Such an informative tour, with an amazing guide Frankie! He told us so much about the aboriginal history and about the rain. All the stops we made were unreal, 100% recommend to anyone who is thinking about doing it.

We had the best time ever with this group! The experiences you visit are AMAZING. A special thanks to Brian our tour guide who made it an unforgettable experience, it would of been so different without his positive attitude and energy. 10/10 for Brian.
Great tour, and Cousin Renee did a fantastic job! So much was packed into the day’s activities and Renee was able to keep us all safe and on schedule for the entire trip. We spotted some huge crocs, wild pigs at Cape Tribulation and stopped for fresh tropical ice cream. All the while with Renee taking pictures for the whole group.
Amazing tour - with a lot of stops and a funny guide, who was so gorgeous. I would go again
Another great tour and tour guide - cousin Ranee . Great day and amazing destinations 👍
This is a great tour. We had Renee as our guide, she is fun and knowledgeable. The tour does involve a lot of driving but all efforts are made to keep it comfortable. Many reviews complain about this and I will say this : as an Australian who has travelled the country extensively, both flying and driving, if you want to experience this MASSIVE country, you will need to be prepared for long drives. Otherwise stay in the city and see nothing! We had morning tea at Palm Cove and saw 4 Mile Beach, then a croc cruise (another great guide), a swim in private water hole (get in!), lunch there (I recommend the fish burger), walk at cape trib beach, walk in rain forest, ice cream then home. I recommend this tour. Lots of young fun people and beautiful locations.
I did the 1 day cape tribulation tour on the 2nd September and did not feel it was worth the money - We didn’t stop at either of the two lookout points on the itinerary and was unable to go swimming due to low water. I did not think the guide gave us much information at all about the rainforest or cape tribulation. For me it was expensive as it lacked information on where we were visiting and activities were missed. The highlight for me was the crocodile seeing boatride which was included but run by another company.
Great experience with cousin Frankie! He was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. We had a fantastic day and got to see so much wildlife. I would recommend going with Uncle Brian’s!
I did the Best of Both Worlds overnight trip with Uncle Brian’s. With multiple pick up locations around town it was a smooth start. Tom, our tour guide, was super friendly and made the trip really good. All the activities were great and we spent a good amount of time in each place! The On the Wallaby Eco Lodge we stayed in overnight was super quaint and comfortable! Overall it was a great trip to see waterfalls, lots of wildlife, meet some great people and see what Cairns has to offer!
Had a fantastic experience with Harry on the trip. From start to finish he was accommodating, informative, helpful and great craic. He made the experience! Every stop was beautiful, food was great and bus was comfortable.
