Daintree River Cruise Centre

Good boats, friendly staff, and number of crocodiles we spotted and got close too didn't disappoint. Also saw a snake and a very pretty kingfisher. We came here as part of organised bus tour. You may want to book on advance.

Absolutely spectacular! The river is beautiful, saw a few crocs. The boat is sturdy and clean. The company sends you a packing list but have pretty much everything for sale there too (rain ponchos, refillable water bottle, insect repellent, caps). Definitely need bug spray, mostly for the reception area; not too many bugs on the river. Reason I booked it was because it is "dog friendly". My boy had a blast! Make sure to bug spray them too. And let the company know in advance if you plan to bring your doggo; they do have other free roaming dogs on the property.

We saw a croc basically 3 minutes into the cruise, and a many more after that. Nice airy boat and chill friendly vibe. Also, they went out of their way to mail me my lost property afterwards, which I really appreciate!!

Great cruise. Saw lots of crocs, very big and very small. Cruise operator was knowledgeable and funny without being cheesy. Wasn’t quite an hour long due to needing to get back to the dock for other customers. Maybe should be advertised as 45 min cruise.

The cruise was great. The staff were friendly and full of interesting information. The moved to boat around so we could all takes pictures of the crocodiles. Thanks

It was a wonderful experience, with our guide, Neil, skilfully manoeuvring the boat so that everyone could see the sun bathing crocs, several female ones, a big make and a couple of croc kids. Neil is very well versed in croc life on the river and told us a few interesting stories and answered quite a few questions! Thank you, Neil!

A good experience, if a little wet underfoot! Saw a crocodile or 2. Patient boat operator. Saw a snake in a tree too!!

We had a great cruise! The guide was informative and we saw a few crocs up nice and close! Highly recommend. Thanks for a great experience.

No trip to the Daintree is complete without a river cruise in search for the illusive crocodiles. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating details about the local ecosystem. We didn't see any croc. Sad day. Did you know that the Daintree River is home to over 30 species of mangroves, some of which are among the most diverse in the world? Did you know crocodiles are ancient reptiles that have been around for nearly 200 million years!

Hmmmmm . . . . .maybe I was expecting more from this but it seemed just okay to me. You board a boat and for an hour it goes along the Daintree River. You might see a crocodile or two but then again you may not. It's really the luck of Mother Nature. On my trip, as we were docking, a croc came by and opened up one baleful eye at us and then disappeared under the water again. But that was pretty much all we saw. I was hoping for some beautiful flowering trees, birds, something? Anything? The guide was friendly and interesting. And given our boat was pretty empty you could walk around and stand out on the bow of the boat for a better look I guess I was just expecting to see more. But then again, it's not a Disney ride but Mother Nature so you get what she gives that day. Oh well. It was a nice day for a boat ride.

A beautiful spot on the river with a lovely garden and really cool insect display. The guides are fun and knowledgeable; they are good with kids and manage to find even the smallest baby crocs.

It's an hour cruise down the daintree river for $28 a head. In the dry season, the crocs are all lying on the banks sunning themselves so luckily you'll see them but don't expect to see much action. Our guide was friendly and jokey, although he didn't seem to know many facts about the crocs. We definitely advise wearing insect repellant on this cruise as we were covered with awfully itchy bites from biting midges once we got off.

Every time I visit far north Queensland I make sure I visit the wonderful people at the Daintree River Cruise Centre. Staff are knowledgeable and well organised and the scenery spectacular. Great for children and adults... you may even get to pat a green tree frog!

After 10 years living in the area I had never taken a boat tour of the majestic Daintree River. Last school holiday while trying to keep the little ones entertained we did just that. Was so happy we chose The Daintree River Cruise Centre. We saw unique flora and fauna, species of mangroves and orchids I had never seen before. We also saw beautiful birds and had a green tree frog on the boat. The kids were in awe with Crocs, they were so close. It was amazing to see them in their natural environment. We were lucky enough to see Scarface, the big boss of the river. Our boat driver/tour guide was both knowledgeable and friendly and the ladies in the shop provided refreshments to all the guests.The kids and I loved the experience. I would defiantly recommend it to both locals and visitors.

Went on a 1 hour river cruise to kill the time while we waited to check in to our hotel in Port Douglas. A ride was 25 Dollars. The scenery is magnificent. Spotted a baby croc!!! As it was summer the cross spend a lot of time on top of the water. Guide Nick was knowledgeable and fun. Boat experience was awesome quite rugged at one point we ran into some foliage and a nest of green ants fell off and landed on me. One them bit me before I realized they were on me and the rest of the passengers started whacking them off while my husband laughed. Don't worry they didn't hurt too much. Our guide told us you could eat there bums and they tastes like lemon so in return for laughing I made my husband eat ant bum :). All in all a great trip and a nice quick way to experience some of the rainforest if you don't have a lot of time.
