River Cruises

Crocodile Express. Bird-watchers and photographers flock to Crocodile Express's flat-bottom boats to cruise the Daintree River on crocodile-spotting excursions; you may also see rare birds and outsize butterflies, flying foxes, snakes, and lizards en route. Sixty-minute cruises leave the Daintree Gateway, 500 meters before the ferry crossing, at regular intervals from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm; or you can board at Daintree Village Jetty and cruise the Upper Daintree regularly between 10 and 3:30. Extra cruises from both access points are scheduled in peak periods. 5 Stewart St., end of Mossman–Daintree Rd., Daintree, Queensland, 4873. 07/4098–6120; www.crocodileexpress.com. From A$28.
