Top Queensland Hiking & Camping

We had a great day out with Allister’s small group tour. We were picked up right on time from our accommodation. The croc tour was fun and then we had a lovely lunch at the Daintree Tearooms followed by a lovely walk through the Daintree to a waterfall where we had a swim. Allister was knowledgeable and friendly. Would highly recommend!

An amazing all inclusive trip! Well worth the money, this is a must and I would highly recommend it!

Brilliant. Crew outstanding. Well oiled and slick operation on all counts. Went with the family on a day with less than ideal weather conditions. But that didn’t stop us having a bucket filling experience, on the big purple boat! Generous, fun, relaxing. Do yourself a favour - book, go and enjoy.

The tour with Allister was exceptional! He is a local and a wealth of information. We saw a lot of crocodiles, had an exceptional lunch and the hike to the hidden swimming hole complete with a waterfall topped off our perfect day!

What a wonderful afternoon we had with the team at Skywind and their majestic owls. To get up close to these beautiful creatures was very special and I’d love to do it again some time. I highly recommend this unique experience.

Michelle was anexcellent guide, full of information and highly approachable. The pub/pie lunch was excellent. Platypus viewing was a major highlight.

It was an amazing day ! Relaxing drive , tasty lunch with presentation about tropical fruit, and pleasant walk through impressive Daintree Rainforest with interesting stories about animals,trees and plants . Swimming in the waterfall lake in the forest was an unforgettable experience. Thanks , Alistair!

Alister was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide for our rainforest walk and waterfall swim. As a local he is deeply connected to the land and people and has great stories to share. A great experience all around and would definitely recommend.

Michelle was a great tour guide - very knowledgeable and helpful. It was a great day out - beautiful scenery, was wonderful seeing platypus, a pitta, a Ulysses butterfly, fruit bats, a blue helmeted honeyeater, a brush turkey and turtles. Lunch was wonderful also - great pies. Would highly recommend this tour.

I have been interested in falconry since about 10; I am now 75. So this was a bucket-list experience for me. Awesome experience. I learnt some new things. Wufka the barking owl was my favourite. Very highly recommended. Beautiful setting.

I chose the day trip bundle which includes a round-trip ferry, 3-hour kayaking, 3-hour snorkeling and 1-hour stand-up paddle board retal. I really liked how flexible the resort staff were with the time-limit of the experience. They also explained the ocean currents and time of current shift, which was useful knowledge for kayaking. I did rent the kayak and snorkel gear simultaneously so I could kayak to the ship wreck snorkeling spot, beached my kayak and snorkel out to the ship wreck, which was a habitat for many fish.Kayaking towards the ship wreck was easy even for first-timer like myself because the ocean current pushing behind me was very strong. Yet, the snorkel swim, which was perpendicular to the current, was more about constantly fighting the current rather than a relaxing swim. Float jacket and snorkel breathing gear were essential. It could be quite dangerous for people who were not strong swimmers so swimming with a buddy was recommended. On my way back to the kayak rental spot, the stong current was pushing against me so I struggled to paddle in the ocean and had to dragged the heavy kayak back on the beach for some part of the journey, which was not fun. That's when I realised I should have paid more attention when the staff explained the current shift time earlier, so I could have timed the return trip accordingly. Fortunately, the current weakened later so I could go back out to paddle my way back. I skipped the stand-up paddle board experience since I was not that interested and was too tired.With limited time left, I then went on a quick hike towards the south of the island just pass the Tangalooma pier. I think it was the Desert bush-walking trail. After about 30 minutes of climbing stairs, I reached a high point to take scenic pictures of the Tangalooma beach shoreline and the wreck.Beware that no training of the equipment will be provided since they are available in the other more expensive "tour" options. Watching a few youtube tutorials on snorkeling and kayaking is enough for most people to learn the basic. The ferry terminal from brisbane (220 Holt street) was also quite far away from public transport, which took me more than 1.5 hour to travel from Brisbane Central (by train, then bus, then 25-minute walk). This was also made worse since I was informed to arrive before 6:45am to collect my boarding pass, which was much earlier than the advertised ferry departure time of 7:30am. The time available to spend on the island was quite short. The ferry arrived and departed from the island at 9am and 4pm respectively. Many of the interesting add-on activities were outside of this time frame, like dolphin-feeding. I wish I could stay longer and depart on the last ferry around 7pm.Overall, it was still an action-packed and thrilling day. AU$119 is definitely great value for money because of the many inclusive experience.

Outstanding. Pick-up and drop off was flawless and easy. So many options. We were very happy and impressed.

The island is paradise, but unfortunately too touristy on every corner there are activities, We have retreated in a quiet place in the sun

What an amazing way to experience all Cairns has to offer in 3 days. All the days were different but magical in their own ways. The professionalism, knowledge and friendliness of all the staff was first class. You are never rushed , the equipment they provide is excellent and the value is great. Thank you , you have made Cairns a special memory for us

Exciting, Very interesting, unlike anything else I’ve ever done. Highly recommend this great experience.
