5.00We had a great cruise, saw several juvenile crocodiles as well as Lumpy, a 4.7m long 900kg long term resident of the river. Chris, our guide was very knowledgeable, making our cruise highly informative, as well as enjoyable. Highly recommended.

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!!
Excellent boat ride for the whole family

5.00Great experience. Our guide, Ray, was very informative and witty. Our young one enjoyed the boat trip also. We were lucky to see a few crocs despite heavy rain.
See crocodiles in their natural state.

5.00We had gone to the Daintree forest to take a route and bathe. We had to wait about 15 minutes for the bus that gets you and saves you a hot 45 minute walk. During the wait at the visitor center we asked if you could take a boat tour along the river to see crocodiles. They suggested this company. From there, using our Telstra SIM we did the entire booking process. We finished our route, took the car and the directions were very precise: we arrived perfect and with time margin. On the boat we were about 20 people, with views in all directions. We saw big, small crocodiles, young, swimming in the river and climbing onto a platform. Magnificent experience; also, at the end it was included or refreshed with comisa and drink. There we discovered Bundaberg lemonade. I recommend this crocodile sighting with complete confidence.
