Port Douglas River Cruise

The Port Douglas River Cruise takes you on a journey that showcases spectacular coastal views.

Join the search for estuarine (saltwater) crocodiles and other wildlife on this idyllic calm water river cruise through the mangrove forests around Port Douglas.  We see these incredible crocodiles on 95% of our tours as well as countless other bird and animal species.

There are several different cruise times.  Each Port Douglas River Cruise passes through the scenic Port Douglas waterfront, past the marina with a cruise to the inlet entrance and exploration far up Dickson Inlet

An entertaining and informative commentary covers mangroves, crocodiles, local history of Port Douglas and all there is to know about the area.

See stunning wilderness, wildlife, shipwrecks as well as the picture-perfect scenery including stunning coastal views of the rainforest-clad mountains and local islands. The perfect location to enjoy the sunsets over the mountains on our sunset cruise. 

Relax and enjoy yourself slowly cruising the calm waters of Port Douglas’ waterfront and drifting into the mangrove forests along the river.
