Booking Pete is advised as he is a true character. With being born and raised in Kenia, spending some 24 years in Papa New Guinea and now over fifteen years in the Rainforest he can share wonderful experiences and introduce you to survival in nature. You will learn a lot about plants, natural medicines and animal life, but be advised,... More

Our day spent with Pete was absolutely the highlight of our trip to Australia. My husband and I joined another couple from Germany for a full day adventure customized to our interests. We licked ant butts, witnessed ants turning into spiders, climbed inside giant trees, spotted cassowaries, explored medicinal plants in the rainforest, all while learning a ton about the... More

In one word: Fantastic! Our family of 2 adults and 3 kids under 12 spent the day adventuring in the Daintree with Pete. We licked ant butts (source of ascorbic acid), watched fruit bats resting, picked apart Cassowary poop, watched a leech grow on Pete's wrist (he put it there on purpose since it's good luck), saw spiders the size...

My husband and I had the opportunity to go on a tour with Pete in December of 2012. He could definitely be in the running for the most interesting man in Australia. He is full of amazing stories from around the globe, which really made the day fly by. Pete instantly feels like an old friend who truly loves to... More

As you can tell from the 50 previous 5-star reviews, a tour of Daintree with Pete is a no-brainer. He picked us up at our lodging, spent the entire day showing us the rainforest, and then returned us to our lodging after. The tour was great - we saw so many things in the rainforest we otherwise would have missed!... More

Pete Baxendell is amazing! This tour was a definite highlight of my trip to Australia. I don't believe I have ever learned so much in one day! Pete is knowlegeable, fun, and an amazing person! Pete's knowledge of the rainforest is unbelievable and I don't believe any other person could have convinced me to eat or touch some of the... More

We wanted to write to thank Pete and his wife Trish for the highlight of our recent trip to Queensland. From the prompt pick up and fascinating insight into local Bama culture as we drove up to Daintree, we knew that we were in safe hands. Pete was wonderfully knowledgeable about every detail of the forest, he took us right... More

Pete gave us a great day, probably one of the best of our holiday. We were 4 adults having a private tour in 4wd in Daintree and we were delighted to meet Pete :) This unprecedented tour was a great success. Actually the tour is both entertaining and educational and, at the same time, an access to a basic and... More

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour myself and my wife took with Pete last year. Pete's knowledge and enthusiasm for the area is plain to see and he has many stories to tell about his life before doing these tours. As other reviewers have stated he encourages you to touch everything and experience everything that the rainforest can offer. However there is... More

I recently enjoyed a private tour with my girlfriend through the Daintree rainforest and Cape Tribulation, led by Pete, the best tour guide you'll ever meet. The day started early beginning our journey by being picked up by Pete in his authentic all wheel drive Land Rover. During the short journey to Daintree, he kept us entertained with his knowledge...
