Murray was brilliant. He was very knowledgable about the river and its fauna and flora and went out of his way to ensure every bird and animal found was seen clearly and easily photographed. A big advantage, however, was the small size of the boat and the number of guests. This allowed Murray to get the boat quite a long way along a small side creek away from the main river and the hustle and bustle of larger, busier vessels. This also ensured that there was little noise to spook the animals and birds. A great tour Murray. Thanks very much.

Extraordinary experience with Murray on a private morning tour cruising the daintree river. Saw about 5 crocodiles during cruise including Lumpie a appr. 4m croc, tree snake, water dragons and a variety of birds! Thanks to the Daintree Boatman Murray! Melanie & Ralf

Excellent opportunity to view birds, snakes, and the tropical river environment complete with low cloud and mist - such an essential element of the tropical environment. Murray’s boat is well set up for highly personalised small group tours and he adapts the tour to align with guests interests rather than follow a pre - set itinerary. As a result he often runs the trip a bit longer than scheduled if he has found something of real interest late in the tour. The electric auxiliary motor is brilliant for quietly sneaking up the narrow tributary streams where there’s better chances of finding wildlife. This was a repeat trip for us after a gap of a few years and both tours were great for bird photography - no hesitation in recommending the Daintree Boatman trip (particularly the dawn tour) to anyone interested in viewing or photographing tropical riverine birds and possibly the (non - venomous) tree snakes. Murray is a great host and guide with broad knowledge of the river, the environment and the wildlife. Because he spends so much time on the river he was able to take us to a spot where he has previously seen Azure kingfishers, and after a short wait and search, there they were for us! Brilliant!
