    We travelled with Uncle Brian’s tours and can’t recommend it highly enough . Cousin Paul was the funniest and most informative guide I have ever had. So knowledgeable. Loved ever part of it, but the crocodile cruise was my favourite.

    Great day out. Although long, lots of beautiful stops scheduled to break up the driving. Tour guide was so informative and lovely. My two young kids enjoyed the trip. Would recommend .

    Fantastic day

    Fantastic day eventhough I'm 64. Trent was flexible on the times, made it fun yet informative. 11hrs turned into 13hrs but I don't know where the time went. I would recommend to anyone

    A lovely trip

    I did this tour with my 6 year old daughter. I didn’t expect her to enjoy the day as much as she did. Our tour guide was the main reason for this! I myself was chaotic in the morning as I was unsure of our pick up location (make sure to click on the links in your message to find this) and the customer service were so helpful and didn’t even make a thing of me messing it up!! The crocodile cruise was probably our favourite part. Thank you for a great day and your knowledge of birds, insects, plants etc really made the trip!

    Best Way to Do the Daintree!

    Everything about this trip was great from start to finish. The stop at the palm tree point in Port instead of Four Mile Beach was a nice, more secluded place to enjoy morning tea. And the private swimming hole in the Daintree was an awesome experience! Our guide, Matt, was knowledgeable and comical, making the otherwise long drive fun and enjoyable. This is a great tour that anyone travelling to Cairns should do!

    What a Tour

    James_P, Nov 2022
    Paul and Kurt went way out of their way in hosting the tour. Great sense of humor and very knowledgeable about many topics. Even included a trip to one of Paul’s friend to quickly fix a minor AC problem(LOL). Had a great time and saw a Cassawary bird and two chicks.

    Response from Host, Jan 2023

    How good was the AC man...nearly az good as CAssowary

    This trip greatly...

    Darrell_S, Nov 2022
    This trip greatly exceeded my expectations. It was a long day packed with numerous stops and activities. The views of the coast were spectacular and the time in the rainforest was interesting and informative. Paul does a great job as a tour guide. He is very informed and has a great sense of humor. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Cairns.

    Organisation of tour. Friendly manner of Paul our driver. His knowledge of the Daintree was excellent. I’d ability to make everyone feel included in the trip especially as we were the oldest couple on the trip(64) with the rest of the group in their 20’s

    Response from Host, Jun 2022

    64 going on 24 we heard!!!! Thanks so much!xx

    Go Charles.

    Mariette_V, Nov 2021
    Our tour guide Charles was kind and full of information. My 14 year old learned so much on this trip., from plants to the scenic surroundings. We enjoyed every second of it, each area we visited were beautiful trying to outdone the previous scenery.

    Daintree n Cape Tribulation came alive under Uncle Brian's tour

    Poon_O, Jul 2021
    Had great fun. Paul is an excellent guide witty, share his extensive knowledge of Daintree n the reef in such an entertaining way. Will definitely recommend.
