Why We Love This Unique Experience
Cairns Experience Gifts: See wildlife in the early dawn light with this incredible Morning Cruise on the Daintree River.
The two-hour tour launches shortly after dawn to catch the scenery along the banks at its most spectacular in the early morning light. It’s also one of the quietest times of the day, making it the perfect time to spot the native wildlife when it’s active. See amazing Saltwater Crocodiles, Green Tree Snakes and Water Dragons. This tour is also perfect for bird spotters as the Daintree is home to a diverse species of bird, including the Azure Kingfisher, Little Kingfisher, Papuan Frogmouth and Great-billed Heron. This tour takes a maximum of 10 passengers ensuring not only a calm, peaceful excursion to spot the wonderful wildlife, but one that can be customised for the viewing hopes of the passengers.
This fantastic 2-Hour Early Morning Wildlife Boat Tour of the Daintree River would be the perfect birthday gift for animal lovers, or a fun excursion on your next Cairns vacation.
