The Lady Douglas has been taking visitors (and in our case locals) up the Dickson Inlet for many years. A brilliant way to see the wildlife on the inlet in the company of knowledgeable and friendly boat skipper and mate John and Ann. We saw lots of crocodiles, males, females and a baby. Interactions between crocodiles are rare but we... More

We were holidaying with our 3 & half and 1 & half year old sons so there were not many cruises suitable for young kids like ours. But this was the one! The 2:30pm cruise was quite full but it's still steady and spacious enough to accommodate some young kids. Some parents even have prams on board although we did... More

We were really looking forward to this trip, especially me as it was my Birthday, so we booked the 2.30 afternoon trip, but we were the first ones booked on the trip, but they needed more than 10 people before they could do the trip and said they would call us and let us know if they didn't get enough,...

This was a nice relaxing way to end our day, we took the 'Sunset Cruise'. Drinks upon our arrival made us feel right at home, and the commentary during the cruise was great. We saw several crocodiles, and various birds and plants on interest. Price was great for the value. More

We like any boat cruse and the $30 evening cruse for 1.5 hours including a drink and nibbles you cant go wrong. if you consider it's $14 for a glass of wine at our resort it makes the cruse very cheap. the bonus was seeing 4 crocks a sea eagle and just take in the beauty of the area, a... More

This is an hour and a half cruise up the river, which was very enjoyable and laid back. You get a complimentary drink on arrival, which makes the $30 price tag very good value for money. There are also nibbles available. And you are welcome to take your own food with you. We saw 2 crocs on the tour, which... More

This is a small cruise on an old style boat up the river. You should see birds and the odd crocodile but the real joy for us was the laid back and friendly atmosphere. Its $30 each but you get a drink when you get on board and some nibbles so we thought it good value. More

Recently went on cruise on the Lady Douglas following recommendations from locals and other travellers. Have to say this was one of the best cruises I have been on. From the moment we boarded the Lady Douglas we were provided with an experience that included great service - complimentary drink and nibbles during the cruise along with informative dialogue in...

This came highly recommended and we were certainly not disappointed. Both guides were extremely knowledgeable and their obvious enthusiasm came through clearly. The complimentary drink and a nibbles are a nice touch and help to make the whole experience relaxing and enjoyable. We were fortunate to see a particularly large crocodile and the boat was skilfully manoeuvred in order to... More
