The Idea

Tell James what you want.
He'll make it happen.

Custom tours aren't booked online. They're conversations. James knows this rainforest inside and out — hidden spots, private access, places that take years of local trust to reach.

Deep rainforest trail through old-growth jungle

Rainforest Hikes

Deep into the canopy

Multi-hour walks through old-growth rainforest. Ancient trees, hidden waterfalls, wildlife encounters. James picks the trail based on the season, the weather, and what the jungle is doing that day.

Swimming Holes

Crystal clear water

Private freshwater spots deep in the Daintree. The water is cold, clean, and surrounded by nothing but jungle. Some are a short walk off the trail. Others take longer. Worth every step.

Untouched forest accessible only through private property

Private Access

Places only James can take you

Years of relationships with local landowners. Private trails, untouched forest, spots where you won't see another person. These are experiences you can't find on any tour website.

How It Works

Simple as a conversation

1. Get in touch

Send James a message. Tell him what you're after — hiking, swimming, exploring, or all of the above.

2. James plans it

He'll figure out the best route, the right time, and what to bring. He checks the weather, trails, and whether the swimming holes have water.

3. You show up

Meet James at the arranged spot. He handles everything. All you need is closed shoes, water, and curiosity.

Good to Know

Before you ask

Pricing

Custom tours are priced by arrangement depending on duration, location, and group size. James will give you a clear price upfront — no surprises.

Fitness

Some hikes are easy. Some aren't. James will match it to your level. Just be honest about what you can handle.

Availability

Custom tours run on James's schedule around the night walks. Give him a few days notice if you can. Last-minute is sometimes possible.

What to Bring

Closed shoes, water, sun protection, and a towel if you want to swim. James brings everything else — including the good spots.
