Great time out with cruise. Saw lots of crocodiles. The operator knew their favorite spots and had lots of stories to tell. Would definitely recommend this trip.

Absolutely amazing experience checking out crocs and other wildlife on the Daintree River. We saw about 5 crocs, 4 on the banks of the river and another croc swimming down the river which was amazing. Boat captain/guide was really informative and gave us info about the area and the crocs. Highly recommend!

Excellent cruise! My wife and I did the 60 minute morning tour in early June; both the time of year and time of day turned out to be great as we saw 7 or 8 big crocs hauled out on the bank, getting out of the cool winter water to warm up in the sun. Our guide was super informative about everything crocodile, as well as the general river ecosystem, with some dry wit sprinkled throughout. The Solar Whisper is indeed quiet, which not only avoids alarming the crocs as we glided in close, but allowed the guide to talk without amplification. The boat also produces almost no wake, and of course no oil/fuel, so there's minimal impact on the mangroves compared to the gas-powered boats.

Expected big things from this cruise after great word-of-mouth feedback from friends who've done it before, but would definitely say my expectations where exceeded. I did the 2 hour cruise. Crocs were plentiful, from a hatchling to a 4.7 metre behemoth and others in between. Crocs seen swimming, fishing and also basking on the river bank. They were able to be viewed from a nice close distance, but never so near as to disturb the animals. Very respectful and accompanied by a great commentary from skipper David which was informative, sometimes funny and never intrusive to the quiet enjoyment of the experience. As a bonus, I was (unexpectedly) allowed to take my small, well behaved dog on a leash aboard. She enjoyed the cruise from my lap. All in all I would certainly recommend this cruise. Well done, David.

The tour was great and we were lucky that "Scarface", the biggest and oldest, laid right around the first corner...and lucky that most of the crocs were there...The guides see a green snake, frog, right in the middle of a green tree.....just trained guides

Had a great experience with Solar Whisper! We saw several (big!) crocodiles and also got some very interesting information and stories about the salties & Daintree river. Small company and most eco friendly one so would highly recommend opting for Solar Whisper!

Our tour guide - David was very knowledgeable about the river & the crocs that inhabit it. We seen two big males resting on the bank & 3 females. Plus 2 tree snakes & birds. David was also very funny and made it a great one hour boat ride.

The guide was super experienced and knew all about the local crocodiles and where to find them - even the baby crocodiles hiding on the bank. There was a friendly dog on board. Smaller boat which meant that everyone was able to see everything. We saw about 5-6 crocodiles of all shapes and sizes. Highly recommend this tour.
