  1. John_P

    We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would not hesitate recommending to anyone. We saw several of the rare native wildlife animals including the elusive tree kangaroo.

  2. Lorraine_H

    A very different wildlife tour. Small group which is much more friendly and Paul was very knowledgeable about local flora and fauna. We managed to see platypus. Tree kangaroos, rat kangaroos, pademelons, bandicoots along with lots of species of possum, lizards and plants. Dinner at the old country pub was excellent. A great tour.

    Seeing the animals was fantastic, particularly in the evening. The reason for the 4 star rating was that I felt the tour was rushed. I would have preferred to spend more time in the evening and soak up the peace and quiet listening to the birds and animals. The instruction was very knowledgeable. Dinner at the local was exceptional also

    This tour was an incredible experience lead by a very knowledgeable guide. We really enjoyed hearing about the history of the area and gaining insight about the animals that call the tablelands home. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see the rainforest at night, and I thought this tour was more exciting and had more to see than the Daintree. Having binoculars and umbrellas supplied enhanced the experience and really showed how much Paul cared about the participant experience.

  5. Sean_M

    Getting to see the Tree Kangaroo and platypus was really good also the countless other animals The host was very knowledgeable and friendly It was a very good way to spend a last night in Cairns

  6. Lauren_E

    An amazingly knowledgeable guide that has a great understanding of the habitat and the surroundings, informative and fun tour I highly recommend.

  7. Jack_C

    Paul (the guide) was exceptional, very knowledgeable and helpful. We had three tours during our 5 days visit at Cairns and the Atherton Tablelands Rain Forest Night tour was by far the best experience. It was a real eye opener to see some of our precious Australian wildlife in their natural habitat.

  8. Suzanne_J

    Beautiful and ancient tropical rainforest. Informative guide who did his best to entertain us. Very few animals were seen as it poured with rain the whole time.

  9. Alex_S

    Booked this rainforest tour with my family and our expectations were completely exceeded. Our tour guide was absolutely amazing at showing us all the different wildlife in the rainforest during they day and at night. He also gave us historical insight into the rainforest as well as the town we visited. Overall amazing experience, would 100% book again if we came back to Cairns!

  10. Mark_L

    We had a great time. Paul was a wonderful guide and had many interesting stories and lots of information to share. We didn’t see as many animals as we had hoped but this is a rainforest not a petting zoo.

  11. Ben_H

    Saw a tree kangaroo and other night animals. Great guide who knew his job and especially the rainforest.

  12. Deborah_W

    Michelle, our guide/ driver was amazing and fun. She made the day informative and memorable with her love for her job. Thanks Michelle.

  13. Martin_P

    Seeing a platypus in the wild was beyond expectations. Flying foxes and possums were also beautiful and the two fig trees were breathtaking. Paul is a knowledgeable and passionate guide who really cares for the amazing ecosystem here. Excellent trip all around.

  14. Jeannie_T

    The tour was really good. We saw a lot of wildlife. It was amazing. Also the van was comfortable and the dinner was good

  15. Jan_K

    Everything was very interesting, both trail through the rain Forest in afternoon and walk at night with possums, lesser sooty owl and boyd Forest dragon. Probably the most memorable was the huge fig tree watched in darkness in the light of spot light. Most importantly, the guide was very competent. Dinner was also very good, in interesting place. I would recommend this excurtion to all liking nature.

  16. AYAKA_O

    Our guide Paul was very friendly and welcoming person. He knew a lot about the animals and the Atherton area. He was very good at finding animals, happy to share his deep knowledge with us, and very passionate about providing great experience for us.
    Last but not least, I loved the dinner in classic local pub.

  17. Noah_S

    Great trip! Paul was a very knowledgeable guide, and the stops were spot on. Seeing some of these iconic animals in the wild was a treat, especially the flying foxes and platypus. Would definitely recommend!

    This was a great trip. We saw Platypus, Possums, leaf-tailed gecko, friut bats, wallabies etc The trip up and back from the Tableland was a bit hairy but it was worth it. Lovely meal in the Pub at the Yungaburra Hotel. Yungaburra is where we saw the platypus.

    The activity itself deserves a five star but I am only able to give it three. The guide was very nice when he picked us up. But the longer it went, the more he seemed to be getting agitated (for lack of a better word) He was not open for questions or willing to stop to let anyone enjoy something. This was supposed to be for us to enjoy the rainforest. One lady stopped to look at a spider and he because very rude and told her she needed to keep going. She spent less than a minute taking a picture and he was very upset. Myself and another person wanted to take a picture as the sun was setting and we were told to stop and keep up. He was trying to show us all a tree kangaroo and my daughter said she couldn’t see it. He was more agitated that she didn’t see it and she didn’t feel comfortable trying to find it. It was obviously dark and one of the guests had a knee problem. It was uneven surface and I turned on my phone flashlight and was promptly told he was the only one who was to turn on a light. We rushed everywhere and really couldn’t enjoy things. We won’t get to do this again and it should have been for us to enjoy. Not for us to enjoy what he chose for us to enjoy. Everyone is different but there was no chance for anyone to enjoy anything. His driving was extremely fast. The road is very, very windy for quite a long time. He sped through it and several of us were concerned. The tour itself could have been amazing but was not because of his attitude and driving.

    Great opportunity to see platypus. Bumpy journey on minibus, not very comfortable and some muddy paths so you are looking at the ground to watch your step. Wildlife viewing from roads much better. Very knowledgeable guide.
