About This Tour

Start your day with a cruise on the mighty Daintree river.  This 2 hour cruise takes you on journey of discovery exploring the main river and its tributaries in search of iconic wildlife including highly sought-after birds (kingfishers, herons, egrets, frogmouth amongst others) as well as crocodiles & snakes.  The dawn cruise showcases the river at is most picturesque and serene as the boat travels along the smooth waters of the Daintree river. Cruises cater for a maximum of just 10 passengers (with a minimum age of 6 yrs old) and are customised to the interests of the passengers. The boat used is a unique ‘hybrid’ vessel utilising both a regular outboard & an incredible electric motor which creates less disturbance enabling outstanding views of wildlife. Cruises start & finish at the public boat ramp in Daintree Village. Transfers are NOT possible. Daintree Village is 45 mins from Port Douglas; more than an hour from Cape Tribulation. There is no public transport to this location.
