Daintree River 'Sunset' Cruise med Daintree Boatman
Beskrivelse
En sen eftermiddag krydstogt afsluttes ved solnedgang er den perfekte måde at afslutte din Daintree oplevelse. Svæve på vandet, nyde det sene eftermiddagslys, se dyreliv fodre før solnedgang, ofte med et væld af egretter flyver hjem til roost for natten, der er få bedre steder at være end ude på Daintree River. Højt eftertragtede fugle (kingfishers, herons, frogmouth blandt andre) samt saltvandskrokodiller & slanger ses på de fleste krydstogter. Krydstogter dækker op til 10 passagerer (med en minimum alder på 6 år. Krydstogter er skræddersyet til passagerernes interesser. Den båd, der anvendes, er en unik 'hybrid', der udnytter både en almindelig udbords og en utrolig elektrisk motor, der skaber mindre forstyrrelser og muliggør enestående udsigter over dyrelivet. Krydstogter starter og slutter på den offentlige bådrampe i Daintree Village. Overførsler er ikke mulige. Daintree Village ligger 45 minutter fra Port Douglas, 75 minutter til Cape Trib. Der er ingen offentlig transport til dette sted.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Afslut din dag ombord på et lille komfortabelt skib, der kun har plads til 10 passagerer. Fra Daintree Villages bådrampe og anløbsbro vil du blive budt velkommen ombord af den professionelle guide til et 2 timers guidet solnedgangskrydstogt, der tager dig langs den mægtige Daintree-flod og dens tilstødende bifloder, hvortil de store både ikke sejler. Du vil udforske flodens unikke økologi fra dens ferskvandsoprindelse til de saltholdige mangrover, der glider langs floden i de sene eftermiddagsstråler. Krydstogtet giver fremragende visning af dyreliv og fotografiske muligheder for at komme tæt på det ikoniske dyreliv. Krydstogter er en særlig oplevelse, med meget eftertragtede fugle, krokodiller og slanger, der ses på de fleste krydstogter. Det mindre fartøj muliggør en rolig intim udforskning af floden. Turen slutter tilbage ved Daintree Village-bådrampen, hvor det kun er en kort gåtur op til landsbyen til hotellet for en drink eller middag.

Great host and trip - highly recommended
Great. Pleased you enjoyed your experience 😀
Murray was brilliant! He introduced our group to the scaley denizens of the Daintree River- Barrett, Scarface and Hook as well as giant egrets and explained the diversity of the vegetation around the river. Highly recommended and enjoyable
Great! It is a very unusual day to be able to see all three of these three ‘boss’ crocs. You’ve been lucky! Thank you for your kind review! 😀
My spouse and I wanted to see more than just saltwater crocodiles on the Daintree River, so we booked a private tour with Murray for early morning. When a large tree fell and blocked both lanes of Cape Tribulation Road, we need to reschedule our boat ride. It was doubtless inconvenient for Murray, but he accommodated us, and we instead had a lovely midafternoon to early evening ride. Murray was knowledgeable and dedicated to finding as much wildlife as possible- such as frogmouths, three species of kingfishers, and other delights. Murray was informative about the local environment, and was willing to say when he wasn’t sure about something, and would then look it up. He was a great guide for us.
Great. Thank you for your thoughtful review. Just pleased that there was indeed availability later in the late afternoon and were able to reschedule and have a nice cruise on the river.
Beautiful scenery, friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. A fun and relaxing evening in the rain forest.
Thank you. I’m pleased you enjoyed your cruise 👍
We had a great time at Daintree the only issue was when we had booked Uber to return back they canceled 15 minutes after pickup and we couldn't find transportation back so we ended up having to talk an employee to drive us
Good to hear you had a good time on the Daintree River itself. Disappointing though to hear that someone else let you down regarding transportation.
At the start of the trip Murray ensured he understood what we wanted from it. He carefully positions the boat to reach perfect photographic angles, ensuring clear access to the birds. We were able to capture beautiful shots of little and azure kingfishers, the great billed heron, Papuan frogmouth, and the shining flycatcher, among many others. Murray is very knowledgeable of the river and the habitats of the birds and other creatures. The trip was magical and educational. We had a wonderful time. Fully recommended.
Great! Thank you. I’m rapt that you enjoyed your experience and were able to go home with good pictures of several of the key birds of the river 👍
We were super happy with Murray's boat tour. I researched many different boat companies and was happy to find Murray's. It was a small group - 8 people! It was a beautiful night on the Daintree river. We enjoyed beautiful weather, beautiful scenery, and a calm relaxed group. We saw many birds and 2 crocodiles and learned a lot about the area and river. It felt like a friend taking us for a boat ride on the river! I highly recommend.
Ha! Love this review! 👍 Your suggestion that this cruise "felt like a friend taking us on the river" is extraordinarily kind and also motivational - something that I should aim for in all cruises! Thanks for having a positive impact on my thinking 😀
I recently took an evening cruise with the “Daintree Boatman” and it was an awesome experience! Our small group saw a multitude of birds, an amythystine python and a salt water crocodile. Murray’s obvious love of and extensive knowledge of the river and its creatures shone through as he guided us up and down the river. To cap it off we experienced a beautiful sunset on the Daintree river. I would not hesitate to take this cruise again!
Great! 👍 Thank you for kind review. Now due to ‘summer’ heat, we’re getting to that difficult time of year to find much wildlife, particularly reptiles in the afternoon so I’m particularly pleased you enjoyed your experience.
Murray was an excellent resource and guide . We followed Barrett the crocodile ,saw egrets, swiftlets, swallows, sacred and azure kingfishers, Black bitterns, Papuan frogmouth, white ibis, Radjah shelducks, shining flycatcher, little pied comorant and sulphur crested cockatoo.
Great. Thank you for visiting. Thank you for going to the effort of posting a review. I’m pleased you enjoyed your cruise 😀
Really enjoyed this boat trip with a small group of nature enthusiasts and a very knowledgeable guide with a bit of humour chucked in for good measure.
Great! 😊 must have been a good relaxed tour if I was able to shine enough for a few jokes. Glad you enjoyed 👍
