It was great day. My son loved the bird on board the boat.

They have little bird that made nest aboard which my son really enjoyed. It was a really beautiful trip and informational. We even saw some animals. I would recommend checking this out if you are in the area. It's a beautiful area and the boat ride was worth it.

Gentle river cruise, very pleasant experience with the opportunity to glimpse a freshwater crocodile

We had intended to go on the Army Duck tour but as it was full we decided to try the riverboat cruise which was a gentle sail along the Barron River and the added bonus of spotting a freshwater crocodile. All in all a nice way to end the day at Kuranda before catching the train back.

I learnt a lot of information on the tour and the scenery was beautiful

Absolutely fantastic! The man presenting the tour was funny and well-informed. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone and will rebook again. The scenery was absolutely beautiful as well. My daughter enjoyed looking at the turtles, ducks and fish.
