“The reef day was spectacular, the highlight of our trip. The food was good, the snorkeling was great. Overall, perfect. The forest day was a bit slower, wish there was more adventure on the forest day, I felt like it was too much talking and not enough sightseeing. Would have loved to visit more places in the Daintree and walked around a bit more. It was a nice lunch though.”
