Daintree River Cruise


The evening of the same day we visited Mossman Gorge, we headed further north and did a cruise on the Daintree River to see the Saltwater Crocodiles there.  The weather was not very good, it was late in the day and all we saw were a couple of baby crocodiles and some other river birds.  We enjoyed the cruise but were disappointed that we did not see any adult crocs.  Because we had only seen a couple of babies the owner of the cruise company offered us a free repeat of the cruise and we took advantage of his offer the next day around noon and saw plenty of crocs, along with other Australian wildlife and flora.
