View on Google MapsWe did the Daintree Rainforest Nightwalk Tour and boy am I glad we did. It ended up pouring, but that only added to the magic of being in such an ancient and beautiful place at night. We saw so many different kinds of frogs, peppermint stick insects, green ants, scorpions etc. We also got to learn more about the history of the people who historically call the place home and some of the uses they had for certain plants and animals. Our guide was incredibly passionate about the rainforest and very talented at spotting animals in the middle of the pouring rain at night. He was so in touch with the place that he gave the entire walk barefoot. He highlighted the main thing he wanted us to take away is that we’re losing our rainforest and that’s an absolute shame. I’d recommend this tour to everyone.
This was one of the most incredible tours I have ever been on. Our guide Kane was the most enthusiastic and personable guide. His knowledge and passion is remarkable and made this experience more than just a guided walk. He was great with children and what should have been a 2 hour walk, ended up being 3.5hours because the kids wouldn’t stop asking questions. We just absolutely loved it. We left this tour with our heads and hearts full of new knowledge and appreciation of the wonders of the Daintree.

We went in the rainy session and had a shower. Raincoats provided. However you meget get cooked inside. Many chose to get a little wet. Our guide made it a succes i the rain and made everyone enjoy his knowledge. We were very happy with the tour. For us it was insects to be spotted at night but worthwhile. A little too many People, and we would have loved to watch more animals.
The nightwalk in the Daintree yesterday evening (Nov 28th.) was exceptionally good. We started from Ferntree Lodge and walked for the best part of two hours. It was fascinating. Kane, the guide, was very knowledgeable and he shared his knowledge and enthusiasm in a genial and amiable way.
We went on the night walk with Kane as our guide and it was absolutely fabulous! He was incredibly knowledgeable about and familiar with the plants ,birds, animals, and insects in the rainforest. .It was just excellent- educational interesting and fun throughout! We highly recommended it! to anyone interested in learning more about the rainforest and its nocturnal creatures.
Shane, Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the flora and fauna. He highlighted things eg lichen spider that we would not have seen without his guidance. His use of an ultraviolet torch to slow us bioluminescence in some plants and fungi was one of the highlights. The tour was not rushed and there was plenty of time for each person to view highlighted plants and animals and all questions.
It is a great expedition into the rainforest where you can appreciate flora, fauna and fungi alike. It allows you to appreciate on a new level, everything around you in every square meter when you find yourself in this special place
Interesting tour and saw lots I never would’ve seen on my own, including peppermint stick insects, forest frog, and a huge golden orb weaving spider. The uv light showed fluorescent fungi, scorpions, and burgundy red leaves that were green in normal light. Unfortunately it was too dry for a lot of the more popular wildlife to be seen. The tour guide is a character though and takes a bit of getting used to. He is definitely dedicated to saving the unique and biodiverse wet tropics forest ecosystem.
We are always a little reluctant to give poor reviews, but think it’s necessary in this case in the hopes of giving useful advice to other travelers. This tour was disappointing and needs improvement in two respects. First, the group size is too big. Most of this tour is a night-time walk on the Dubuji Boardwalk. There were 14 people on our tour (plus the guide), so the group had to spread out in a loose line to stay on the boardwalk. The result was that the people in the back couldn’t hear the guide at times, and vice versa. This also meant that some people didn’t see some interesting animals (eels, crocs) that were scared away by the tourists at the front of the group. This then sets up a somewhat unpleasant dynamic among the tourists in the group, with some people pressing past others on the boardwalk in an effort not to miss a glimpse of something interesting. We recognize that the description of the tour clearly states that the group size is capped at 15, and we don’t feel misled. We just were disappointed with the quality that results from that size. The second aspect of the tour that needs improvement is the training for the guides. Our guide was fine, but we were not particularly impressed with his knowledge of the ecosystem. He didn’t provide information much beyond the basic facts from the plaques along the boardwalk (which we had read during the day). We would have loved to hear more about the different ways that the plants and animals in the rainforest interact with each other. Perhaps it was just our particular guide, as we note that our guide was not one mentioned in other reviews.
Our tour guide, Kane, was phenomenal. His excitement and knowledge was so palpable; we felt like just being in his presence he shone with a kind of radiance that was awe-inspiring. So glad we were lucky enough to meet him, and have him show our kid this remarkable ecosystem at night. He found creatures and natural wonders that we didn’t realise existed!!! Unbelievable opportunity to experience nature first hand, and I know our whole family will remember this night for many, many years to come.
