I am an experienced and enthusiastic birdwatcher and amateur photographer with early morning bird tours and sunset cruises on the Daintree River and Barratts Creek, Stewart Creek and sometimes Joe Bairds Corner.

Having worked on the Daintree River for many years, in all seasons and weather, I have come to love and respect the river.  No matter how many times I go out on the river there is always something new to see and would do so for the next hundred years….. if that was possible.  It is that type of river, with all of its different eco systems, the rainforest and mangrove system, where you can see the amazing and beautiful bird life, snakes, frogs, lizards, turtles, butterflies, mammals, insects, epiphytes (plants that grow on trees) including the lovely orchids, and of course the renowned saltwater crocodile.

Being an experienced and enthusiastic bird watcher and amateur photographer, it gives me great pleasure and satisfaction not only for you to see the most birds possible, but also ensuring that you have the best photo opportunities

I would like to mention my time with Dan Irby of Mangrove Adventures. I am grateful for his training, his valuable knowledge of the Daintree River and his patience to my enthusiastic nature. Without his influence, I would not be the guide that I am today.

Alex is a keen wildlife ehnthusiast and photographer who first moved to North Queensland over 30 years ago and has been guiding in the region for 13 years. He lives near to the village in the Rainforest overlooking the river and often jokes that he spends more waking hours on water than on land

Alex now does most of the morning and afternoon tours as Ian 'Sauce' has semi-retired. He loves nothing more that helping guests see that new species for the first time, or getting that cracker photo.

As a side note, don't get Alex started on his other love of kayaking and surf ski paddling or you won't be able to shut him up.
