We spent a day on the Daintree Natione al Park on our last day in Cairns trying to figure how to spend the last day. It was one of the best day we spened. Daintree national park is a very wonderful place deserving to be named a world heritage site. the rain forest and river cruise is a standout. Our... More

It was the tour we were looking forward to and it didnt disappoint. Tim was our guide, he was fantastic, very knowledgable and funny as well as a great chef. The day starts out with a quick stop at Port Dougals for a coffee...definately needed after the early pick up.. Then onwards towards the Daintree. The river tour was great... More

We joined the Cape Tribulation trip and the Kuranda trip in two separate days, and both are well organized. Tim tells us lots about Cape Tribulation and the rain forest and tells us other funny stuff. We got to see lots of things in a packed day, great fun in the rain forest and delicious BBQ, saw quite a few... More

It was our (my husband, our daughter & myself) first visit to Cairns and had some info gathered from Tripadvisor on the things to be done in cairns. However, it was a particular travel agent who suggested that we go to Dain tree & Cape tribulation to complete our trip to Cairns and highly recommended this tour operator. After carefully... More

WOW! We had the best day. The Guides were amazing. It didn't matter what questions our group had, they knew the answers. A special thanks to Mario! His knowledge was amazing from Continental Shift, Aboriginal way of life, European explorers & settlers, flora & fauna, you name it he knew it! Not only that but he cooked the perfect BBQ... More

I've took this tour with my mum last month. I've been there before and initially thought of just renting a car and go to all the places, but eventually I decided on the tour to get the extra information about places, forest, history etc. And I'm very happy that I did. Mario, our guide, was great! He's a very friendly... More

We booked three trips with Trek North in advance of our arrival in Cairns and dealt with Leigh Jorgenson. Everything about this company impressed our party of four. They had even phoned our hotel on the day of our arrival to ask us to check final details with them. The Tusa trip was fantastic and well worth the money that... More

We went on the Daintree and Cape Tribulation tour with Trek North. It is a long day but we had great fun. Our guide Steve was extremely informative and has more jokes than a comedian on steroids. I'd recommend this day trip to anyone looking to discover the real Tropical Rain Forest and have a great day doing it. Vthe... More

Had a great trip organised by Trek North. The cable up there and the scenia train down were just excellent . Kuranda itself was more limiting and even though i walked around river and rainforest walk would have done in 2 hours and so still had 2+ hours 'to kill'. My trip would be to be clear on 'transfers' back... More

We expected to get our money back because they made a mistake, but they wouldnt, the wanted us to pay a cancellation fee even though we didnt cancelled.
