Crocs in the Rain - Great experience on the Daintree River spotting crocodiles. Alan, our guide told us lots about crocs, their habitat and behaviours as well as some information about some of the birds we saw. The cruise was the perfect length. Would do again!

Saw a baby croc!!!! - Great cruise! Not the best time of year due to the heat for seeing the big crocs but still incredibly interesting and we were pleased we did it. Managed to spot a hatchling (1 year old) crocodile! It was all that was needed to make it a great trip! Want to return in winter to try and catch a glimpse of Scarface!!!! Highly recommend

Safety, delays and cost - The cruise itself was fine, but our experience was overshadowed by a serious issue with the return transport recommended by the Centre. We were referred to a driver who arrived with only three working seatbelts, despite there being four passengers, including two children (as advised to the Cebtre and driver). One seatbelt was not functional, and the driver began the journey regardless. We asked to stop shortly after and were dropped at a nearby service station. Despite the unsafe situation, we were charged $60 for a 5 minute drive and left stranded for over an hour, eventually paying $250 for an alternative shuttle. This was stressful, unsafe, and added significant unexpected cost. The Centre should review the transport providers they recommend.
