Excellent tour and guide. Definitely the pick on the Daintree - Our guide Ray was full of the river/crocodile information. We saw a mother croc protecting her nest and a 2year old…think they may have been called Bruce. Top tour, and guide. Would recommend lunch tour which includes delicious pastries.

Fantastic family run cruise and we look forward to returning! - We had the most amazing and relaxing cruise - this was the first time my sister who has lived in Mossman all her life had been on a cruise. Even though this is not the peak season we got to see three crocodiles, two adults and one juvenile. Brad, our guide, was very obliging and ensured we got as close to the wildlife as possible. We also spotted a great-billed heron which bird watchers from all over the world come to see, lots of bats, as well as a male and female shining flycatcher. The absolute highlight of the cruise was seeing the azure kingfisher and thanks to Brad getting the boat so close I was able to capture amazing photos. It was wonderful to meet Bruce when we arrived back at the wharf. Everyone looked after us. A special mention to Bruce's lovely wife Zona as when she found out I had booked online and had paid full price ensured I received the locals rate and refunded the difference. I enjoyed spending some of this money in the well-stocked gift shop. We especially enjoyed the refreshments afterwards at this beautiful location. My sister and I loved every minute of this cruise and look forward to returning during the winter months for more bird and croc spotting!

Spotting a crocodile 🐊 - Spotted 3 different sizes of crocodile. The tour guide will frustrate themselves to find crocs. We joined the noon time cruise and we got a complementary lunch the sausage roll was amazing freshly baked along with a drinks.great getaway.

Getting Lucky with Scarface the Crocodile - We booked it in the last minute because we weren't sure of what to do in the area and it was nice. A calm journey through the river looking at the birds and the plants. We were lucky enough to also see a crocodile (Scarface) since during this period of the year it gets harder to see them (since the water is hot, they don't need to go out to warm themselves). If your objective in taking this tour is to see crocodiles, be aware of the season to be sure that it is a good season to actually see them. It was clear that the guide tried using his knowledge to take us to places where we could see crocodiles and give us the best experience. He answered all our questions, and gave us interesting information during the whole trip.
