Highly recommended crocodile spotting trip - Although it wasn't the best time of the year to see crocs, we did manage to see a few babies and the infamous Scooter. Dave our guide was superb. Really knowledgeable and amusing. Great trip and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Honestly the best tour we’ve been on in Oz - thank you! - What an absolutely brilliant tour! We knew we would be lucky to spot any big crocs before we booked the tour, and our guide told us as much when we got on the boat, but we saw about four or five little crocs along the river edge, some bright green tree frogs, incredibly beautiful birds… then we got super lucky and saw Scarface the big male croc! Our guide, who was so in tune with the local wildlife and very respectful of the whole ecosystem there, took the boat alongside Scarface for enough time that everyone got a good look. We booked this tour as the tide was about three hours into low tide at 2:30pm, which apparently might’ve helped us get lucky at this time of year.

Wildlife documentary experience - David White is a great guide. It was a great day. Saw a large female croc and two babies. Also an Azure Kingfisher, Little Herons, and multiple other birds. Also saw Ben the Bull who is stranded on the island. Didnt see any big male crocs - better luck next time. David White has a voice like a TV Wildlife Documentary and a good sense of humour. The boat is indeed very quiet and low to the water which gives you a more immersive experience than the bigger boats.

Daintree river cruise - My partner and I had a great 1hr cruise on the Daintree river. Saw a couple of crocs and a few baby ones, frogs and birds. Even if you don’t see much (which is not guaranteed you will) it’s still a great, informative trip that I’d highly recommend. We crossed to the Daintree on the ferry after which is right there so it was a perfect day!
