Cairns Harbour Cruise & Green Island Tour

A full day tour, including a half day cruise to Green Island and then in the afternoon a harbour cruise on Trinity Inlet’s mangrove lined waterways spotting for saltwater crocodiles and bird watching.

Cairns Harbour Cruise

Alongside Cairns is a magnificent tidal estuary that is rarely seen, except by fishermen.  Only accessible by boat, M.V. Crocodile Explorer is a comfortable, air-conditioned vessel taking small numbers of visitors along Trinity Inlet on this scenic nature cruise.  With waterways winding through a 300 square kilometre maze of mangroves, expect rich diverse wildlife, stunning scenery and a relaxing cruise with informative commentary from our crew.  This is the saltwater crocodile’s natural habitat – with a chance to spot them basking on the muddy banks, particularly in the cooler months.
