Living in Japan during the early 2000’s, B and Yayoi took the opportunity to travel and research developing the concept for the Butterfly Shop’s inception. Early versions of the store were proven in Japan but it wasn’t until their return to Australia in 2010 that B & Yayoi were compelled to truly express and the Butterfly Shop was established. Now married and with a young family B & Yayoi lavish the lush Nth Queensland and like most up this way enjoy the rainforest, beaches and tropical islands whenever possible. “Our hope is to give our customers a truely honest experience, a genuine feeling of contentment and the desire to return in the near future”.

Bruce Belcher's Daintree River Cruises offer a one-hour wildlife cruise. We are keen bird watchers and have a good eye for crocodiles and tree snakes, with crocodiles being spotted 98% of trips, particularly in cooler months. We operate from our home on the banks of the Daintree River in a secluded wildlife boutique facility. Come and relax in our garden room, listen to the surrounding wildlife and enjoy a complimentary Daintree tea or coffee. Peruse our great selection of souvenirs and meander through our lush tropical garden to our private jetty to board our vessel for a personal guided tour with Bruce's 24 years experience on the Daintree River. As a small Aussie family business we offer a personalised service. Come and visit us soon.
