Amazing!!!

Tour guide Esther was amazing! Very good at her job. Very Informative, positive nature. Great sites to see, Milla Milla falls was my favourite, then Josephine falls, then Babinda boulders. Will definitely do this again in the future.

Awesome experience

The best your we had in cairns! Loved the waterfalls, the puns from our tour operators Max, and how everything happened in a timely manner. We visited 4-5 waterfalls, took a dip in each, had coffee and lunch and got to do a couple of mini hikes while people were swimming in the lake. I wished the pub had more vegan option like vegan burger instead of just salad. But overall this trip is totally worth it!

John was an amazing guide!

We went on the tour with our tourguide John, he's the sweetest and was really lovely. We enjoy the day, especially the last stop where we get to swim with wild crocodiles!

Hi milliec2, Thanks for taking the time to share your experience! We are thrilled to hear you had a great time on tour with John. I would just like to clarify that we don't swim where there are wild crocodiles. Saltwater crocodiles are found in brackish (low salinity) water including river mouths near the coast. As the water conditions at Mossman are the opposite it would be very unlikely to spot a crocodile there. Thanks for traveling with us and we hope you enjoyed the rest of your trip!

Super knowledgeable guide

Had a great day out with Oscar. Stopped at 5 places: Lake Eacham, Curtain Fig Tree, Milaa Milaa Falls, Josephine Falls, Balinda Boulders. 4/5 of the spots are swimmable spots. The scenery was good, the views were great. But I think the best part was the tour guide himself who managed to share S O many interesting stories/knowledge about animals. You can hear his passion. I learnt so much more about Koalas, Platypus, Kangaroos, Crocodiles, Bats, and many more. The animal facts got me happier than the waterfalls did (which was supposed to be the main purpose of this tour!) Lunch, tea/coffee/cookies were provided.
