Crociera "Sunset" sul fiume Daintree con il Daintree Boatman
Descrizione
Una crociera nel tardo pomeriggio che termina al tramonto è il modo perfetto per finire la tua esperienza Daintree. Galleggiando sull'acqua, godendo della luce del tardo pomeriggio, osservando la fauna selvatica alla ricerca di cibo prima del tramonto, spesso con una moltitudine di garzette che volano a casa per riposare per la notte, ci sono pochi posti migliori in cui stare che fuori sul fiume Daintree. Uccelli molto ricercati (pescatori reali, aironi, bocca di rana tra gli altri) così come coccodrilli e serpenti di acqua salata sono visti sulla maggior parte delle crociere. Le crociere possono ospitare un massimo di 10 passeggeri (con età minima di 6 anni. Le crociere sono personalizzate in base agli interessi dei passeggeri. La barca utilizzata è un “ibrido” unico che utilizza sia un fuoribordo regolare che un incredibile motore elettrico che crea meno disturbo consentendo viste eccezionali della fauna selvatica. Le crociere iniziano e finiscono alla rampa pubblica delle barche nel villaggio di Daintree. I trasferimenti NON sono possibili. Daintree Village è a 45 minuti da Port Douglas, 75 minuti a Cape Trib. Non ci sono mezzi pubblici per questa posizione.
Opzioni del tour
Itinerario
Termina la tua giornata a bordo di una piccola nave confortevole che può ospitare solo 10 passeggeri. Dalla rampa e dal molo del Daintree Village sarai accolto a bordo dalla guida professionale per una crociera guidata al tramonto di 2 ore che ti porterà lungo il possente fiume Daintree e i suoi affluenti adiacenti, dove le grandi barche non vanno. Esplorerai l'ecologia unica dei fiumi dalle sue origini d'acqua dolce alle mangrovie saline che scivolano lungo il fiume nei raggi del tardo pomeriggio. La crociera offre un'eccellente osservazione della fauna selvatica e opportunità fotografiche per avvicinarsi alla fauna iconica. Le crociere sono un'esperienza speciale, con uccelli, coccodrilli e serpenti molto ricercati visti sulla maggior parte delle crociere. La nave più piccola consente una tranquilla esplorazione intima del fiume. Il tour si conclude alla rampa del battello del Daintree Village dove è solo una breve passeggiata fino al villaggio per raggiungere l'hotel per una bevanda o una cena.

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 👍
