Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Very poor. The guide was not really interested and had very limited knowledge. The only thing we saw, a heron, he missed and would not go back. We have previously done a Daintree river cruise with another company which was excellent.

We had a most enjoyable river cruise yesterday during which we saw at least 4 large crocodiles! Our guide, Mick, was a fount of knowledge and made the cruise very interesting. Thank you Mick!

Wow, what an experience. Our Guide Craig found snakes in trees, unique bird life, and many crocs in our one-hour journey. Bonus he had a sense of humor, and made a huge effort to allow each person on the boat to get their pics. Local Daintree cordial was a refreshing treat as well. Highly recommend this adventure for everyone that visits the area. Awesome value for money xx

The cruise was very informative, especially about the rainforest flora and fauna. Unfortunately we only saw a baby crocodile but our driver told us lots about those we didn’t see. It was a fun way to spend an hour.

A fantastic 1.5 hour boat up the Daintree. Simply beautiful nature in its finest. We were lucky also to see a snake, 2 crocodiles and a rare Herron bird. If we didn’t see these creatures it would not have mattered as we were on the Daintree river enjoying nature and guided by a local expert.
Highly recommend

Excellent hour out on the Daintree River. Our guide on the boat was very knowledgeable and was happy to answer any questions. He pointed out birds, snakes and a crocodile to us and told us all about the mangroves and trees that lined the river, in fact how he spotted them all was amazing in the dense mangroves and forest. Highly recommended short trip. The self drive boat we went on was nowhere near as full as the organised trips.

We booked the 9.30am cruise last Thursday and it didn't disappoint. Bruce our guide was extremely knowledgeable and a great sense of humour. All staff at the centre were welcoming with a hot cuppa prior to the cruise. It was our first time on the Daintree River and to see it up close as we did was fantastic. Well worth it and great value for money.
