★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,326 reviews · from $190Our pick

Review of a Port Douglas Daintree tour with Mossman Gorge, crocodile cruise, Cape Tribulation, rainforest walks, lunch, and practical tips.

“An excellent tour, and Cam was a fantastic guide. Has everything you need to cover a day tour, walks, boat trips, scenic driving, and seeing plenty (crocs, snakes, spiders - all from a distance!) of wildlife. Small group which rices enough time to ask questions. Would not hesitate to recommend the trip, and hopefully you also land with Cam as your guide!”
