    A very nice gentle cruise up, down & around the river with a very informative & funny captain & his lovely assistants. Looking at both the mangroves & looking out for crocs & our captain knew exactly where to look & was very knowledgeable & informative about them. All very good

    Commentator was very informative adding a dash of humour. Unfortunately did not see any crocs as not the best time of year. It would have been good to inform of that before purchasing tickets. Snack was ok but only one little bowl to share between two people . Over all ok experience

    A relaxing cruise, starting off well with drinks and nibbles. Captain was excellent in sharing his knowledge of Port Douglas , crocs and everything imbetween. Got close up and great pics of 1 good sized croc.

    We had so much fun on this “time-filler” cruise. We had some time to kill. My husband loved the boat so we booked and it was an incredible surprise. The Cpt was funny and gregarious. His first mate Tia was sweet and professional and made sure we were well taken care of. We wanted to see crocs and were not disappointed as we saw 5!!! The history and stories were fun and we learned a lot too. So glad we took this little trip. Highly recommend and it saved us from doing a Daintree or Hartleya croc adventure as we saw them in their natural enviro!
