Chris Dahlberg's Daintree River Tours and cruises are an excellent way to see wildlife on your visit here. It is also a wonderful way for you to see and hear the rainforest from the discretion of a skilfully manoeuvred vessel. In the tropics the dawn envelope does not last a long time and it is crucial for you to start at first light. Go any later and you will not get the best out of your visit.
The reputation that the Daintree now enjoys for wildlife viewing and birdwatching can be largely attributed to this tour. Chris pioneered small group tours with dawn departures and the use of a vessel without a roof back in 1992. You will see an average of 50 wildlife species on the two hour tour and a list of those wildlife sightings for your particular tour is uploaded to the contact-website (below) before lunch the same day. Chris exploits the early morning ambience and the absence of other tourists by departing from the Daintree Village jetty at dawn.
Facilities
The wildlife viewing vessel that Chris designed, can access the more interesting parts of the river system; for instance, under the Barratt Creek bridge into the Daintree rainforest, adding to the mystique of this interesting Daintree River tour.
After the trip, a report and wildlife checklist is uploaded to the web where it stays forever. By studying these reports you can reasonably predict what wildlife will be seen for the time of year that you are here.
