what a tour! if you're fascinated by wildlife, especially in the unique settings in the ancient rainforests around cairns, then go for this tour. Paul the guide is so skilled at finding all the wildlife in surroundings where you'd never spot them yourself and is very knowledgeable about all the animals you see. he equips you with binoculars, too, which helps to really get a proper glimpse of the animals that are sometimes hard to spot with the naked eye. Couldn't recommend it more highly.
This was a wonderful and unforgettable experience. Paul is a great guide! Highly recommend this! We have a wonderful video of the platypus we saw, that Paul took and airdropped to my phone!
오리너구리를 보았습니다ㅠㅠㅠ 동물원이 아닌 야생에서 사냥하는 걸 보다니 너무 기뻤어요 그리고 가이드 분이 야생동물을 대하는 자세가 매우좋았어요. 정말 그들의 삶을 해치지 않고 살짝 엿보는 느낌이에요. 사실 불빛 하나 없는 곳을 탐험할 일이 살면서 얼마나 있겠어요. 꼭 오리너구리가 아니라도 인디아나 존스 찍는 기분이라 좋았어요 해가 지기 전에는 그냥 그랬는데 해지니까 본격적으로 재밌어졌어요. 여러분 꼭하세요ㅠㅠ

Good fun
Quite a unique thing to do especially for big-city people - wandering in the rainforest at night. Enjoyed it. As a huge bonus spotted platypus in the wild, which was also great.
