Our family really enjoyed our day tour. It showcased this amazing island beautifully. The bus was comfortable, lunch was delicious and our guide Blair was professional and a great storyteller. Highly recommended.

Tim made the tour a highlight for my UK friends visiting Sydney for the first time. He was full of fascinating information and very entertaining. Thank you Tim.

Dennis with a double n was gold as a tour guide. Saw plenty and a magical experience.

We had a fabulous day with Dean, he was a wonderful guide with so much knowledge of the island (our first time). Loved every minute, could have spent a lot more time there and will definitely be coming back. Lake Mackenzie was the highlight for us, just beautiful!

Big shout out to Katarina for giving us an awesome tour of the Sydney Opera House! We were mostly inside … like about 90 percent of the time. We got to see both performing venues, which both had live rehearsals going on. It was really cool learning about the fun facts! Utzon was the original architect… sad to hear about his story, but glad he was honoured at the end. Anyways, Katarina kept the tour organized, we were on time, and we even got to see an extra room at the end! We had headsets where we could hear Katarina talk to us. I get sidetracked easily, but Katarina organized the info so well that I was never bored! The tour was one hour, and they ate quite a bit of steps to go up and down. So if you have physical limitations, I would recommend reconsider this tour. Also, I booked online and that was a seamless process.

Be early make sure you get your tickets and get good seats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent river tour on the Daintree, operator was very knowledgeable about the area and the wildlife, located a number of crocodiles, snakes and birds up close, boat is very quiet and allows close access, location was easy to get to.. great value and happy to recommend

Up close and personal with the crocs. Tour operator was super knowledgeable. It felt authentic and not too touristy. Felt super safe at all times. We had the added bonus of watching the black kites swooping in for some chicken too. Loved the whole experience and would highly recommend.

We did the 2-hour tour with David and it was absolutely worth paying for the extra hour!David is incredibly knowledgeable about the crocodiles, wildlife and the whole Daintree River environment. We saw so many crocodiles, and they were completely unfazed by the boat, which meant we were able to get incredibly close while still feeling completely safe.David has such a calm and lovely energy, and you can genuinely tell how much he loves what he does and cares about the crocodiles and the environment. We could have happily spent the whole day on the boat listening to him and exploring the river!The whole experience was fascinating, relaxing and so much fun. Thank you so much, David, for such a brilliant experience. We would absolutely recommend the 2-hour tour to anyone visiting the Daintree — it’s definitely worth the extra time!

Wonderful whale watching tour, one of the best we have done! We saw so many whales and the commentary from the marine biologist onboard was very interesting, I definitely learned more than other tours we have done. Recommend doing this tour if you are in Perth!

This is a must do experience. Despite the fact that we were late for our appointed visit time - got lost on the way - we were welcomed and put on to the next trip out. Fortunately it was a quietish day. It was Roger who took us out on the boat to find the crocodiles - this is not a sanctuary or conservation site but just where these crocodiles live. He was very informative and entertaining on the whole trip and the crocodiles "performed" apparently happily. The Black Kites that followed the boat (they got fed too) put on an amazing flying show as well. It was a great day out and the Cafe is a bonus with a good selection of food and drinks available. There are organised trips (coach etc) to this place but we chose to hire a car which actually suited us financially.

The Passion of Paradise crew under Captain Darcy are consummate professionals. Our day trip to the GBR was faultless from start to finish. Check in, directions and entrance to the boat were so warm and clear. Coffee & fruit upon boarding was such a nice welcome. The snorkelling equipment was clean and instructions great condition and instructions to be safe in the water were very clear, with the team watching out to keep us safe. The team got straight in with us to help guide any unsure swimmers and point out marine life we may have otherwise missed! Their commitment to customer service was evident when the swimming team got straight out and straight onto serving lunch, we were super grateful. The food at lunch time was impeccable and of super high restaurant standard- a stunning range of salads and hot food. On the journey back to land we had a 30 minute marine talk from one of the team, which was so so educational, concise and beautifully presented. The captains, skippers, chefs and stews have such an evident passion for hospitality and genuine care for their passengers. We have had an incredible day on board Paradise III, thank you to the incredible crew for such an unforgettable day! I cannot recommend this company, crew and day enough.

Everything was great. Experience, crew, food

Very good experience, great food and the complimentary drink was fantastic.

An incredible night out exploring parts of Sydney that may ordinarily be missed. Ryan was an exceptional guide. Extremely knowledgeable and funny too.... yet sensitive to particular topics when necessary. He kept the tour moving without making you feel rushed. Highly recommend this tour.

Excellent trip, buffet was superb.
