Daintree Boatman Wildlife Cruises Daintree Boat Day Trips

Dawn cruises provide the best conditions to see the river at its most stunning, as well as the greatest chance to see wildlife particularly highly sought-after birds of the Daintree River. Referred to in many ‘birding’ reference books, this famous cruise has been in operation for more than 20 years. Key target species include Little Kingfisher, Papuan Frogmouth, Black Bittern, Great-billed Heron, Saltwater Crocodile, Green Tree Snake, Water Dragon and butterflies. 

Tours are professionally conducted in a small, comfortable, open vessel which enables a quiet, intimate exploration of the river with close views of target birds and wildlife. Cruises explore the narrow, shallow tributaries of the Daintree River, where the big boats can’t go.
