Our small group numbers (maximum 31) ensure personal contact with our experienced guides. The sound of nature is our background noise and you will feel like you are miles away from civilization, deep in the Australian bush. Cruise quietly along the Proserpine River and enjoy a wagon ride through the Goorganga Plains and experience the mangrove habitat of many species of flora and fauna, including the estuarine Saltwater crocodile.

    Important Information:

    • Crocodile sightings are not guaranteed because we operate in the crocodile's natural habitat, not in a fauna park or farm. But we offer the best chance of seeing crocodiles in the wild in Queensland because we run our cruise at the lowest point of the tide each day, which provides the best opportunity to spot crocodiles as they bask on the exposed river bank.
    • Departure times and itinerary are subject to change
    • Guests must be able to climb at least 25 stairs to enter and exit the wagon

    We will also endeavour to communicate these extra costs with you at the time of booking, and on your ticket. However, it is your responsibility to confirm which (if any) additional costs apply with each Service Operator upon reconfirming your trip.


    Travel Risk/Insurance:

    It should be noted that adventure travel involves risk. Whilst we make every effort to safeguard clients, we cannot be responsible for personal injury or loss due to the actions of our clients which are beyond our control. We highly recommend that all clients have travel insurance covering illness, injury, loss or damage to personal belongings and not being able to travel on the confirmed date of departure. You should also ensure your travel insurance will cover special circumstances including weather events preventing guests from travelling to their tour departure destination and cancelled flights due to unforeseen circumstances. 


    Transfers:

    The Service Operator reserves the right to limit courtesy transfers to select local accommodations. Private residences or Airbnb properties may be asked to meet at the closest confirmed location. Failure to meet at the specified pick-up location may be treated as “No Show”, for which the Client Cancellation Policy applies.

    Transfers between tours can be made at the suppliers discretion, however, it should be noted that supplier fees may apply. Tour transfers also incur a $20 administration fee. 

    It is compulsory that all cancellation requests are in writing and sent via email to admin@mr-travel.com. Cancellations attempted via online chat or phone will not be actioned.


    Supplier Cancellations:

    The Service Operator reserves the right to alter prices, alter itineraries, apply a fuel surcharge, cancel departures, arrange alternative transport and vary itineraries and services if necessary.

If the Service Operator has to cancel the trip or activity (prior to departure) and we cannot offer a suitable alternative, then a refund will be given minus a 20% administration fee and any associated card fees. We strongly recommend that you have travel insurance, especially during the wet season.

    In the unlikely event of your trip being cancelled or stood down, all guest communication is required to go through our Online Store via telephone or email. While there is a Sailing Whitsundays retail outlet located Airlie Beach, please be aware that they operate as a separate entity and are unable to access reservations made by the Mr Travel online department.


    Refunds:

    All refunds are in Australian Dollars and must be made to the card of payment. Sailing Whitsundays/Mr Travel is not liable for exchange rate fluctuations or fees, or any other merchant/bank fees associated with domestic and/or international transactions.

    Where a full refund is applicable, there is the option to transfer the whole cost of the tour to another tour or “Credit” to avoid the administration fee. A transfer fee of $20 will apply.

    You will be emailed confirmation once the refund has been processed. Once the refund has been processed, it may still take time for the banks to clear the amount. Please allow 7-10 business days for the funds to clear into Australian accounts and up to 21 business days for international accounts.


    Accountability/Misconduct:

    All Service Operators have the right to provide client feedback and to cancel bookings based off of feedback from other Service Operators. 

    Please enjoy your travel experience in a kind and responsible manner.

    Sailing Whitsundays/Mr Travel will treat this as any normal client cancellation and therefore the cancellation fees stated in the Client Cancellation Policy will apply.


    Thank you for booking with our East-Coast travel experts here at Mr Travel/Sailing Whitsundays. If you would like any further advice, assistance in arranging accommodation, transfers or additional tours please get in touch.

    This was a fabulous tour. The guide was so knowledgeable and obviously holds great affection for the crocs. The food was incredible. The afternoon wildlife tour was rather lacklustre.
    Monique Lee, 04 Jul 24
    Boat was beautiful/well set up for a sunny days experience. The 4 days we had it, it rained and was darkly overcast the whole time (I understand this is unusual). There wasn't sufficient equipment on board to deal with the damp/condensation. Rear berth was very small. 2 front berths awesome.
    Ulf Limoseth, 09 Mar 24
    Great smiling people that know their stuff. Saw som smal crocks but not the big ones. Great food???????? Anyway, there is no garanti for seeding the big Crocs. Thats nature??????. ????????
    Alison Dangerfield, 01 Nov 23
    Fantastic Tour! One of my favourite days spent in Airlie Beach yet! Booking and confirmation was easy, clear communication with pick up point and times. The tour itself was engaging, informative and inclusive. Tom went out of his way to make sure everyone got photo opportunities. Thank you
