5.00We had a very enjoyable and informative cruise with our guide Brad, who maneuvered close to a number of crocodiles ranging in sizes from 2026 and 2025 babies to 5 footers or near named Lumpy and Scarface. Lunch of a sausage roll and a drink were included.

5.00When you arrive you check in at the reception area. Toilets are also available here. Tea, coffee and slushies were included in admission at reception. When the tour was ready to start they lead you down to the boats. It was a short walk. Great tour to see crocs in their natural habitat. Tour guide Brad was very informative and all the staff were friendly and made it feel like a real genuine experience. We did the 12pm tour which I think was a good time as the guides had been out for the day already and were able to go back to where they had sited crocs earlier in the day to make sure you saw as many as possible on the hour cruise. We saw several crocs including a few babies. Highly recommend checking this one out if you’re in the area and wanting to see crocs in their natural habitat.
Highly recommend

3.00Talk about the future not what was done in the past . Keep politics out of it ..I did not like the way the presenter was blaming the English for the past .
Fun and Easy Tour

5.00We had a great time cruising the Daintree and spotting Crocs. Friendly and knowledgeable guide. We only saw one adult croc but that was due to the time of year we chose to travel. I’m sure many more crocs saw us!!
