    Nice way to end the day
    Was a last minute trip on our first day in Port Douglas. Very enjoyable and staff were informative. Drinks and niblies provided. Not a fast pace activity. Lovely way to see the river.

    What a fantastic team and true treasure of a tour
    We were late to head up to Port Douglas and had not booked. Imagine our horror to arrive and find that the midday cruise was not running! Well I can tell you this team are true professionals, when we approached them as the morning tour returned, they volunteered in a heartbeat to take us out straight away! We are so grateful, we had a fantastic tour and treasured every moment!!! The crew are professional, the tour is first rate and we had a great time. I am so impressed, thank you for making our trip up North, thank you so much!!!!!!

    New years eve river cruise
    Called at 10am for the 1030am cruise, we were accommodated straight away. Both staff members were extremely enthusiastic and entertaining especially the captain. Great commentary and a smooth trip. Saw a baby crocodile which was awesome ! Snacks and a complimentary beverage was provided also. Costing only $40 for the 1.5hr cruise is all in all worth it !

    Funny and enjoyable river cruise
    I quite enjoyed the trip. The commentary was very funny and informative which made the tour enjoyable. Great price and even includes a drink and some snacks. The seats aren’t amazingly comfy but doable for the length of the trip. It was a stinking hot day which also made it a slightly uncomfortable ride but absolutely not the fault of the company 😂 it’s just Australian summer in Far North Queensland. I think the staff definitely make this trip. We did manage to see one crocodile which topped off the trip.

    A must when visiting Port Douglas. Great value for money that most people can afford to do.
    We went on the sunset cruise and it was fantastic. Drew provided an educational but also lighthearted and funny commentary along the way. I can’t recommend this short tour highly enough. It’s a great was to see the river and learn a bit about the town. We were fortunate enough to see a couple of crocs along the way too. You are provided with a complimentary drink and some nibbles which makes this tour great value for money. All I can say is do it you won’t be disappointed.

    Fantastic, Informative, Relaxed!
    Me and my partner really really enjoyed our cruise on Lady Douglas. It was the perfect end to our Port Douglas stay. We learned a lot about local history and the local ecosystem, and the service was phenomenal. Would of course do again and recommend to our friends visiting Port Douglas!

    Great afternoon outing
    We loved our outing on the Lady Douglas today. We saw some crocodiles in their native environment and the commentary was most entertaining. Great tour to do early in your stay in Port Douglas as you learn so much about the local restaurants and area.

It was our last day in Port Douglas before flying back to the Uk tomorrow.
I cannot thank everyone concerned enough for our wonderful river trip in Port Douglas today.
The commentary was exemplary with lots of details of interest and lighthearted amusing banter.
The two young lady staff members greeted us with a friendly smile and complementary drinks and snack. Spoke to us and even offered to take photos for us all.
We saw a Crocodile sleeping on the bank side.
It was well the very reasonable cost.
An absolutely highly recommended five star trip.

We were really pleased we went in this cruise. We saw three crocodiles in the wild, which was very impressive and slightly scary if you hadn’t taken the warning signs about crocodiles seriously. The free beverage and little snacks were a nice touch. The commentary was informative. This is a peaceful little cruise with really nice people operating it. Definitely good value for money.

We went on the Lady Douglas afternoon cruise and had a great time. It lasts for 1 and 1/2 hours and you receive a beverage and snack of biscuits, cheese, hummus and carrot sticks. We cruised up and down the river which was super relaxing. We also saw 5 crocodiles, some very up close and personal! The captain was really interesting as he knew lots about the mangroves and the natural environment.
I cannot recommend the Lady Douglas, and the Shaolin. Both give you different experiences of sailing in Port Douglas.

What a great way to spend an afternoon - relaxing boat journey, great staff and a drink with food included. The best way to see the river.
The commentary was informative, the sights, sounds and smells were very memorable. It was an all round very good thing to do and highly recommended.
