Well run tour - Well run tour. Unfortunately we picked the wrong season to see crocs and too early in the day for the crocs. We did manage to see 3 baby crocs

Great boat tour - highly recommend - Dave drove the boat and gave a very informative and interesting commentary. We saw baby crocodile 🐊 and a large female. He also told local stories, history and facts about other wildlife life. It was really nice to sit on the boat and learn all the ecology. I'd highly recommend this boat tour. He is passionate about the area and conservation of the crocs.

Great tour and amazing guide - highly recommend - This was a great tour. Even though it wasn't the best time of year to see big crocs, we still had a great time and were so happy we did it. It's an amazing way to see the Daintree in a different way. The real highlight for us was the genuine passion the tour guide had, talking about wildlife (even beyond crocodiles), the local environment, and funny anecdotes. We felt like left having learned something and appreciated the amazing Daintree area more deeply than before.

100% recommend! - Absolutely incredible! We saw 4 crocs, 2 babies, one large female and one large male! It was an amazing experience, our guide was super welcoming and knowledgeable. The smaller boat definitely makes for a positive experience with more room to look on each side with no obstructions.

Wonderful! - Our guide was phenomenal. He has been guiding on the Daintree for almost 30 years and knows each croc by name and behavior. He also spotted birds and frogs for us. Loved the electric boat!

Enthusiastic guide. Great experience. - Our enthusiastic guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. He got us very close to 3 large adult crocs and 2 young ones. He was so enthusiastic, he ran over time. Comfortable flat bottomed metal boat with shaded cover.
