If you don’t have your own set of wheels and basic bush know-how, then you might not fancy venturing into the world’s oldest living rainforest solo. Uncle Brian’s Cape Tribulation Adventure is the perfect solution. This action-packed day tour takes you deep into the Daintree Rainforest to explore prehistoric habitats, home to saltwater crocs and giant cassowaries. You won’t find a better place in Australia to spot them. Get yourself a few pics along the way, but don’t lean over the boat, as you might find yourself on the menu.
Uncle Brian’s tours are renowned in Far North Queensland, led by passionate guides eager to show you their backyard. Expect to swim, hike, and explore the Daintree. With lunch and snacks included, you’ll leave with great memories, photos, and a few new friends.

Such an epic day - wildlife, swimming, rainforests. Great guides too. We had a great time.
I did this part of our east coast trip and was a great end to the trip. Its a big day and full of so many activities and sights that you don\'t really get if you do on your own.
I would recommend this tour. We did it as a group from our Hostel and had an amazing time and really good guide.
Just got back from the Daintree tour and wow, it was absolutely incredible! Our guide knew everything about the rainforest and we even spotted a croc sunbaking by the river,definitely booking with them again next time we're up north
Best day trip ever - the Daintree tour was amazing and our guide made it so fun with all his stories about the local wildlife!
Great time on this trip. The crocs were so wild. We were almost too scared to swim. Definitly recommend
Did the Daintree tour yesterday and it totally exceeded expectations, saw so much wildlife and the guide was hilarious!
We'd love to know how your experience was! Share your thoughts with us and enjoy a special gift!
