Our intent was to see crocodiles - and we did - large and small. But, to our great pleasure, the serenity of watching egrets glide along the river enroute to their nesting areas, the sunset, tree frogs, bats, and ant purses made our river cruise even better. Dan Irby loves the river and the information he gives out is right... More

Crocs are interesting but what made this evening great (and something I was not intending to see) was long lines of Egrets flying just above the water going to roost just on dusk. It was a great sight something I had not witnessed before. Would recommend going on the evening outing.

We had the pleasure of heading out with Dan and another couple earlier this evening. The tour was informative and very relaxing. We spotted several baby crocs, a tree frog and numerous birds. We really enjoyed the relaxed way that Dan ran the cruise and would highly recommend it should you visit the area! - Chris & Nic

My wife and I enjoyed a couple of hours on the river with Dan. He loves the river and has a keen eye for croc's and tree frogs. When the stars come out Dan can point out the Southern Cross and other stars. It is a relaxing and informative time.

Myself and my 10 yo daughter did a trip with Dan, mid April. It was a sunset tour and it was very very good. There was no one else on the river when we went, except the ferry. Dan went out of his way to encourage questions and he answered everyone honestly and with much knowledge. He did not stop... More

We visited Australia in December 2012 and one of our highlights was this trip with Dan Irby. We did this trip wiht our two daughters of 19 and 20 and they loved it as well. We went in the afternoon and evening and the quietness, the huge amount of bats and of course the very interesting information of Dan made... More

My daughter and I spent an evening on the river with Dan, while visiting Cape Tribulation. We had a wonderful time. Dan is, first and foremost, a lovely man, and a pleasure to spend time with. He is easy going, thoroughly knowledgable and a joy to be with. The river is beautiful and so peaceful at sunset. We enjoyed the... More

Our family of 2 adults and 3 kids under 12 had a fun and excellent adventure with Dan. He's great with the kids and very patient when they struggle to ask questions or interrupt. He's a wealth of knowledge and answered all of our questions. He pointed out a ton of animals and explained their habitats and behaviors. We took... More

We got picked up Dan by the riverside, and said hello to the other people joining us this evening. We felt really comfortable and taken care of with this small unit of people. Dan showed us, and told us a lot about the rainforest. We learned about mangrooves, birds, tree ants, local history and crocodiles. The tour started out with... More
