We visited the Daintree Rainforest which was absolutely amazing! Such incredible vegetation and wildlife. Our tour guide Rick was a wealth of knowledge - so much so that other tour guides were asking him questions! Clearly he enjoys what he does because his passion was evident. He knew the names of the trees, vines and wildlife and gave us insight into "bouncing rocks" and aboriginal culture and tribal markings. He brought us to a completely empty beach with the most amazing views, the tour buses went one way and we went another! Lunch at a wonderful restaurant was delicious and it was followed by homemade ice cream in the most amazing flavors from fruits grown on the property. I would highly recommend this tour - Rick was so great and we left with so much information and memories. We also went on a river tour of the Daintree searching for crocodiles and snakes. We saw a tree snake, various lizards, nests and several "baby' crocs. Captain Bill was awesome - knowledgable and hilarious!
