Brilliant

Robert_N, Feb 2024

Excellent informative commentary both to and from the Adelaide River, and the rough looking, but entertaining boat captain was brilliant. He answered every question thrown at him with humour and accuracy. 👍

The bus driver, Leigh, was extremely knowledgeable and shared lots of stories and interesting facts with us. The jumping crocs tour was good fun and we got to see some hungry crocodiles up close.

No crocodiles

Ramsina_M, Nov 2023

We only saw 2 crocodiles and this would be because you don’t actually feed them you tease them. Nothing like the photos you advertise.

Wonderful

Crocs in the river

Debra_H, Nov 2022

Driver to the river cruise, and guides on the river were very friendly. We enjoyed the river adventure, many crocs and hawks around, but mostly because they are fed. Small amount of people on the boat which was nice to get some good pics. Our driver dropped us off at the pier first since we on cruise ship, very accommodating and appreciated.

Fabulous place to visit.

Angela_S, Aug 2022

Perfect day. Great people who knew what they were talking about. Amazing crocs jumping to see and you are safe from them.

Stumpy the Croc and Ben...

Terrific Experience

Katrina_B, Jun 2022

Friendly and informative Tour Guide. Enjoyed wetlands cruise and croc experience amazing. All round a terrific trip ending with a stop of at Humpty Doo Hotel for a drink & chat with locals. Thanks

Jay was our bus driver...

SHANE_P, May 2022

Jay was our bus driver very knowledgeable and friendly. Wookie was our cruise boat guide who was excellent. Made our hour tour on the river enjoyable with his off slider Steve enticing the crocs with feed. They made sure both sides of the boat could see the action without leaving our seats so no one missed out.

Great half day tour from Darwin.

Brendan_V, Apr 2022

Great half day tour Tour guide meatloaf was extremely knowledgeable, informative and engaging. Been doing it for 30 years and his relaxed manner, whilst reinforcing the cultural and historical backgrounds was fantastic. Small group, so it’s more personal the experience. The boat transfer was seamless. A good hour on the river with 3 crocs being jumped and some feeding of kites. Great day. Highly recommend.
