Great trip with a really knowledgeable guide. He maneuvered the boat superbly to enable us to get great photos of the wildlife. He used his expert knowledge of the area and the animals that live there to enable us to get great views of a couple of crocodiles. Highly recommend

Very nice sunset cruise around the Daintree River. Cool the Murray wnated to know what the guests were particularly interested in - we saw loads of different birds, a tree snake and two crocs!

Murray was very knowledgeable with a dry sense of humour. We were on the sunset cruise and saw a plethora of birds. My husband is a keen bird watcher and we noted over 25 different species of birds including the adorable Azure Kingfisher (several) and the Papuan Frogmouth. Too many to list here. Unfortunately wildlife was in limited supply, Murray explained that at this time of year the waters of the river are warming up so wildlife like crocodiles can stay underwater for longer in the day. We did see an Amethyst Python and of course butterflies and dragon flies. Would recommend this sunset cruise but understand that wildlife is not guaranteed, cruising down the beautiful Daintree River with stunning views, trees and foliage was worth it with or without wildlife.

Croc-focused river cruises are easy to find on the Daintree but finding one that caters to people interested in other wildlife as well is hard. We had a particular interest in reptiles and birds and Murray was an extremely knowledgeable guide, who knew where to find as many as possible and could tell us about them. We had a small group with similar interests, so there wasn't the big crocs/tiny birds conflict that could arise. I got to see one of my favourite snakes some new birds, and, yes, crocodiles. We wanted to book another cruise but nothing was available during the rest of our stay, but we hope to come back and will certainly try to do another cruise with this company.

Excellent trip with Murray. Great to be on the river and see the birds and crocs. Coming back with the sun setting was truly magical. Great to be able to get so close to the birds as well.

The experience was amazing. It was informative, enjoyable and great value for money. We saw some memorable wildlife including many different species of birds, snakes and some huge crocs both on the bank and swimming near us. The Daintree River scenery was absolutely stunning especially at this time of the day. Can’t recommend it highly enough. Thanks, Murray.

This small boat tour along the river and creek was a highlight of our holiday. Murray was able to point out multiple birds, vegetation and crocodiles- he certainly knows this patch or the river extremely well. The cruise back into the sunset was peaceful and a lovely conclusion.

Helpful guide who knew his stuff. A great trip and would recommend. Not a long journey at all, but seeing great sights. :)

As a wild life enthusiast I had a great time, Murray was happy to accomodate everyone on the boat. We saw lots of crocs and birds and were treated to facts about all species we encountered. I'd definitely recommend this cruise for all ages and walks of life.

We were blown away by the beauty of the Daintree river, made more special by Murray and his extensive knowledge and the incredible golden hour. We saw multiple crocs, snakes and rare to see birdlife (including a great billed heron!!!). The tour didn’t feel rushed and we spent a good amount of time with each sighting. Overall a very relaxing and beautiful sunset cruise which we would definitely recommend to anyone. Thank you Murray! -Gregor and Maddy

There is no better way to experience the beauty of this region, than on a tour of the mighty Daintree River with Murray Hunt of Daintree Boatman. Some close encounters (but not too close) of large crocodiles, 3 species of gorgeous Kingfishers, the camouflaged Papuan Frogmouth, 2 species of Flycatchers, Green Tree Snake and much more. And not to forget Murrays very informative commentary.

This is the second time we have done this cruise and both were truly wonderful experiences. Saw many wildlife including crocodiles, appreciated the landscape and rainforest and it was beautiful and peaceful being out on the river especially at that time of day. Murray is an excellent and very knowledgeable guide and also leaves quiet time for reflection. Thoroughly recommended.

An excellent tour, in a stunning area, at a beautiful time of day. Murray is a great host, with a very keen eye, and a tonne of knowledge of the river and the nature on and around it. Can highly recommend!

My cousin who lives in Newport, NSW recommended Murray as he had taken his kids a few years previously. Needless to say I was not disappointed! Murray is incredibly knowledgeable about the local environment whatever your particular interest (mine was birds) and a bloody nice bloke to boot! Crocs, snakes, kingfishers and other bird life of all shapes, colour and sizes, it didn’t matter, as with an almost uncanny knack, they all seemed to be exactly wherever Murray pointed the boat. Cannot recommend highly enough.

A fantastic boat ride on the daintree river. Skipper Murray was knowledgeable, deadpan witty and had a keen eye for creatures large and small, hidden in plain sight. The convertible electric boat was perfectly suited to the river. We benefited from Murray’s deep knowledge of the flora and fauna of the area. A highlight of our entire trip.
