Crucero 'Sunset' por el río Daintree con el Daintree Boatman
Descripción
Un crucero por la tarde terminando al atardecer es la manera perfecta de terminar su experiencia Daintree. Flotando en el agua, disfrutando de la luz de la tarde, observando la vida silvestre buscando alimento antes de la puesta del sol, a menudo con una multitud de garcetas volando a casa para descansar por la noche, hay pocos lugares mejores para estar que en el río Daintree. Aves muy solicitadas (pescadores reales, garzas, boca de rana entre otros) así como cocodrilos y serpientes de agua salada se ven en la mayoría de los cruceros. Los cruceros atienden a un máximo de 10 pasajeros (con una edad mínima de 6 años. Los cruceros se adaptan a los intereses de los pasajeros. El barco utilizado es un “híbrido” único que utiliza tanto un motor fueraborda regular como un increíble motor eléctrico, lo que crea menos perturbaciones que permiten vistas excepcionales de la vida silvestre. Los cruceros comienzan y terminan en la rampa de botes públicos en Daintree Village. Los traslados NO son posibles. Daintree Village está a 45 minutos de Port Douglas, 75 minutos de Cape Trib. NO hay transporte público a esta ubicación.

Itinerario
Termine su día a bordo de un pequeño y cómodo barco con capacidad para 10 pasajeros. Desde la rampa para botes y el embarcadero de Daintree Village, un guía profesional lo recibirá a bordo para un crucero guiado al atardecer de 2 horas que lo llevará a lo largo del poderoso río Daintree y sus afluentes adyacentes, hasta donde los barcos grandes no llegan. Explorará la ecología única de los ríos desde sus orígenes de agua dulce hasta los manglares salinos que se deslizan a lo largo del río en los rayos de la tarde. El crucero ofrece una excelente observación de la vida silvestre y oportunidades fotográficas para acercarse a la icónica vida silvestre. Los cruceros son una experiencia especial, con aves, cocodrilos y serpientes muy buscados en la mayoría de los cruceros. La embarcación más pequeña permite una exploración íntima y tranquila del río. El recorrido concluye de regreso en la rampa para botes de Daintree Village, donde hay un corto paseo hasta el pueblo y el hotel para tomar una bebida o cenar.

We saw interesting animals including crocodiles, snakes, and birds and heard some interesting information about the river, however the guide was not friendly ,did not try to make conversation with us or even ask our names and we did not feel comfortable asking him questions.
Thank you for your review. This one is a little disappointing but it is appreciated anyway as it provides a timely reminder that no matter how busy I am or what concerns I have about a cruise I need to remember to be on and provide a great experience each and every time. My apologies that you feel that I did not on this occasion.
Spotting the various birds, particularly the well camouflaged ones was fun. The Boatman was very knowledgeable, with a small vessel to get up close to the wildlife. With less than 10 people it was a quiet and relaxing experience with like minded travellers. The 2hr cruise was a good amount of time to see and experience the river and adjoining forest.
Great! Thank you for your thoughtful review. I’m pleased you enjoyed your experience 😀
Excellent trip. Great birds, frogmouth, kingfishers and flycatchers. Crocs and snakes. Murray’s sharp eyes ensured we saw more than expected.
Excellent 😀 thank you for attending. Thank you for posting a review 👍
We’ve done this cruise several times before and always enjoyed it. Murray has great local knowledge of the wildlife and where to spot it.
Great! 😊 Multiple re-visitation is a very great compliment indeed. Thank you for your support! 👍
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 👍
