We are one of the original companies specializing in rainforest interpretation in Far North Queensland. We have exclusive rights to operate river cruises on the Barron River and the only river cruise tour company operating within the Village of Kuranda.
Reviews
The lady who took us on the river cruise was very knowledgeable. She explained about the freshwater crocodiles and life on the river in general. Would recommend the river cruise.
The extensive knowledge of our guide made our tour very interesting indeed!!!
I thoroughly enjoyed my trip on the river and Lex, our guide, was fantastic - funny as well as informative. Seeing a cassowary up close was definitely the highlight for me.
If anything, it was over too soon.
Loved our skipper and the commentary too!
This was infomative and the staff were considerate, patient and friendly.
Information given and scenery were all wonderful. Seeing crocodiles in their natural environment far exceeded any zoo. Highly recommended.
