A variety of sightings on this cruise.

We went on the 2:30pm Cruise last week. Very friendly staff and guide. We managed to see a very large Alpha Croc on the river bank, a baby croc plus birds and a snake. My tip would be to try and go earlier in the day up to midday when you are likely to see more Crocs active.

Our favourite part of Daintree

Our favourite thing in the daintree rainforest! We got to see some crocodiles up close in the river and our guide was brilliant at spotting all the wildlife.

Crocodiles tour

Tour was poor only sited 2 x crocodiles and there was very little commentary by the operator. Bad day for sightings by all operators our operator did spend a lot of time searching different areas. He even went overtime for us to get a chance to see the second crocodile.
