The boat was clean and comfortable, and our guide was very knowledgable and friendly. We saw two very large crocs, a nice sized female, and a baby. It was nice to learn so many croc facts and you can tell this operator really cares about the Daintree and the wellbeing of the crocs.

Our guide was fantastic and funny. He knows a lot about crocodiles, and about the other animals and nature that we can meet along the river. We had the chance to see 5 crocodiles, even though the weather wasn’t so good. And our guide explained a lot of things about their way of life. It was very interesting. In 3 words : it was perfect. Thank you for your warm welcoming.

We had an incredible tour down the river and saw a number of crocs, including the largest one I've ever seen (around 4.5 meters). Our guide had in-depth knowledge about the animals and the surrounding nature. Greatly appreciated that their boat runs on electricity. Highly recommended!

We saw 3 crocs on our tour. One was called Scarface. Bring a poncho in case it rains. The guide was patient and made sure everyone saw the crocodiles.

Highlight of our trip. We were impressed with every aspect of the tour, from the interesting facts about the animals, to the equipment enabling you to get the best experience out of the hour.
We were lucky to see a couple of large crocs, but it was also the background stories about the animals, the info about the area that was an added bonus, eg the sugar cane fields, the ferns on the trees. Travelling from the UK it was all new to us.
We saw a few interesting animals, snakes and frogs, and it was made easier to see with green laser lights and also the onboard video camera and screen.
It was lovely to hear the passion of the guide for the wildlife and protecting the habitat.

Absolutely fantastic experience!
Our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly and he knew exactly where to look for crocs. We saw 3 different crocs and they were so close.
The boat was comfortable and the group was small so everyone could see. Highly recommended. A++

This is one of the must do things in the Daintree area. All the staff were really friendly and the guides were knowledgeable. We had several tours most of which were with Marc, who was fascinating to listen to, and was clearly very passionate about wildlife and croc conservation, which is always reassuring when doing any kind of wildlife tour.
You have to be prepared for the fact this is tour is trying to view wild animals in their natural habitat so there's no guaranteed sightings . Our first tour we only saw juveniles, but we still saw tree snakes and plenty of bird life. Luckily we had booked several more tours and managed to see large female salt water crocodiles as well as a big scrub python.
The boats are arranged so everyone is sitting on one side so there's no need to scramble for a seat nearest the water. Being a photography amateur enthusiast, the great thing about this tour for me is that the operators are keen photographers themselves. Marc was great at ensuring I had good lines of sight and enough time to get shots of everything.
These guys are doing genuinely great work in helping local wildlife, and championing the cause of crocodiles.
