Crocodile spotting on the Endeavour River
Crocodile!
River Cruises
Boat cruises on the Endeavour River explore
ancient mangrove systems
and
magnificent
rainforest habitat
. Guests experience native
wildlife and fauna in its natural form and learn
about this amazing eco-system and the part
it plays in supporting its neighbour the
Great
Barrier Reef
.
The best time for
croc-spotting
is during the
winter months of June-August on a low tide.
Saltwater crocodiles are most commonly seen
in the
North Arm of the River
, with many
different-sized crocs reluctant to slide back into
the cold water.
The North Arm of the River also offers the
opportunity to see many
native birds
,
and
green tree snakes
, pythons and the
occasional taipan have also been spotted.
