I can’t comment on price because it was a gift from family. Highly recommend. He only does small groups and tailors your day to your interests.claudiangg1988

We were blown away by how well organised our tour was. Matt, our guide, full of knowledge; also happy to have a laugh along the way. He made sure we experienced the best hidden spots of Daintree Rainforest away from the crowd of tourists. Delicious lunch in a stunning location, cherry on top was swimming in a pristine natural pool. Dave from solar whisperer, extremely kind and knowledgeable contributed to our journey spotting crocs, snakes and birds along the Daintree River. Spotted 3 cassowaries on the way back too! Thanks guys, we’ll make sure to recommend you to anyone who wants to visit the far north of Queensland.927karenz

We had a great time and James was a great tour guide. His passion and enthusiasm for the wildlife and nature was admirable, and we learnt heaps of interesting facts. From the moment we got into the car, it was obvious this was going to be a good trip. Our solar boat cruise was the highlight, especially seeing so many modelling crocs and Doug the dog. Our cruise guide was a fantastic spotter, and we were so lucky to see some young crocodiles, tree snakes and frogs. The hike in the Daintree was also incredible, most notably James’ knowledge about the forest and the native plants. The lunch provided was also delicious, particularly learning about and trying some seasonal and exotic fruits. Overall, would recommend, especially for nature lovers and those keen to try something different!
