The Daintree River 2-hour sunset cruise with the Daintree Boatman departs from the public boat ramp in Daintree Village. Up to 10 passengers board a small roofless vessel equipped with a dual Bimini roof that can be raised if the weather changes. The boat uses a hybrid motor combining a regular outboard and an electric motor, which reduces noise and disturbance to allow close wildlife viewing. The cruise follows the Daintree River and its tributaries, traveling from freshwater areas to saline mangrove zones. Passengers have the opportunity to see kingfishers, herons, frogmouth birds, saltwater crocodiles, and snakes, with many animals active in the late afternoon light. The guide adapts the tour to the interests of the group. The cruise starts and finishes at the Daintree Village boat ramp, which is a 45-minute drive from Port Douglas and 75 minutes from Cape Tribulation. There is no public transport to Daintree Village and no transfers are provided. Children under 6 years are not allowed, and all children must be accompanied by an adult. Passengers are advised to bring a hat and jacket for weather protection. The tour ends near local accommodations and eateries in Daintree Village.
