I had a fantastic afternoon and evening on this tour. The guide was extremely experienced and knew the best places to take his group to view extraordinary wildlife. The dinner was scrumptious. Take this tour you will enjoy every moment.

Amazing trip, amazing guide
Viewing wildlife is hard, the wildlife are never where you want them to be. However with our guides knowledge and a little bit of luck we were able to see a mother and baby tree kangaroo, a platypus (who made us run along the muddy bank to keep up with her) then during the night portion we saw the rare green ring tail possum (three of them) the rusty ring tail and the common ring tail. It was a fantastic trip and I would recommend this to every one when they visit Cairns!!

Cheers Paula it was a blast showing you around. By the way it’s a Coppery Brushtail not a rusty ringtail!
