Cape Tribulation - Daintree - Night Walks - Spotlighting - Day Walk Tours

Sensibly priced. We greatly enjoyed the Daintree night walk. We had visited the walkway during the day but with a knowledgeable guide night creatures and nature highlights were revealed. The couple I encouraged to join us said they felt it would be a highlight of their whole time in Northern Queensland. Thank you.

This night walk is a perfect way to discover the Daintree rainforest from a different perspective. Ian is very knowledgeable and is amazing at spotting wildlife. He obviously loved the forest, its origins and the fragile ecosystems it hosts. Our tour was supposed to be cancelled because of the heavy rains but we didn't receive the cancellation. Ian was more than happy to take us on the walk anyways and despite the heavy rain, we had a wonderful evening. Would highly recommend!

My partner and I had a wonderful night tour with Ian. We nabbed a last minute booking due to a cancellation, so really appreciated the quick response and flexibilty to accomodate us. Go in with an open mind about what you might see (and hear!) - the tour is about experiencing the rainforest as a precious and unique ecosystem, not a list of wildlife to check off. Enjoy the stillness and darkness of the forest at night. Have at least one minute with all lights off, it's magic. And make sure you come with closed-toe shoes (thanks for the lend of the Crocs, Ian..!).

This Jungle Escapes tour was absolutely amazing and a must if you enjoy wildlife and nature. A big thank you to Ian for getting me situated - I had a hiccup with my reservation the first night but he allowed me to move it to the following night. The night of the tour itself was so incredible. Up in Cape Trib for a week, I had gone on quite a few “night walks” myself on the Dubuji boardwalk. This experience was unparalleled though - exclusive access in unlogged rainforest… during the rain. Nat (I believe that was her name?) was our tour guide and she was super informative and was able to spot all sorts of plants and critters and tell us about them. We saw snails, stick bugs, crickets with MASSIVE antennae, heaps of spiders, bioluminescent fungi… but the highlight of the night for me was seeing not one, but TWO Boyd’s forest dragons. I was very pleased by the tour’s approach to the wildlife. They asked us not to shine our lights at them due to them sleeping at night and their sensitive eyes. I don’t think a lot of tours would have that same respect for wildlife. To add to the ambience of the tour… 1/3 of the way through, a deluge of rain began. But hey - that’s the rainforest. Huge thank you to the Jungle Escapes team for making my last night in Cape Tribulation so wonderful!

Great tour with Ian, he had heaps of knowledge and showed the very small group heaps of night creatures and the wonders of the Daintree, would recommend as a must do! Very unique experience.

Took part in the 7.30-9.30 night walk. Had a wonderful time walking through the rainforest in the darkness (with some torch light). This walk offers a great opportunity to take a closer look into the wilderness and have closer connections with this ancient forest. Our walk guide Ian is very knowledgeable, deeply passionate about the flora and fauna in this natural environment, very considerate and has a great laidback sense of humour.

Easily worth the price for a night walk with Ian. He's knowledgeable about the ecosystem and how the aboriginal culture relates with it. He has an intelligent and well thought out perspective on what the daintree represents and the correlation it shares with other aspects of our life. I personally also think his humour is A+++, really good for banter. We saw some great flora and fauna with him, he's so good at spotting stuff. Highly recommend if you want to make the most out of your daintree experience.

Ian’s knowledge and passion for ecology and country was inspiring and profound. Very engaging and extremely amusing tour guide. Thanks Ian :) !!
