Port Douglas

The first stop of the day is Port Douglas, where guests will stop for a walk and swim at the famous 4 Mile Beach! Known for its crystal clear waters and dazzling sandy shorelines, guests will have time to enjoy a refreshing ocean dip, relax along the beach, and enjoy a delicious morning tea before cruising off to the next destination of the day.


Crocodile Tour

After hitting the road again, stop and check out the unique and powerful Australian animal - the Crocodile! At a safe distance, guests will be able to see these amazing animals in their natural habitat and enjoy knowledgeable commentary from Uncle Brian's friendly guides. A North Queensland must-experience!

Rainforest Adventure

Crossing the Daintree River by ferry, guests will be able to immerse themselves in the dense ancient gullies of the Daintree Rainforest! Driving through some of the oldest sections of rainforest in the world, the faithful Gus the Bus will hit the wild side of the road for some serious rainforest adventure! After lunch, enjoy a swim amongst freshwater tropical streams before hitting the road once more. 


Beach Relaxation 

Next, guests will have some well-earned free time to soak up the tropical sun rays and relax on the glistening sands of Cape Tribulation! The only place where two World Heritage-listed destinations meet, we recommend taking an indulgent stroll and playing some beach games with new friends!

The best Cape tribbin trip I ever had!! Out tour guide Franki was really knowledgeable and helpful. I highly recommend this trip if you want to see the best cairns nature.
India Rose Long, 19 Oct 23
One of the best day trips I have done in Australia! Me and my friends went on the Uncle Brian’s Cape Tribulation and Daintree tour and we had so much fun! Brian (not the Uncle Brian) was our tour guide and he was so knowledgeable and kept everyone entertained even during the long drives. I really recommend this tour to backpackers / young couples who wish to meet fellow travellers as you will not be disappointed! Taylor from Cairns - Tours helped us book it and she found us exactly what we were looking for so thank you Taylor! I knew the tour was going to be amazing from the start! The scenic drive along the Great Barrier Reef was incredible. The tour is such good value for money, a delicious lunch included and lots of great stops in Cape Trib. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who is visiting cairns!
Benny P , 17 Oct 23
Where to begin??? What an unbelievable day out! From the moment when Brian (not the OG Uncle Brian before you ask) picked us up, his passion and love for his job was incredibly apparent, as he educated us on the surroundings and kept us laughing for the entire day. The itinerary was jam-packed but never felt rushed, with a huge variety of locations visited. We were fell fed throughout the day, with morning and afternoon snacks and an absolutely delicious burger meal for lunch. One of the most enjoyable days I've had in a long time, and I can fully understand their position as #1 in Cairns for tour operators on TripAdvisor. Will most definitely recommend to my friends. Keep doing what you're doing Brian you absolute legend
