Rainforest adventure - James was an amazing tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and I can tell very passionate about what he does. He took us along the trails and pointed out birds and other animals along the way and showed us some kangaroos. We had enough time at each destination and I felt I got a really great tour. I would definitely tour with James again my favorite was the Springbrook trail the last hike of the day that was easy and we got to see some bats which was pretty cool. I recommend this tour if you are coming to Brisbane.

Great tour! - Scott was a most informative guide about history of the area, the animals, birds and many plants, very interactive with everyone on board and efficiently moved us from one area to the next. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour

Magical experience - This was my favourite tour of my whole trip - experiencing a real australian rainforest and seeing all the native birds in their natural habitat along with getting up and close with stunning waterfalls. I enjoyed the glow worms even if they were a bit underwhelming. This tour was made all the better by our excellent guide who was both passionate about spotting native wildlife for us but also giving us very interesting history and information about Queensland to pass time on our drive - fantastic. This is how every tour should be. My only suggestion would be could time be taken to briefly explore the frog hollow at the same time as the glow worms?

Nice to get out of town - James was so informative and a great guide. We enjoyed the tour, but things are always a bit rushed in a group. Really enjoyed the opportunity to get out of town and see more of what Queensland had to offer. The kids were bored and didn't really like having to be quiet and unable to run around a bit. They would have liked to explore a little more.

Average Tour Experience - Pros: The tour guide is a nice person. The tour offers sightseeing opportunities, allowing you to see various landmarks and attractions. Cons: The tour is expensive for what it offers. It mainly involves walking around, with few unique experiences. If you have previous travel experience in Asia, you may find this tour lacking novelty and excitement. The tour guide repeatedly referenced "when Europeans came to Australia", which seemed to inaccurately conflate British colonial history, potentially legitimizing British colonialism inappropriately.
