Crocced my world - Bruce was so friendly and offered many tidbits about the river, the local area and the crocs we saw. It was the perfect time to visit, we saw about 6 crocs on tour.

Fabulous Experience - The 1hr crocodile tour was a-mazing! We were in a family group of 5 (3 y/o, 6y/o, mum, dad and grandma).
Ray was a fabulous captain and host. He was born and bred in the Daintree and is super knowledgeable.
Ray is highly skilled at spotting wildlife down the river in advance and was able to get us super close without disturbing them. His expertise made our trip. We saw many medium size to big crocs (9m) and some beautiful rare local Daintree birds.
The boat was comfortable and has plenty of room to get a great view. We received a free alcoholic drink and snack with our ticket purchase. The tour as a whole was very easy and professional.
Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The best Croc tour in the Daintree - The best croc tour in the Daintree. Always guaranteed to see a croc with Brucey. We saw 1 croc roughly 3m and 2 smaller ones around 1.5m. Fantastic boat tour with the man himself who holds all the knowledge and interesting facts about the Daintree River. The gift shop is a must visit and the cafe is really nice too. We will definitely be back.
Cheers BB and Team

Great! - Saw a great croc! Our guide (Bruce) was knowledgable and funny. Far out!
Best times to see crocs are when tide is low (certain times of day) and temperature is cool (not summer).
