Daintree Spirit.

Please Note the business is under new management as from 1st July 2010. . The new owner / operators Gordon and Gail would welcome the opportunity to meet you. Please visit this sight regularly there will be regular updates of photographs and new tours and promotions as we rebuild the business.

Gordon and Gail recently purchased 2 Daintree operations, Nice n Easy tours and also the Daintree Rainforest Rivertrain, hence the new all encompassing name Daintree Spirit.  We can now offer you two completely different experiences along the Daintree River with two completely different vessels. 

 The original and iconic Spirit of Daintree, The Rivertrain, was launched on 1st August 1987, by the Patterson family, so it has had 23 years  of continual  operation on the Daintree River. Apart than minor repairs, it is still in almost original condition. The renamed Daintree Spirit, formally Nice n Easy is  a much smaller and more intimate vessel with a license to carry 20 passengers.  If you are really interested in the environment, this small intimate boat has the smallest Carbon Inprint of all the vessels on the river, using  only 10 litres of fuel per day.

 Gail and Gordon welcome the opportunity to meet any past clients of the Rivertrain and hope to build a new foundation on any broken bridges from the past.

A Rainforest that has evolved uninterupted for 135 million years.
A river with uniquely adapted vegetation dating back 35-40 million years.
Crocodylus Porosus, the oldest (and largest) living reptile still on earth, unchanged for over 100 million years, with fossil records dating back almost a quarter of a billion years, commonly called Saltwater Crocodiles!
