Fun on the river

Wonderful trip on the daintree river. We saw lots of crocs and a snake. The guide was knowledgeable, expert boat driver and funny. The staff were amazing and so accommodating. We brought a picnic lunch and used their covered shelter. They brought mosquito coils out and water. Highly recommend them

Safety, delays and cost

The cruise itself was fine, but our experience was overshadowed by a serious issue with the return transport recommended by the Centre. We were referred to a driver who arrived with only three working seatbelts, despite there being four passengers, including two children (as advised to the Cebtre and driver). One seatbelt was not functional, and the driver began the journey regardless. We asked to stop shortly after and were dropped at a nearby service station. Despite the unsafe situation, we were charged $60 for a 5 minute drive and left stranded for over an hour, eventually paying $250 for an alternative shuttle. This was stressful, unsafe, and added significant unexpected cost. The Centre should review the transport providers they recommend.
