One thing that has stopped a few people doing this......you need to go to Uni to get a degree to be an accredited Tour guide......
Nick, hire me! I have got 2 degrees, so double pay would be appropriate? lol:lol:

Thanks DanN,
I have just secured private access to a uniqe patch of land up there. I am heading up for a few test runs before the wet. Looks like the first tours will be up and running by late April / early May (weather permitting).

Problematically, if you were granted the permits (through DERM), I believe they will hold you accountable (at least in part) for what happens on the trip, if a client grabs a lizard for a photo ...or worse...Could you run into trouble as you would need to be supervising their actions while they are on YOUR trip?
Secondly, what happens if you fall ill, you need to price the trip with at least 2 guides.
Cheers,
Scott Eipper

But do you have two degrees in Cape York Tour Guiding:lol: My better half is also a candidate, she majored in Aboriginal Studies
The accreditation idea is a good point. Whilst it holds some strength, I can tell you that there are plenty of people offering tours in CYP that do not have any formal education let alone a university degree.
sounds great nick the prob im thinking about is what is stopping people going on a tour and then going back and poaching animal they see?
