As I depart on the one day tour to Cooktown, Cathy, our driver/tour guide announced that she was 'born and bred in the Daintree, so we wouldn't get lost'. A comforting feeling when one sets out to some of Australia's remote areas with opposing landscapes as we cross from the lush coastal rainforest over the mountains of the Great Dividing... More

We took the 1 day 4WD Cooktown Adventure, and they really pack a lot into one day! We were taken through some of the most gorgeous scenery, through the rainforest, over babbling creeks and over mountain ranges. The travel guide and driver, Mark, was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable (and funny!) and pointed out loads of great sights, historical points... More

Extremely worthwhile tour via the Daintree, Bloomfield Track and return via Palmer River Roadhouse and Mt. Carbine. Lots of information about Captain Cook and the repair of the Endeavour at Cooktown. Cooktown Museum worth a look. Best scones I have every tasted when we stopped for morning tea at the Daintree “On the Turps Restaurant”. Our tour guide Darryl provided... More

I set off feeling like an intrepid explorer August 24th 2012. Our host, guide, driver, Kath was a stunner. As a local, her knowledge was expert, and clearly she is passionate about this part of the world. I sat behind Kath, and watched her treat the vehicle as her own,skillfully changing gears, and with great respect. The day is long... More

This far North Queensland trip is a Must Do. Firstly I must say that Jorge, our very knowledgable guide for the day is a very special man. In his humble way he told us many interesting things about the changing horticulture and history of this beautiful area. The Aboriginal culture, folklore and interesting anecdotes were all told throughout an extremely... More

We recently enjoyed Adventure North's 1-day 4WD tour from Port Douglas to Cooktown and return Jorge is a top-class driver and tour guide. He obviously loves the whole area, especially the Daintree rainforest, and his knowledge and enthusiasm are impressive. The only downside is that this trip covers a lot of territory in 12 hours, so you can only skim... More
