🚨 Rainforest Rescue Opportunity! 🌳
Want to help forever protect a portion of the Daintree with us?

At Down Under Tours, we specialise in tours throughout this magnificent region and are proud to support Rainforest Rescue in their efforts towards preserving our beloved Daintree. These incredible partners have been safeguarding rainforests since 1999 and now have a rare opportunity to purchase and permanently protect a pristine parcel of tropical rainforest.

Here are the details:

- Nearly 12 hectares of unprotected land, adjacent to World Heritage-listed habitat
- Critical habitat for the Southern Cassowary, endangered Flying Foxes, and other threatened species
- Home to several significant and endangered ecosystems
- If cleared, this land could cause serious harm to nearby river systems

And here's the best part:

🌿 Happy Earth Day! 🌿

We've joined forces with Rainforest Rescue and the TreadRight Foundation to create this breathtaking Daintree mural at the Native Nursery in Cow Bay!

Victoria McGrane has captured the magic of Australia's Daintree Rainforest in this stunning artwork that celebrates our precious biodiversity.

The best part? We didn't just admire art- we got our hands dirty planting native trees to help the Daintree regenerate! 🌱 These seedlings are lovingly grown at a nursery that produced over 56,000 trees last year!

Spotted during our planting: native ladybirds controlling aphids, colourful dragonflies and gorgeous Ulysses butterflies fluttering among the plants! 🦋

We're proud and excited to support regenerative tourism that helps visitors experience the world's oldest living rainforest while actively contributing to its future.

Remember: "Nature is not a place to visit; it is home." 💚

Our Story

At Down Under Tours we abide by the motto ‘Our People make the difference’. From our accommodating Driver/Guides, hostess team and dynamic Marketing personalities working on the front line, to our friendly Reservations staff, Operations team, IT, mechanical workshop and dedicated Administrative people working behind the scenes, it is our people who define our standards of quality and consistency. We have a culture of striving continually for excellence in all that we do. Down Under Tours is Tropical North Queensland’s leading day tour operator. We are blessed to have two World Heritage listed areas on our doorstep; the Daintree Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef. Our comprehensive day tour program encompasses the most popular destinations of Kuranda, Cape Tribulation & Daintree, taking in this amazing World Heritage listed area. Our driver/guides and Hostesses are passionate about our destination, and love to share their knowledge and experience with you. All tours are operated in our superior fleet and are designed to ensure maximum comfort and safety, with features including panoramic side windows to enable exceptional viewing. Down Under Tours also operates an extensive Group charter division, and sets itself apart from our competitors with a range of superior vehicles and exceptional customer and client service. Our Australian built fleet are all fitted out with leather seats & timber floors. Our experienced Groups Department can assist with all transport requirements from itinerary planning, airport and dinner transfers, special interest groups, series groups, extended touring and Conferences & Incentives. Where we came from … We have come a long way from our humble beginnings in 1990 when brothers Gordon & James Dixon, along with their partners Helen & Jann, founded the company. Being raised in a family business in transport and logistics, it was a natural progression for the two brothers to establish their own company. In 1990 we started out with 6 vehicles and a handful of staff. This has steadily grown over time to now having the most modern, luxury fleet of 39 vehicles and employing 58 local staff, comprising strong, capable and experienced teams in marketing, administration, IT, reservations, operations, mechanical workshop, driver/guides and hostesses. The focus of Down Under Tours has always been exceptional customer service and value for money experiences. It has been instilled in our staff that every day you go out you are delivering dreams. Through this philosophy we have continued to flourish and with a major focus on IT, our ability to deliver the best product & experiences to our clients has become a reality. In August 2014, AAT Kings (who are owned by The Travel Corporation (TTC), the largest privately owned travel company in the world) became a majority shareholder of Down Under Tours. Both companies are family owned and have similar business philosophies, and this secures our long term future.
