Hi BA Friends,Can you please let me know who operates the best boat tour for birders on the Daintree River now? I have some friends heading out there in December who are in to bird photography so any help you can provide would be great.Best wishesInger Inger VandykeProfessional Wildlife Photojournalist and Expedition LeaderTel: 447582369195Skype: ingervandykewww.ingervandyke.com Member International – The Explorer’s ClubBoard Member – Southern Oceans Seabird Study AssociationTeam Member – Beyond the Smile Womens Literacy Program, Solukhumbu Region, NepalMember – Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) Club Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram

I was in Daintree in July and had a great walking tour with Chris Dahlberg. He has, as Martin mentioned, sold the boat business to Murray Hunt. While I did not have the opportunity to take a boat tour, I did meet ‘Sauce’ Worcester and he was a lovely bloke and very knowledgeable and Chris recommends his river tours which leave from the jetty in Daintree village every morning and evening. Web is http://www.daintreeriverwildwatch.com.au (I have no financial connection with any of the above).

Hi I would always go with Sauce aka Ian Worcester of Daintree River Wild Watch – been out with him on a few occasions and his trips are superb. http://www.daintreeriverwildwatch.com.au/ Dom On 21 October 2014 08:05, Dominic Chaplin < dominicchaplin@bigpond.com> wrote:

Hi Inger, My 20 cents worth, it’s Murray, the Daintree River Boatman. My wife and I were out with him in November last year and despite ripping his toe nail off while launching the boat, and being in significant pain, he made sure we saw everything around the back waters as well as the Daintree

I’d have to agree there, although I’ve never done a tour with anyone else, Murray’s tour was excellent, informative and interesting. I stuck with him for the whole day (together with one other birder) and was not disappointed! Bill On Tue, Oct 21, 2014 at 9:05 AM, Dominic Chaplin < dominicchaplin@bigpond.com> wrote:
