Dominant male croc made an appearance - Very knowledgeable guide who knew the river, and croc behaviour, like the back of his hand. We were treated to a full view of the dominant male croc who decided to sun himself on the riverbed (and apparantly hasn't done so in 3 weeks). For a tour completely beholden to which animals decide to show themselves, and in high tide at the time - we did very well. Plus a nice boat trip up the river and back!

Great day out - We drove from Port Douglas. Good roads with not much traffic. Pleasant welcome including coffee or iced tea. Craig was our skipper and guide. He was very knowledgeable and we saw quite a few crocs. All up a great day out.

Awesome Experience - This was a great tour and a great location. The check in area has heaps of information about the local area and the staff were very friendly. On the tour the guide is clearly very knowledgeable and gave heaps of information , not just on the crocs but the area and other wildlife too. The operator was respectful of the crocs and we got close to multiple crocs and I loved the way he would turn the boat around so both sides of the boat could see. The boat itself was small so made for good viewing and not overcrowded. I would highly recommend this trip.

Excellent experience - Friendly, knowledgeable and lovely team who helped make the experience from arrival to the cruise itself really interesting. We mightn't have seen some of the bigger crocs, but we did see two extremely rare birds! Thank you!

Worthwhile crocodile cruise - We went on the 11 am cruise in September. It was raining hard while we were waiting, then luckily stopped just as we boarded. This was good luck for us, as apparently crocodiles don't like the rain and cold weather and stay in the water. We saw several smaller juveniles and one humungous crocodile that was 75 years old. Our guide pointed out several bird species and a couple of snakes in the trees. We enjoyed this tour and would recommend this company for an informative cruise on the Daintree River.

Was very unhappy with the... - Was very unhappy with the fact we paid for an 60 to 90 minute Experience Cruise and the cruise didn't even go for 60 minutes I understand that there wasn't much to see on the day but should the cruise still should of went longer
