In many parts of the world there are cruises on rivers. The Daintree River is more famous than most of the others and has many aspects to it with tourist appeal. Some Daintree cruises capture the ambiance of a tropical river system during early morning or dusk. Others pack in the crocodile spotters, by the busload in the middle of the day.
One outfit specialises in wildlife at dawn and yet others concentrate on fishing and photography. They are good value for money. To numerous to list here are the bus/coach/4WD safari tours that advertise a Daintree cruise as part of their itinerary and there is no need to list them here because they use one of the 50 seat boat operations.
Daintree River cruises are all accessed from the southern or Cairns side of the river anywhere from the ferry crossing to the Daintree Village and the parking is free at all venues.
