Only can see little crocodiles and I guess they are lazy, but still interesting because you can see other tropical animals such as frogs if you are lucky More

Staff on the cruise very friendly and service was good but the cruise itself was boring - maybe some more commentary would've helped. Highlight - not the sunset as it was cloudy but the spotting of a crocodile. We then had the dinner at Dundees restuarant and it was yummy. The pavlova was very good but being rushed to have... More

We enjoyed a sunset cruise from the Marina that went into Trinity inlet. Perfect weather made for a pretty sunset and the lights of Cairns city were pretty as we made our way back into the marina. We chose the dinner option and made our way to Dundees restaurant for a superb 3 course meal. Total cost was $77 per... More

Went to the Crocodile Explorer boat to spot some crocs (of course). Due to the wet season and very high and warm water, haven't seen much of the croc. Anyway, the trip was worth, thanx to the excellent boat driver Jan. He gave us an interresting insight into the rainforest and estuary lore. More

The boat cruise can be rather boring, depending on the time of day and year. We were there in the rainy season and saw nothing but listened to a lot of information about Mangrove trees. If you really want to know about Mangroves, it may be worth your while, but otherwise, it was just sitting on a boat going up... More
