Notes

Calm Little Boat Trip

Enjoyed the scenery and the wildlife witnessed - fresh water crocodile, ospreys, turtles and fish. Good commentary.

Relaxing river cruise

Nice river cruise, only saw one crocodile but saw fish, turtles and different birds. Lovely cruising down the river for 45 minutes.

Very dissappointing

Unfortunately it was a very boring boat trip. The driver/guide did not show us any wildlife and we left a few mins late and arrived back early. Very dissappointing.

From Kuranda Riverboat Cruise

I contacted you directly after receiving this review. Less than a week later this region was hit by a catastrophic flood which saw us unable to operate our business until July 2024. The boat skipper who wasn't doing his job correctly when you took a cruise is no longer working for our business. Apologies again for your bad experience.

Great day trip from Cairns

The trip was very well organised. The driver was very prompt and helpful. Plenty to do and see in Kuranda.
