Solar Whisper Wildlife and Crocodile Cruises on the Daintree river

1 hour Daintree River wildlife and crocodile cruise on the only solar electric boat on the Daintree river. The boat it is nice and quiet and there are no petrol fumes or exhaust , it is also good for getting close to the wildlife without disturbing it. We aim to treat this fragile ecosystem with respect and have minimal impact, our boat does not create a wake so we do not erode the mangroves. We are the only boat with "Croc Cam"; a digital video with a very good zoom for showing hard to see animals on a big screen. Wildlife includes Salt Water Crocodiles, snakes, frogs, and birds and also interpretation of the mangrove environment. The buisness is locally family owned and operated and has been going for 16 years. We offer a unique experience with minimal impact see, hear and smell nature at its best nature eco experience. We also offer longer two , three hour cruises by bookings only, maximum 10 people great for photography for those that want a longer more personalised tour.

Mount Sorrow Ridge Trail

Reviewed By 245daver

My wife and I arrived at the base of the trail at 1pm and after reading some of the reviews and recommendations were unsure as to whether we should attempt the climb. We are relatively fit and both on the other side of 50 but decided to give it a go. The first kilometres are relatively easy but the last two are pretty brutal. We made the platform in 1hr 20 minutes. The way down was almost as hard taking 1 hour 16 minutes. My suggestion is to climb light and with free hands as there is some rope work and scrambling. Well worth the effort.

5. Daintree Tea

Daintree Tea

Reviewed By U8790FMtonyp - Winchelsea, Australia

Not too much to say - stopped to buy some of their tea, and they also have honey. Take what you want, leave the money in the box. Certainly cheaper than getting the same stuff at other locations on the same road. Really good tea, by the way.
