Very cool experience!

We booked this tour last minute and we are so happy we did! We got to see everything you could wish for: swimming croc, mega croc, sunbathing croc, 1-year old crocs, couple-month old crocs, plus a ton of birds! The tour is the perfect length of time and the tour guide is super knowledgeable and happy to answer questions or joke around. Truly couldn’t ask for a better croc tour experience :)

Super recommend!

Felt like we were being watched by the crocs rather than a tour! It’s their natural habitat, there’s no feeding involved like other companies do. Our guide Ray was super knowledgeable. I really recommend!

From Bruce Belcher’s Daintree River Cruise

Thank you for your wonderful review. I'm so glad you enjoyed your trip with us and managed to see some crocodiles in their natural habitat. Great photo! We hope to welcome you back again some day.

You have to do this.

Great choice. Well organised, boats designed and built to get close to the crocs, good commentary by experienced staff who know where to find them.
