The Daintree River is a haven for birdwatchers, with over 280 recorded species in the region. Private birdwatching charters allow you to explore key habitats at optimal times, with flexible itineraries tailored to your target species. Our expert guides will help you spot everything from kingfishers and herons to rare and migratory birds.
We regularly support research groups, universities, and environmental organisations conducting studies on the river’s flora, fauna, and ecosystems. Our team will work with you to accommodate specialised equipment, timing requirements, and project needs, ensuring a safe and productive research environment.
There is no better way to end a day in the Daintree than with a private sunset cruise. As the river transitions from day to dusk, the changing light, wildlife activity, and tranquil waters create a truly magical experience. Bring a camera or simply relax and soak in the beauty of this World Heritage listed environment.
For a premium experience, we can arrange catering options to suit your private charter. From gourmet picnic platters to fully serviced meals, we will work with local partners to tailor a menu that complements your cruise. Advance booking is required to coordinate catering details.
The Daintree region produces an extraordinary range of tropical fruits, many of which are rare or unique to the area. Enhance your private charter with a guided fruit tasting experience, featuring seasonal selections sourced from local growers. A delicious way to immerse yourself in the tastes of the tropics.
Celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, reunions, or any special moment with a bespoke private charter. Our team will help you design a memorable cruise, with options to add catering, decorations, or personalised touches. Share an unforgettable experience with family and friends on the Daintree River.
