Excellent day! Our tour guide Chris was very informative, so many stories and not a bad singer. There was plenty of food and we managed to see a platypus ????

We did various tours and excursions on our trip, and this one did not disappoint. The tastings were amazing and all presented expertly. Our guide Dale's knowledge of the region and its history was very impressive. We did this tour our last day and we couldn't have ended our trip in a better way. As a bonus on our way back to Cairns we saw dozens of wild kangaroo. Would definitely recommend this tour!
