Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I had an amazing day on this trip! Cousin Pauly was amazing and made me feel very comfortable. As a plus size person, this was one of the first things I've done in a long time in which my weight wasn't even a thought or issue. (300lbs ish for reference) He is clear about which activities were best for strong swimmers/ non swimmers and communicated well throughout. It created a lovely atmosphere where we all helped each other to climb up waterfalls and slippery rocks.
With that said, be aware that some waterfalls did involve some climbing over rocks. I managed with a pretty low level of fitness but it's something to bear in mind for mobility. Luckily, we seemed to get to each waterfall at the perfect time when there were barely any people there and they would get busy as we were leaving.
We even saw a platypus as we were swimming at the first stop and Pauly picked me some passion fruits (which were some of the best I've ever had) after I had mentioned how cheap I was with food!
And apologies, I meant to write this ages ago!

Had the best day with friends on this tour! Our tour guide Matt brought the energy and great vibes. From start to finish everyone was really involved and having a great time! Best day in Cairns we’ve all had, the games were hilarious and the constant stream of bangers made the trip extra fun. Loved the slide at Josephine falls and the lake swim! Thank you for a great day :))

We had such a great day on the Cape Trib tour. Seizar was such a great tour guide - he had so much local knowledge and was such good fun (and had a great playlist for the bus) 10/10 recommend!

We booked the Cape Tribulation tour, which happened to be Mel’s first tour. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide! She made everyone feel at ease with eachother, provided us all with some laughs and gave us all so much interesting information throughout the day- she also gave us an extra insight into life in and around Daintree, having grown up in the area herself.
Would thoroughly recommend this tour!
Thanks again for the memories Mel!
Cheers Tom and Jade x

Possibly the smoothest and most organised tour we’ve ever done. Start to finish was perfectly planned even with a playlist set to the surroundings/location of the tour. Food was great. Defo recommend doing the best of both worlds, great value for money. TJ was a great tour guide too!

One of the best experiences ever! As an Aussie, I couldn't recommend this enough to anyone with a sense of adventure and a passion for exploring nature. This day was made especially incredible thanks to our tour guide JAMIE!!! Her sense of humour, knowledge, and genuine care for everyone on the bus was excellent.

We had a great day at the rainforest and beach, good music, games, vibes and delicious food, especially loved the crocodile cruise would recommend the tour to everyone, thanks Caesar for being a great tour guide 😀
It was a bit of a long drive though and the swimming hole was a bit small and leavy, not my favourite one. Bus has been very comfortable.

Hey, has anyone been on the 2 day tour "best of both world" that departs every wednesday? If so would you recommend? I have a hard time deciding between all the options: the fun falls tour / 1/2day cape tribulation tour or the combination tour

The 2 day tour is absolutely what it says ....Best of Both....you stay with the same group rather than having to drive more and meet a whole bunch of other people...
Can it be enjoyed by 5 year old kids?

Does Uncle Brian himself come along on any of the tours?
I went on one in Cairns back in November '95- I loved every minute!
I'll be celebrating my 50th birthday this April and planning to an Uncle Brians tour with my partner and 5 year old daughter and would just love them to meet my old mate Brian 😊..
Fond regards

Uncle Brian does not come on the tours anymore as he has made a move to be with his family. (Per the info given at the beginning of the tour I just took a couple weeks ago) The cousins run the tours now, and they are great!! (I went on two different experiences, with two different guides)
Are crocodile sightings common on this tour?

Hi Can you give me the cost and availability of this attraction
Thanks :)
It was around 120 AUD per person
Hey guys, I know we are late but we booked a tour with you for tomorrow (via STA) and we are unsure where we will start the tour? Where is the leaving point? Since our accommodation is in Holloways Beach and we were told you cannot pick us up here so we should come to Cairns Central...thank you very much! Sina and Larissa
