Holy Jumping Crocodiles!

Great skipper Damo and assistant Shano. Full of fun facts about crocs and their habitat. All safety instructions were clearly given. A good way to spend an hour on the Adelaide River.

Crikey!

Rod_T, Jan 2024

What a great time! The guides were knowledgeable and fun. We got to see 3 crocs, one up close thrashing about with the feeding. Had a pleasant boat ride down the river and even fed a kite right alongside the boat.

Crocs and crack ups!

Inez_M, Dec 2023

This was an awesome experience. The guide was very informative. Full of dad jokes and croc facts. Perfect ;). It was fun, educational and far too short. I could have stayed out there for much longer learning about each croc, their specific story and different personalities!! Highly highly recommend.

Crocodile Capers.

Colin_H, Jun 2023

Fun commentary, informative, with some crocodile action along the way. Well worth going to. I like the fact that the local aboriginal community benefits from the tours.

Great Wide Croc Experience

Rachael_M, May 2023

Did 2 days with the guys, they are right - no 2 days are the same! The first day we had heaps of action (Monday) and the 2nd day (Friday) the crocs were a bit shy! Heaps of fun, the boys were very entertaining :)

Touring with a Social Conscious

samantha_n, May 2023

There were two crocodile experience companies to choose from and we pick this one because it’s run by and money goes back to the aboriginal community. We had a great day! The tour was about an hour from our port so we took a cab and once there we had about an hour on the water with MANY crocs! Our videos were incredible and the guide made sure both sides of the boat had the same great time! We loved it and highly recommend them!

Thank you for choosing us Samantha! 💚🐊

Jumping Crocs - great experience

CatiaMarlene_D, Apr 2023

we were thrilled to see the jumping crocs. The guides were very friendly and funny. Additionally they had good knowledge about the crocs and their personalities (although their not pets is always interesting to know a little about them!!!)! We also had the opportunity to see different birds and they also feed the birds (great show!).

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you so much for joining us on the river! 💚🐊

Was a great day. The lady...

Kylie_A, Apr 2023

Was a great day. The lady at checkin and feeding the crocs was unpleasant. When asking a question it seemed an effort. Didn’t smile the entire time. The gentleman driving the boat was entertaining. Would have been 4 stars if it wasn’t for the unpleasant lady.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you for your feedback Kylie 💚🐊

Not to be missed

Estela_P, Mar 2023

Was an amazing experience to be so close to the croc but safe enough to enjoy the sight. Thank you for the enjoyable experience. I highly recommend this to anyone visiting Darwin.

It was amazing and...

Theresa_S, Feb 2023

It was amazing and intimate experience; the cruise boat was small had the chance to see crocs very closely. However, it was a bit scary as crocs can jump onto the boat as it was a bit small!
