5.00Easy to get too, Amenities clean & tidy, staff were friendly & knowledgeable. A nice relaxing morning activity. Only downfall, booking through an 3rd party booking system our booking was missed. Luckily, it was on one of the quieter sessions - so if you book be sure to confirm your booking
Sit back and take it all in.

5.00A leisurely afternoon cruise to finish off the day. My party of 4 enjoyed the afternoon cruise. We we shown 4 of the local crocodiles. We also saw some other wildlife, including a kingfisher and a heron. Stories of the Daintree were told and lots of localised information was also shared making it a wonderful afternoon.
Great cruise
