The former Sydney carpenter’s connection to the ancient river system (known as Julaymba to the First Nations Kuku Yalanji) has grown so deep that dozens of crocodiles now recognise his voice, earning him the nickname ‘The Saltie Whisperer’.
While there’s no absolute guarantee of sighting a croc, there’s a good chance of spotting these remarkable creatures either above water or down below via the boat’s unique Croc Cam. Crocs aside, there’s a spectacular ecosystem of unique wildlife to be explored through David’s expert guidance.
David has inspired a cult following across the globe with his daily updates of the animal soap opera that he has called Days of the Daintree. The tongue-in-cheek chronicles are underpinned by a serious philosophy of sharing David’s passion for wildlife, photography and conservation. Meet Scarface, Lizzie and the rest of the cast on Instagram.
