From the time we were collected early in the morning from our hotel in Cairns until we were dropped back after dark on the third day we enjoyed this full tour… well informed guide who knew the country and culture of this area, as well as being a careful and safe driver.

Daintree Dreaming was well organised, timely and varied tour full of history. We loved getting to fish and enjoyed the fresh crab. The Daintree Rainforest was perfect and the tour was a great length too.- Bobi M. – Texas, USA
What a fantastic day! We learned so much about local culture and customs and the Aboriginal people’s way of life. The tour was top notch - truly the “gold” standard.- David B. – New York, USA
We decided to do the one day Cooktown trip while visiting Port Douglas and were so glad we did. We were picked up by Graeme, our driver/ guide for the day and his friendly nature made everyone comfortable- kimmac53 – Newcastle, Australia
Fantastic experience - giving life-long memories. Excellent wealth of knowledge. Expert driving skill. Thank you very much.- Annette S. – Perth, Australia
Best Tour of our Australia Experience. The Daintree Dreaming Tour was a highlight of our two weeks in Australia. Emma was wonderful, personable, knowledgeable, and so much fun! She took us on an adventure we will never forget. Brandon Walker took us to hunt crabs, spear rays pick periwinkles in mangroves and even cooked them up for us in his parents' kitchen. We sat on their porch, traipsed through their home and experienced their warm hospitality. The perfect Australian trip!- JenniferF, USA
We crossed the Daintree river and had a delicious morning tea of scones and jam in the Rainforest. Climbing the Bloomfield track in the 4WD was a highlight! We also stopped at the historic Lions Den hotel for a drink and had a photo opportunity at Black Mountain. Cooktown itself is a beautiful quiet town with a lovely lookout at Grassy Hill. I would definitely suggest staying overnight so you can enjoy the Sunset Cruise and explore some more of Cooktown the following day.- jennan846
We would highly recommend this tour to anyone. The Tour guides were great and very knowable,. The Bloomfield Track was a highlight however we enjoyed every aspect of the tour. Accommodation was great in Cooktown.- Vivaston
The trip via the Bloomfield is an experience all should take if the opportunity arises. Heaps to see and the stops good. Can’t fault the rest stops and the meals. If the opportunity arises just do it. You will see more, understand more than simply doing it yourself.- nambatri2016 – Brisbane, Australia
This was an amazing tour in air conditioned comfort of the 4 wheel drive tour bus seeing sights we had never seen before. The guide was great explaining different sights. The accommodation was wonderful. Spending a night in a cabin in the middle of the Daintree was just beautiful. All the meals were lovely. We can highly recommend this tour, we saw parts of North Qld we had never dreamed of. Excellent trip- WW – Gunbower, Australia
Couldn’t have asked for a better day. Many tours are pretty average.. knowledgable tour guides sure but often full of babble and not very interactive..not so with this one. Our tour guides were not only knowledgable but they really put extra effort into making it a conversation, not a lecture. I don't want to give it away but do yourself a favor and pick this one (and for a real treat add on the Ngadiku Walk… worth much more than I paid for it!- BethB
I thoroughly enjoyed the day! I like wading with a spear looking for crabs. Linc Walker was an excellent guide, as was Hugh. I also enjoyed the Dreamtime Stories.- Susie Allen, USA
