7/10/2009 Hi There Just a quick email to give some positive feedback
about our Daintree Forest tour on Wednesday 30 September. We were
collected on time from Villa San Michele in Port Douglas by John. He
was an extremely informative, friendly and obliging tour guide for
the day. Overall, we thought the tour was great value and we will
certainly recommend it to family and friends. Keep up the good work! Kind regards Anne and Roen McPherson and family

Hello there,
I have just been looking through your site. I travelled to Australia a
couple of years ago to visit my two kids who were on a working holiday there at
the time. As part of our trip we stayed at Palm Cove and booked a trip
with your company, and we still talk about the great time we had with Bob.
He was a mine of useful information, and he was great fun. His memorable
question was had we seen a goanna! "What's that Bob?". we
asked "it's a lizard" came the reply!! Yeah, it's a lizard, like an
Aston Martin is just a car!! It was a beast!!
I have enclosed a photo of my kids with Bob; you can include it in your gallery,
and please pass on our warmest regards to the man himself.
All the very best, Janette Plain.

Message: STEVE was an incredible guide. His attitude, patience, humor and amazing wealth of knowledge truly enriched the overall experience. I don't know if he'll still be there when we return to Cairns one day or if there are other trips he leads, but if it all possible we'd love to have him as our guide during our next visit to Queensland. Cheers!! Ernie and Dana from Pasadena, CA (USA).

Hi there ,
Just wanted to say a big thank you to you guys for being so wonderful with my little groups over World Youth Day.They all had a brilliant time on your tour – they all raved about the lunch!!!
So please pass this on to all your driver/guides on these jobs. For the majority of these people this was their first experience in Australia and you have certainly helped to make it a memorable one.
Best of luck for future business and I hope that our paths will cross again, I would certainly not hesitate to recommend your company again!!
Kind Regards ,

Dear Leigh,
We just wanted to thank you and your staff for arranging our combo package of tours on our recent Cairns holiday. We thoroughly enjoyed every one of our four tours. Our driver/guides were so pleasant and so knowledgeable and we were looked after so well. All tours picked us up on time from our hotel and returned us at the end of the tour. We had a most wonderful stay in Cairns and hope that we can return again before too long. We have already recommended your tour company to our cousin and her husband who are staying at Port Douglas. Please accept our thanks and congratulations for such great tours. Please pass on our special thanks to Rob who made our Cape Tribulation and Daintree Tour such a wonderful day.
Regards, John and Ann Chippendale.

We took your trip to the Daintree area and Cape Tribulation with Steve on Saturday 5th April, 2008. Well what a day - from the start he was good company and very informative. We had the most wonderful day and learnt a lot - were lucky enough to see a Cassowary. We were able to ask Steve anything and found he was very knowledgeable, be it about flora or fauna. We booked through the Cairns YHA, although we are senior travellers (for want of a better term !) and have recommended your company. We found it an excellent experience for travellers with limited time, and good value for money.

The tour was great and was really topped off by our tour guide Steve. He made the day funny, informative and a must do. Give him a pay rise, he deserves it!

Dear Trek North,
My husband and I took your Cape Tribulation yesterday and were very impressed with the tour. We would like to let you know that our guide Wayne was exceptional ! he was very professional, he was a fountain of knowledge, he had a great sense of humour and you could tell he was very passionate about conservation and the rain forest.
We are going to be in Darwin from the 19th to the 23rd of December and we are hoping to take some really great day tours to areas in Kakadu ·. If you know of a tour company/tours that you would recommend we would really appreciate your input. It is hard to know if a tour is a ?ourist trap· or is run by educated and passionate people like Wayne .
Thanks once again to Wayne for a great day,
Catherine and Rick Loggin (Canadians)

I just got back from Australia last night and could not wait to tell you what a fantastic time I had on the Daintree explorer tour. Not only was the tour itself amazing ( we did alot of wonderful sites), but our tour guide Paul was amazing. He made the tour by far one of the highlights of my trip. He was funny, informative and kept the bus laughing and interested the whole day from 7 am until we were dropped off at the end of the day. The Daintree explorer is a great tour and I would highly recommend it to anyone, and if they are lucky enough to get Paul as their tourguide they are in for a real experience. Thank You very much for a wonderful day.

We would like to express my appreciation of a tour we took with your company
to Cape Tribulation on 8 May 2007.
Our guide, Steve, gave us such an enjoyable day, being extremely
knowledgeable and he was such a pleasure to be with. His laid back sense of
humour, not to mention his delightful cooking skills on the bbq all added to
the day.
He is the sort of person who makes you feel at ease and we certainly felt
that from the time we were picked up at our motel to the time we were dropped back.
We shall have extreme pleasure in recommending your tours to everyone we
meet as we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Thank you

I took two tours with yourselves last week: Kuranda with Steve and Cape Trib with Paul. Steve was great and very helpful - and the way he dealt with myself and my UK visitor was great. This encouraged us to go on the Cape Trib tour. Paul was our tour guide and I must say he was outstanding. The information and delivery was excellent and I enjoyed every second. We are still "chewing" over some of the things we learnt and would not hesitate to join your tours again - and of course recommend them to anyone visiting the area. Thank you Steve for your friendliness and thank you very very much Paul for really making our holiday.

Dear all, when we read about the big Cane Toad it reminded us of our perfect holiday and the wonderful trip with you guys to Cape Trib. Thanks again. Give our kind regards to Paul, our tourguide. His stories and explanations will never be forgoten. Thanks again! It was perfect.

Thank you!

I cannot tell you enough nice things about Paul. He was driving, doing the tour and handling heaven knows what (in addition). He made us feel comfortable and relaxed, and took care of all details in a most professional manner. His graciousness would certainly induce me to use your tour company again, and recommend to others.
