We very much enjoyed our day with Daryl from Discovery Tours Australia! This was so very organized. From the moment Daryl picked us up at our hotel, he was so friendly, and very informative, with such a great personality! He added a lot of fun throughout our afternoon, being in the 4 wheel drive, and we could tell he really loves what he does. We learned so very much about this beautiful rain forest indeed! Such a great day, highly recommend this tour! Thank you
