기억에 남는 활동

25달러정도의 할인티켓으로 입장, 1시간 반정도의 투어동안 5마리의 악어와 2마리의 뱀을 관찰함. 투어 가이드의 설명이 매우 좋았고 모든 사람들을 배려해서 악어와 뱀을 볼 수 있었음. 강력히 추천함

A variety of sightings on this cruise.

We went on the 2:30pm Cruise last week. Very friendly staff and guide. We managed to see a very large Alpha Croc on the river bank, a baby croc plus birds and a snake. My tip would be to try and go earlier in the day up to midday when you are likely to see more Crocs active.

Great cruise

Bruce Belcher's cruises were exceptional. They were incredibly accommodating, allowing me to adjust my initial booking without any hassle. Our tour guide, Brett, was exceptionally knowledgeable and went out of his way to ensure we had multiple crocodile sightings. The cruise was thoroughly enjoyable, and we were even treated to an unexpected shark sighting. The complimentary slushie was a welcome surprise and much appreciated on a hot day. We observed a wide variety of crocodiles, from females to males. I highly recommend Bruce Belcher's and Sons for anyone seeking a memorable cruise on the Daintree River.
