1 hour Daintree River wildlife and crocodile cruise on the only solar electric boat on the Daintree river. The boat it is nice and quiet and there are no petrol fumes or exhaust , it is also good for getting close to the wildlife without disturbing it. We aim to treat this fragile ecosystem with respect and have minimal impact, our boat does not create a wake so we do not erode the mangroves. We are the only boat with "Croc Cam"; a digital video with a very good zoom for showing hard to see animals on a big screen. Wildlife includes Salt Water Crocodiles, snakes, frogs, and birds and also interpretation of the mangrove environment. The business is locally family owned and operated and has been going since 2002.

Very nice and informative tour, we saw many different crocodiles along the river bed and also swimming in the water alongside the boat. Our guide had a lot of interesting facts to tell about the crocs and made the tour very entertaining!

Guide was very knowledgeable. You get so close to crocodiles. So much better in the wild rather than a zoo.
