Highly recommended Crocodile Express Daintree River Cruise, all the staff are wonderful, but a special mention to Bill our tour guide who went above & beyond to make sure we saw a least one Croc, a Huge one at that!

Loved being out on the magnificent Daintree River and  experiencing it through the eyes of our guide Justin who is just so passionate about the area. The boat is covered so you have no worries about the weather and we were lucky to only have 6 people on our tour so there was plenty of room to move about and take photos

* In the warmer months the river temperature rises and the crocodiles are much harder to see as they spend most of their time in the water. If no crocodiles are spotted we offer free return tours until we have some success.

See a croc in the wild: Top 6 Daintree River cruises

Emily Murphy

Social Media Manager & Writer

03 August 2023

Want to see a salty in the wild? There’s no better place than a Daintree River Cruise.

As  Queensland’s crocodile country , Daintree has tours that take you up the river where crocodiles have lived for a million years. A bucket list moment when you’re in the Daintree rainforest is seeing a giant saltwater (estuarine) crocodile in the wild. There are plenty of them around, but stumbling upon one isn’t really what you want, so the best way to see them in their natural habitat is through one of the many Daintree River cruises that operate each day.

The Daintree River is something to marvel at. (Image: Tourism and Events Queensland)

Daintree River boasts some of the best sightseeing in the world. From the beautiful rainforest to the stunning wildlife, there is something for everyone to enjoy. All the tours have their own specialities, whether that be their breadth of experience or their focus on sustainability, so we’ve found the best of the bunch.

Here are the top six Daintree River cruises for spotting crocodiles.

1. Daintree River Cruise Centre

The Daintree River Cruise Centre showcases all the wonderful aspects of the Daintree – from huge estuarine crocodiles and flocks of tropical birds to schools of fish, native mangrove species and everything in between.

With a 60–90-minute tour, the knowledgeable guides will impart their knowledge to you about the Daintree and the crocodiles who call the river home.

Tickets are $35 for adults or $17.50 for kids.

Why we love them: The Daintree River Cruise Centre is an Ecotourism Australia ECO-certified tour operator that displays the spectacular wildlife of the Daintree Rainforest without hurting the environment!

2. Bruce Belcher’s Daintree River Cruises

Bruce Belcher’s Daintree River Cruises one-hour wildlife cruises will take you on a journey down the river to see the crocs up close and personal. You’ll also see plenty of tree snakes and birds! Guests are encouraged to stand on the front deck of the boat to really immerse themselves in the experience.

There are seven cruises per day, so you’ll be able to book a tour that suits your schedule.

Tickets are $30 for adults or $14 for children.

Why we love them: Bruce has a keen eye for spotting wildlife due to his over 32 years of experience as a tour guide on the Daintree River and more than 40,000 trips!

3. Solar Whisper

The Solar Whisper Crocodile Cruise River Tour allows you to get closer to nature, and really be able to hear, smell and experience the tour without the noise and fumes other boats create. That’s because Solar Whisper is a quiet, clean, solar electric boat!

Solar Whisper has a 99 per cent success rate of spotting crocs and other wildlife because the crocs spend more time underwater in summer. Don’t worry, if you don’t see a croc on your tour, they’ll keep taking you until you see one!

Why we love them: Solar Whisper is the only zero-emission boat on the Daintree River. So, get close to the crocodiles and other wildlife without impacting their natural habitat!

4. Crocodile Express

Crocodile Express is the only cruise operator with two different departure points along the Daintree River, giving you the choice of two different river cruises. Experience the incredible wildlife of the Daintree’s amazingly diverse ecosystem with each tour!

The Lower Daintree River Cruise from the Daintree Ferry crossing goes through mud banks and mangroves and is guaranteed crocodile country. The Upper Daintree River Cruise from Daintree Village is popular for bird watching as it winds its way through dense rainforest.

Tickets are $29.70 for adults and $14.85 for children.

Why we love them: Crocodile Express was the very first tourism operator on the Daintree River, having begun operation in 1979.

5. Daintree Boatman Wildlife Cruises

Daintree Boatman Wildlife Cruises offers small group wildlife cruises that give you an insight into the Daintree’s environment and wildlife. With a maximum of 10 guests on board, there is plenty of opportunities to see the crocodiles and have a personalised experience.

The cruises go for two hours and are conducted at dawn and dusk – when the sun is at its best and you’ll get the most stunning pictures.

Tickets are $65 for adults and $40 for children.

Why we love them: The boat is a hybrid vessel with both a regular outboard and an electric motor powered by a portable lithium battery!

6. Daintree Crocodile Tours

Daintree Crocodile Tours offers both private tours and one-hour guided group tours of the Daintree River, so you can choose the option that best suits you. With an emphasis on education, you will gain all the knowledge about the rainforest itself, but also its resident reptiles.

Tickets are $40 for adults.

Why we love them: Kids aged 16 and under ride for free, so it’s a great family idea if you’re hoping to keep the costs down.

A very interesting and enjoyable tour. Although out of season for crocs we did see one and the rest of the wildlife and rainforest habitat made it more than worthwhile.

We really enjoyed the experience. A pity most of the birds have travelled inland to take advantage of the big wet. A very relaxing time spent on the water.

Everyone was very kind and caring.

Our visitors reviews on tripadvisor.com:

"The guides were excellent , knowledgable and entertaining. We have never seen these creatures in the wild before and it proved to be an occasion to remember." "What a great day! Incredible value at $25 for two river trips - we still have to (and will) return for our second trip." "Our guides were able to find 6 crocodiles between the two 1 hour cruises, including a very large male, slightly smaller female and several smaller adolescents. We were able to get close to all of them and I got fantastic photos, it was surreal to see such a foreign creature up close in the wild. Of all the things we did in Australia this was easily the best value for money of the entire trip,".

This is by far the best value wildlife cruise in the region. Two cruises to choose from and you can come back again for free. Go to our website for great discounts which only apply for online bookings.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).

Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.

Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).

Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).

UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.

Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .
