Daintree River Afternoon Tour
These tours are essentially the same as the Morning Tours in that both usually take place in the mangrove delta.
Sometimes this is preferred time-slot instead of the Morning Tour because of a more favourable tide or perhaps it may be at more convenient time. It is generally taken when people want to take the day-portion of the Combination Tour (see below).
Late afternoon is when the bunches of Pied Imperial Pigeons start flying back to their nests and mate on the off-shore islands (when they are in summer residence here).
This is when the birds start to become more active as the temperature begins to drop away from the hotter temperatures of mid-day.

The main boat, "Nightwatchman" is 6 metres long with an open top and very comfortable 360 degree swivel seats. The swivel seats allow you to turn to see "the action" rather than sitting shoulder to shoulder on a bench seat. Nightwatchman's shallow draft allows a much closer approach to things of interest. Its wide beam also gives it great stability.
Dan Irby's Mangrove Adventure Tours are different from other Daintree River Tours. Most other river tours are primarily a one-hour "See a Crocodile" tour. A Dan Irby's Mangrove Adventure Tour will let you discover all of what the Daintree River has to offer.
And best of all your tour guide Dan Irby personally conducts all the tours. Dan has been conducting tours on the Daintree River for over 15 years and has the experience to help you get most out of your Daintree River experience.
