Great ride and excellent guide

Published on Feb, 2025

Excellent guide. Very informative and friendly. We saw a giant crocodile and a mother and her nest! Feel privileged to be at the oldest forest!

Daintree here we come. River cruise - fabulous

Published on Jan, 2025

Wow - what a fabulous way to see the Daintree - crocs basking on the riverbank, tree snakes, birdlife & landscape. A totally passionate, knowledgeable guide too. Bonus - you can use the same ticket for both upper & lower Daintree river cruises.

Great experience , we saw...

Such great value and great for families!

Published on Dec, 2024

Absolutely gorgeous cruise and insightful tour guide who shared many beautiful stories about the area. We saw an alpha male croc honing in on a dead pig in the water and got to watch it fish it out of the driftwood and take it to shore to eat! It was such a privilege and the kids were so excited and happy to see something so wild!

A private tour was our destiny

Published on Dec, 2024

Great Experience! Thank you for the tour, the amazing views. We had the luck to find a crocodile swimming along the river and was MAGIC. Thank you so much for today! Very recommended :)
