A late afternoon cruise finishing at sunset is the perfect way to finish your Daintree Rainforest experience. Floating on the water, enjoying the late afternoon light, watching wildlife foraging before sunset, often with a multitude of egrets flying home to roost for the night, there are few better places to be than out on the Daintree River. Highly sought-after birds (kingfishers, herons, frogmouth among others) as well as saltwater crocodiles and snakes are seen on most cruises. Cruises cater for a maximum of just 10 passengers and are customised to the interests of the passengers. The boat used is a unique ‘hybrid’ vessel utilising both a regular outboard and an incredible electric motor which creates less disturbance enabling outstanding views of wildlife. Cruises start and finish at the public boat ramp in Daintree Village. Daintree Village is 45 mins from Port Douglas and located on the south-side of the Daintree River.

This river cruise was just amazing. We were on a small boat with only 8 other people. Our guide was so knowledgeable about the river, the land, the history, the people and the ecology. It made me feel like I was on an episode with David Attenborough. We saw three Crocs, and plenty of birds, some interesting flora. I really appreciated our guide’s respectful inclusion of some contemporary and historical context of the Indigenous peoples and their relationship to the land. This was very important for me to hear. Overall a highlight of my trip to Australia.

We enjoyed the entire experience, but the highlight for my family was seeing Salt Water Crocodiles in their natural habitat along with Murray’s interpretation of their behavior. Murray booked us on short notice, and gave us a memorable river trip.

We thoroughly enjoyed our river cruise with Murray. He is very skilled at locating wildlife along the banks of the Daintree! He takes his job very seriously in order to ensure a pleasant ride by all! Would highly recommend!
