This one-hour boat cruise runs regularly along a 12-kilometre section of the Daintree River near Port Douglas.

The cruise travels through areas of rainforest and mangroves, offering chances to see local wildlife and birds. The route from Daintree Village is known for bird watching, while the ferry gateway departure provides views of Thornton Peak and surrounding rainforest.
