“ The Sunset Cruise was the perfect pinnacle of our wonderful visit to the Daintree and Cape Tribulation. We have never before experienced quite the peace and tranquillity as we cruised the Daintree at the end of the day. The mountains, the rain forest, the river reflecting the setting sun, the variety of bird life and yes, we got to see Fat Albert, one of the “king” crocodiles of the Daintree. Ian and Dawn, you were terrific – expert information and friendly hospitality”

Sunset cruising

Come and relax with a 2-hour Sunset Cruise aboard Explorer 11 in late afternoon on the Daintree River. Wonder at the brilliance of a tropical sunset, the tranquil waters of the Daintree at twilight and enjoy the myriad of wildlife as it settles into another night in the enveloping rainforest.

Again, there are great opportunities for the keen photographer as the sun sets majestically over the river. Countless birds find their place of rest for the night, nocturnal wildlife stirs for action and the ever-present possibility of a crocodile sighting, ensures another outstanding memory of your time on the Daintree.

We can arrange bookings to dine at one of the excellent local restaurants upon your return.

Free tea or coffee is offered before boarding Explorer 11, cold soft drinks or water are available for purchase or bring your favourite wine/beer and nibbles to enjoy as you cruise gently down the peaceful river.
