Your next stop is a spine-tingling crocodile cruise! Tropical North Queensland is known for its healthy population of massive saltwater crocodiles, and a river cruise is the best way to spot these mighty reptiles in the wild. Drift down the tranquil rainforest river and watch majestic saltwater crocodiles swim, sunbathe, and relax in their natural habitat. Learn about these unique, ancient creatures from your local guide and gain a new appreciation for the flora and fauna of the Daintree Rainforest.

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

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!
