Our early-morning bird watching cruise with Andy was outstanding. We saw many birds that were new to us, including some rare ones, and Andy worked hard at finding them. He was very familiar with the river and was able to take us directly to interesting sights such as a tree snake in a hollow log. He listened to what we... More

My family, including two young daughters went on the sunrise boat tour with Andy this August to go birding. Everything was great! He really took us to special, private places where we saw lots of birds, including many kingfishers. It was just perfect in so many ways. His enthusiasm for the river and the birds and his knowledge made it... More

Small group. Ideal type of boat for sightseeing. Very friendly atmosphere generated by Andy, who was an excellent boat handler. He also had extensive wildlife knowledge. This made our trip very interesting. Saw many types of birds, shrubs, trees, mangroves, flowers, nuts, a tree python up close (1 metre away), and of course many Saltwater crocs. Take a good camera.

We did both an early morning and a late afternoon cruise, and enjoyed each. The morning cruise focused more on birdwatching, and we saw quite a few species. Our guide was amazing at spotting birds and getting the boat up close to many of them. The afternoon cruised focused more on crocs, and we saw many of varied sizes. Seeing... More

Hi to everybody coming to the Daintree! We did a sunset cruise a few days ago and were amazed by the tranquile atmosphere on the river at sunset. The perfect light to take photographs. The launching place a Barratt Creek is a beautiful spot just on its own. When we started the cruise we were not sure about the weather... More
