Wildlife & Scenery

Lady Douglas travels several kilometers through the un spoilt mangrove channels of Dickson Inlet where you can experience and learn about the fascinating estuarine habitat typical of Australia’s far north. Crocodiles are normally seen on over 90% of trips, especially in the dry season.

There are also likely wildlife sightings of sea eagles, kites, ospreys, kingfishers, herons and waders.

Each river trip passes the scenic Port Douglas waterfront and harbour with stunning coastal views of the rainforest clad mountains. On sunset trips we tend to spend a bit more time in this area to enjoy the sunset views.
