Lots of different swim spots, cool waterfall and plenty of time at each place. Plenty of food along the way and the guide was really entertaining, and informative.

The tour itself was great. The guide was knowledgable and friendly. My main two issues were that when booking through Viator, the pickup spot does not show - it shows your hotel you are staying at. We waited outside the selected hotel and then received a call from the guide saying he does not do hotel pickups but there are 5 different pick up spots. We were not aware of this at all. I also did message through Viator the day prior to ask about and confirm our pick up location but did not receive a reply. Hence, the confusion on the day. Also, we did not visit Josephine Falls despite it being advertised on the tour itinerary. The tour guide was very keen to return to Cairns very quickly (we returned at 5:30pm despite the tour being advertised as a 7:30pm return). The guide said we likely would not be able to swim at Josephine Falls due to the high waters being a risk. The guide then took a poll to see who would still like to visit and there was around a 50/50 vote. The guide then said no we will not go visit it and quite a few people were disappointed. The places we visited were great but I felt at times the tour was rushed and the guide complained a lot about how we were running behind but then would tell extended stories at certain locations.

A big thanks to Paul ( aka cousin Paul!) He was a lovely man and an amazing tour guide- knowledgable but fun! It’s hard to keep all 16 of us entertained for the whole day but he did a fab job. We all had such a great time and can’t thank him enough :)

I had such a fun day with Mike’s tour. He was such a lovely guy and went above and beyond to make our trip very enjoyable. I was solo but met loads of people my age. The food and snack were also amazing. All in all would highly recommend

We loved this tour. Our guide Paul was absolutely incredible with the energy, information, and planning for a successful day. Each stop/swim was unique and had individual characteristics that nothing felt repeated. The tour DEFINITELY is active and one where if you’re not at least an intermediate swimmer I’d not book. However, that made for a nice change of pace from the more info-driven leisure tours we did in Cairns. Me and my partner are in ours 30s and we were probably the oldest in our group for the demo that this probably appeals to normally, but still had a wonderful time. Also, double check your pick-up info. There was a mishap with ours where what Viator has listed and their info contradicted that started the day off with some confusion.

Uncle Brian’s day trip was absolutely sensational. Our driver was really knowledgeable, funny, and incredibly accommodating. I loved every second of it. I would highly recommend this trip with this company to anyone. Made memories for a lifetime. The atmosphere was so comfortable and welcoming I thoroughly enjoyed it. Crowd not too big. Worth every penny. Thank you Uncle Brian’s!!!
