I can highly recommend this trip. You are very well looked after in a professional but relaxed way. I didn't have to think about anything other than deciding what to eat. I will definitely be doing another Intrepid Tour.

I did trip from Sydney to Cairns (with Daintree forest) and had two guides - Rachel and Brendan. They were both amazing! Would definitely recommend. This trip makes me want to come back to Australia to explore it even more.

The Daintree & Cape Tribulation Adventure was a very exciting tour. From the moment we met our guide and driver, Rachael, every part of our tour was filled with new experiences. From the amazing cable car ride through the rainforest to the unforgettable Great Barrier Reef snorkeling was a trip of a lifetime.

This trip is suitable for overseas and people who live in Australia - it has a great combination of travel to new places, experiences, learning our traditions, and looking after what we have in Australia flora fauna animals. We got to walk in interesting places, learn about our traditional owners, see the reef, enjoy the learning.

I honestly had the time of my life on this trip, unforgettable memories with a brilliant multi-generational group and fantastic tour leader, Rachael Anderson! Even more stunning than I could have imagined - well-paced, scenic, varied activities, educational and the most relaxing mental break I could have hoped for!
