We recently enjoyed a personalised morning kayak tour with Pete. My husband and I were looking for something different to do on a day trip to the Daintree that isn't on the usual tourist route since we are locals to the Cairns area. We decided to give Paddletrek a call after reading the rave reviews on Trip Advisor: the night... More

My daughter and I visited Cape Trib-fabulous! and enjoyed a wonderful morning in the water kayaking with Dwyght. The kayaking was a pleasure-Pete and Dwyght picked us up where we were staying, returning us after as well. Such nice men and intent on insuring you have a wonderful time when out kayaking. Dwyght couldn't have been nicer and more invested... More

Dwyght, our guide, took my partner and I on the sunset cruise paddle on Easter Sunday. It was relaxing, fun and insightful. We were fortunate enough to see turtles along 'turtle town' the reef surrounding Cape Tribulation beach. We saw local Sea Eagles soaring through the cloudless sky. We also caught a glimpse of a Black Bitten, an endangered coastal... More

Awesome ! My partner and I had a great time on this tour. Dwight is such a good guide, very friendly and knowledgable too. We had rain and wind during a section of this tour, and we actually enjoyed it very much ! At least the sun is not too hard on the skin and it's just a nice feeling... More

Pete our guide took care of everything and was a font of information about the natural world. He made me feel really safe and was professional in explaining everything. It was an amazing adventure - paddling out onto the ocean - like sitting in a lounge chair out in the sea with nothing but sky and sea and views of... More

We had an amazing trip with Pete. We were able to see lots of wildlife and Pete gave a totally different perspective on the rainforest. Should be number one in Cape Trib!

We had the best time and so much fun. A massive sea turtle appeared just a couple meters in front if us and we could follow it for a while when we were going around the cape. Spectacular!

Pete and Dwight were fantastic guides, taking us out onto the Coral Sea off Cape Tribulation to view the eclipse. A beautiful way to explore the Daintree region, paddling out and looking back to see the majestic mountains. Brilliant.

Loved this activity!! We had a fantastic guide (Peter - I think) who was chilled and friendly from the get go. Although we didn't see much sea life (not really the point of us doing this activity), we loved being able to paddle in the ocean and look back at the amazing landscape. Our guide could see we were clearly... More

Another thumbs up for Dwyght! We're good paddlers but did the tour instead of self guided rental. TOTALLY worth it - Dwyght was super friendly, knowledgeable and took us to see turtles, dolphins, and a mangrove tour. Dwyght managed our group very well which included first time paddlers. Do it :-)
