Excellent tour. We were able to see several crocodiles.

Our tour guide was excellent and had a very keen eye to be able to spot not just the crocs but other wildlife too, especially the tree python and the tree snake! A bonus was seeing the ferry cross the Daintree. It was a very enjoyable trip on a larger more comfortable boat than I’d expected.

Really great experience, great family-run business :)

The river cruise was really good, we got to see both crocodiles and some snakes which was great. All of the staff there are really nice and friendly (and there was a dog to say hello to which was a nice bonus), overall really worth it, especially for the price :)

Great family business! Keep it up! Very entertaining and a well thought learning experience.

The waiting area and shop are very nice, with complimentary coffee and a nice chat to the owners. There are very friendly chickens roaming around. The cruise is fantastic, very educational and packed with science facts, and lots of stories about the river!
