What people are saying about Far North Queensland

Rain in the rainforest, no surprise there but being wet all day on a bus can put a little damper on things. Our guide, Mark, did a good job providing lots of interesting information about the wildlife, history, and culture of the area. Please realize that this trip is fast-paced, not in-depth. Mark said that right up front so no complaint about it, but if I had it to do over I might pick a version that did fewer sites (Cape Tribulation wasn't worth the time to me).

This was the most amazing experience, having already been skydiving over Dubai's palm I was excited to see how this compared and it was honestly 100 times better, so well organised, the views are just natural beauty at its finest and all the instructors are kind, encouraging and helpful! Would recommend to everyone especially if it is your first time doing it!

Excellent tour even if we didn't get to see Mossman Gorge. Tour guide made it an informative and enjoyable trip. Recommend this full day adventure we anyone looking to see some out of the way places in North Queensland.

The tour guide was very knowledgeable. She had a lot of stories and a vast knowledge of the local culture and history. Thank you.
