We just returned from a tour of the Daintree region, and must say that our trip with Dan was one of the highlights. Some of the customer service we received in North QLD was average to say the least, but I can happily say that Dan Irby knows how to run a tour! The boat is small, which makes the... More

Dan's evening tour was highly recommended by our accomodation hosts and didn't disappoint. Dan had a really knowledgable but relaxed feel as he moved us up and down the Daintree River. The evening your started about 1 hr before sunset and continued till after dark. We saw a range of Crocidiles (big & small) as well as a lot of... More

Today we went on a 2 hour boat ride along the Daintree with Dan Irby's Mangrove Adventures. We didn't think it was going to be the normal croc and river ride and we were not disappointed! Dan had a surprise waiting for us and so as not to spoil it for anyone thinking of doing this tour I won't say... More

We took this tour in order to spot some crocodiles in the wild. And we did spot 1 big crocodile and 2 small ones! In addition, Dan Irby proved to be a great guide explaining about different species of fauna here. Great tour, great memories! More

This was one of the highlights of our stay in the Daintree rain forest. Dan was very friendly and knowledgeable and we had a magical evening trip up the river. When he realised that two of the party were keen photographers he took time and trouble to make sure they got the photos they wanted. Its amazing how Dan can... More

When my husband booked and told me what we would be doing at sunset at the hottest time if the year in the Daintree I was a bit concerned as I am one of those people who gets eaten by mozzies more than most. I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of mosquitoes out on the water and sat back... More

I joined Dan with a couple of friends for his dusk tour in early January. It's a beautiful setting and Dan has just about every bit of information worth knowing about the area (if you look for it you can't miss seeing a book written by him somewhere in Daintree). Dan is a total gentleman and you can tell he... More

If you are looking for a tour of the Daintree River that feels personal and where you are not just part of the crowd like the other big tour boats in the region then Dan's Mangrove Adventures is for you! We did the sunset tour and it was a beautiful time of the twilight to be out on the river.... More

Dan Irby is knowledgeable and takes care to ensure that his customers enjoy their trip. He points out a number of interesting findings that would be missed in a less personal tour setting. We saw crocs, birds of all varieties, and learned about all manner of flora. Great tour. My wife & I went with our two adult children and... More
