Description

Alongside Cairns is a magnificent tidal estuary that is rarely seen. Only accessible by boat, Crocodile Explorer is the only luxury, air-conditioned cruise taking small numbers of visitors along Trinity Inlet on this scenic nature cruise. With waterways winding through a maze of mangroves, expect rich diverse wildlife, stunning scenery and a relaxing cruise with informative commentary from your crew. This is the saltwater crocodile's natural habitat - spot them basking on the muddy banks.

Get up close and personal to the crocodiles by gaining exclusive access to the Cairns Crocodile Farm. During your insider's tour, see crocodiles in their natural environment and learn from a very knowledgeable tour guide about breeding habits, how the eggs are collected and how the crocodiles are farmed for their skin. Passengers are then treated to an informative and remarkable one-hour tour of the Cairns Crocodile Farm followed by a 30-minute coach tour back to Cairns via the southern corridor. The coach tour takes in the wide open sugar cane fields and surrounding mountain ranges. Throughout the tour passengers receive informative commentary from our trained interpretive staff.

Crocodile Explorer also operates a Sunset Cruise and Sunset Cruise and Dinner package.
