Summary: Een leuke trip vol humor en avontuur. Het is vanuit Cairns een lange reis naar Cape Tribulation, maar er veel te zien vanuit de bus, er is genoeg entertainment van reisleider Brian en er zijn genoeg stops tussendoor. De highlight was de krokodillen tour en wandeling door het regenwoud. To Brian, if you are reading this, you indeed are a professional idiot, but we enjoyed every bit of it. We were lucky to have our prime seats right behind you. 😉

Summary: We loved our experience on Uncle Brian’s tour. Sam was knowledgeable and welcoming - the perfect tour guide. The day was action packed we felt we couldn’t have packed anything else in. The rainforest was breathtaking, a place you cannot miss when in Cairns.

Summary: Bit of a late review but we had an amazing time with Uncle Brian’s tours in September. Our tour guide Rachel was very informative and was great at getting everyone involved and having a good time. We met loads of great people - would definitely recommend! The itinerary was packed but didn’t feel too much either.
