Cairns Rainforest Sightseeing Tours
Waterfall tours from Cairns to the Atherton Tablelands and Cape Tribulation
Because Uncle Brian’s Tours has been sharing rainforest and waterfall experiences with amazing people for over two decades…We have found that the combination of music, food, fun and breathtaking natural history has made us who we are today. You will find that your driver is as excited to be on the tour as you will be and that they do it because they love showing off their backyard.

We did the two day one night best of both worlds tour and I honestly have nothing negative to say. It was so incredible! Our tour guide was Brian and he was so fun and knowledgeable and really looked after us, he honestly made the trip for us! It’s such good value for money for what you get, it’s jam packed and you see so much amazing nature and wildlife. You also get fed really well which isn’t always the case on tours and they cater for all food allergies/preferences. The hostel accommodation for the night is lovely as we had it all to ourselves, they did a bbq for dinner and it was really clean and homely.

An absolute banger of a tour! You will not regret booking with Uncle Brian’s Tours. We had the pleasure of Cousin Rohan and he made a ‘liquid sunshine’ (rainy) day the best day ever - full of energy and positivity. The food and snacks were incredible and so delicious. Thank you so much!

Had an amazing experience on this tour. The waterfalls were all beautiful and we had the chance to swim at all of them. Massive shoutout to our guide Tom, he absolutely made the day - so good to see people enjoying their jobs and bringing the experience to life.

One of the best day trips I’ve been on. The whole day was so well organised from pick up to drop off and we managed to pack so much fun in! We saw some huge crocs which was amazing, all the tour guides were so so friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable! Shoutout to our tour guide Will who absolutely smashed it, he mentioned it was his fourth/fifth tour but honestly you’d think it was his 100th! Sometimes the journey to these places can be long but he made it so fun by playing some games with us all and listening to music! I would 100% recommend this trip to anyone, every age will enjoy this 😊🐊!!

The best tour I've done in Australia (waterfall one). Fantastic locations, lots of freedom, lots of fun, and the best thing was the tour guide Trent. He was super super informative, really funny, he has a tune in the van for every scenario, really patient with the kids, and had loads of great snacks. The perfect Aussie tour guide!!

Best tour of falls, lake and rare animals. My family had the best experience on the tour with Tom! We saw things we never would have found on our own. Amazing falls with natural water slide! Swim behind a famous waterfall! Swimming in the bluest crater lake! Sighting of rare animals including a platypus and cassowary. I went on this tour 26 years ago as a backpacker and wanted to bring my family to experience it. Did not disappoint!

Favourite tour in Australia! I recently went with Uncle Brian’s and I’m so glad I did… Every location was beautiful and just seemed to get better and better… Even the food was the best and I’m a fussy eater… I will be recommending this tour to any friends or people I meet along my travels, thank you so much!!!!

Had the best experience! Had the best experience today, with cousin Paul!! You can tell he really loves his job! Made our trip interactive with games, sing songs, learnt all our names, and made sure we were safe at each stop. Definitely recommend booking this tour!

10/10 day trip! Highly recommend! This is a wonderful tour from Cairns to explore the Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation… The itinerary is well-paced with a mix of nature walks, a swimming spot, lunch, and scenic stops. Stunning views, especially where the rainforest meets the reef.

Best of Both Worlds two-day tour. I did the Best of Both Worlds two-day tour and it was so much fun and so thoughtfully planned. In the space of two days you see and do so much! Shout out to Tom, who made sure we had the best time and was really fun and knowledgeable. Could not recommend the tour enough.

Highlight of our trip (mom 57 + son 17). Our guide Coco was incredible—funny, caring, and always focused on safety… We saw waterfalls, rivers, lakes, a night canoe with wildlife, a crocodile river cruise, and a kangaroo rescue center. The dorm stay was clean and social, with great food… This tour is perfectly planned, full of adventure, laughter, and unforgettable memories. Highly recommend Uncle Brian’s (and ask for Coco!).

Great overnight tour! Myself and my two friends had a great experience on Uncle Brian’s Best of Both Worlds overnight tour. Beautiful waterfalls, crocodile river cruise, rainforest walk, night canoe and more. Our tour guide Brian shared plenty of knowledge and made it very enjoyable. Could not recommend more!!

Amazing 2-day adventure! Uncle Brian’s provides the perfect opportunity to discover a remote place in an adventurous way… Swimming, diving, chilling in creeks, seeing wildlife, and learning about the environment gave me a different perspective. Coco was an amazing guide with true passion… Thanks for making it possible to see cassowaries, platypuses, bats, and many other animals. I had an awesome time.
