A very interesting and enjoyable tour. Although out of season for crocs we did see one and the rest of the wildlife and rainforest habitat made it more than worthwhile.

We really enjoyed the experience. A pity most of the birds have travelled inland to take advantage of the big wet. A very relaxing time spent on the water.

The Salt Water Crocodiles of the Daintree Rainforest

Written by: Cameron Ward

Published: 10/20/2016

Reading time: 4 mins

The Daintree Rainforest is one of Australia’s greatest natural wonders. Promising lush greenery and breath-taking views across the ancient scenery it lures visitors across the globe. Amidst it all, there is a plethora of animal life, including the crocodile – perhaps the most magnificent creature in this region.

Saltwater crocs are huge! Males measure between 5-6 metres, and females come in at a still-impressive 3 metres in length. In the Daintree River , there are thought to be around 70 adult crocodiles. The area is popular for crocodile spotting thanks to its ever-growing population, and proximity to Cairns.

You might think it’s dangerous getting up close and personal with these predators in their natural habitat. However, as crocodile spotting has been an activity since the 70s, the crocs are used to the whirr of boats on their waters.

The History of the Saltwater Crocodiles

They have a strong link with the aboriginal community, saltwater crocodile breeding, salt water crocodiles and territory, saltwater crocodiles feeding and hunting.

Due to their impressive size, they are at the very top of the food chain. But, amazingly, this isn’t the only reason for them being the top dogs. Their bite is a significant advantage. With 68 deadly teeth, and the ability to exert two tonnes of pressure with a single bite. They trap their prey in their incredibly strong jaws. They snatch up prey in their mouth, and aggressively roll rapidly in the water to remove the limbs of the prey. This is called the death roll.

They can be incredibly sneaky predators, camouflaging themselves in the murky green to brown waters of the tropics. Despite their size, they are quick, usually slowly sneaking up to their prey and darting out of the water before anyone can react. Their endurance is also be incredibly grand, swimming up to 900 kilometres in one go, and lasting long periods without any food.
