Overview

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 business is locally family owned and operated and has been going since 2002. We offer a unique eco experience with minimal impact; see, hear and smell nature at its best. We also offer longer two or three hour cruises by bookings only, maximum 10 people great for photography or those that want a longer more personalised tour.

Thank you so much to the tour guide for answering our kids 50 million questions. You were so patient and the kids learnt a lot. I've never seen them so engaged! On the tour we saw 2 baby crocs, a female croc, a green frog on the mangroves and the boat, a scrub python, Azure kingfishers and a million other lovely birds. It was great value for money. We really enjoyed the tour - it was the highlight of our Daintree experience!

Went late April 2024 when the weather was still warm and didn't expect to see many crocs but ended up seeing two juveniles and three adults including 2 very large males. The captain and commentator was very skilled both in his running commentary and boat handling skills with some interesting statistics and myths dispelled. With the boat running on electric it made little noise and we were able to get very close to the wildlife including rare birds plus the captain is able to zoom in with a camera and put it on a screen at the rear of tge boat for all to see. Good value and definately worth experiencing.The only disappointment is how quick an hour goes, next time we will do the 2 hour trip.

Had a great cruise on the Daintree with Solar Whisper. It was raining and high tide but we still got to see a baby crocodile and a large adult, and a tree snake. Skipper was very knowledgeable. Being in an electric boat is definitely a huge plus – no fuel smells or noise. Also great to be within a smaller group. Had plenty of opportunity to take photos of the animals. Highly recommend these guys.
