Our tour guide Rox was amazing. She provided a detailed tour all the way to the croc farm. And included jokes and humour. Bus was very comfortable. The croc farm was amazing. Mango ice blocks - yum. The boat guys and the jumping crocs were amazing. They were knowledgeable and funny. Loved the whole day.

My opinion

Gail_W, Apr 2024

The bus driver(Prem) and tour guide were both very good. The guides on the boat were informative, and answered any questions asked. Was not happy with look out over the flood plains it was dirty & we couldn’t go out side

Croc tour

Wayne_F, Mar 2024

Where to begin. Michael was absolutely fantastic. Full of information ,personality plus ,just one great guy.The tour was fantastic ,again wonderful hosts, and so exciting to see the crocs.Yes I would totally recommend this tour to anyone. Thank-you

LOVELY TRIP

Barry_L, Nov 2023

Very interesting afternoon trip. Nice drive to river with commentary by Driver Prem. Then the highlight of the crocodile cruise. The crocs weren't jumping very much and didn't seem that hungry; but they snapped their jaws enough to enable everyone to get some good photos. Nice to hear that the river operation is run by a charity putting profits back into the local community; and to be assured that everything is done in accordance with sound conservation principles.

Great Way to Beat the Heat

BNiner, Nov 2023

Aside from a nice bus tour with a good guide, the Jumping Crocs cruise made our day. Three crocodiles out in the river with a 5 meter/750 kg crocodile impressing us with his jumping.

Great Croc adventure

Francesco_I, Aug 2023

Great adventure. Crocs were amazing. The ability to see these amazing amilas in the wild was something I will always remember. Bus trip was a little long.

Not Just Crocs

Verity_P, May 2023

Great flood plain stop and the fog dam on the way back to Darwin, great bird life. Jumping crocs were great, also got to see a "tussle" between two females and the kites also visited, so majestic.

Fun day out with the crocs.

Trevor_F, Dec 2022

Great experience staff so friendly a nd knowledgeable bus driver was so good and showed and explained everything thing

Bustrip is better then if we went by car on our own.

Elinor_S, Oct 2022

Bus driver's friendly, kind nature, she is a good, people- person, explained a lot to us all the way in professional, fun way. The cruise guide with his fun nature and as a well explained crock trip by him. We couldn't see energetic crocks this time, as into maiting and wet season in Darwin.

Crocs galore

Janet_C, Aug 2022

The river boat was excellent great close up views of crocs no matter where you sat. The guides on the boat were knowledgeable and entertaining we really enjoyed it

Very entertaining boat...

Jumping croc’s

Barbara_M, Jul 2022

Great tour, if you want to see the biggest crocodiles around!!! Our Bus driver was very informative about the local bird life and Darwin surrounding areas. Highly recommend

The Croc Cruise was the winner.., wetlands thumbs down

Susie_D, Jul 2022

The bus driver wasn’t very enthusiastic until we went arrived at the Wetlands when he started talking about every bird great for people who are into birds. The best part of trip was the Croc cruise which was a lot of fun.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Thanks Susie for providing this feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your cruise down the Adelaide River for the Jumping Crocs experience. Thanks, Jacob from AAT Kings

Awesome experience

Michelle_D, Jul 2022

A great tour whilst travelling the top end. Awesome how both sides of the boat got to experience seeing the crocodiles jumping without an interrupted view.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Thank you so much Michelle

A great tour

Ian_H, Jul 2022

We had an amazing time. The commentary was excellent with a lot of humour added. The crocs were scary and definitely something you wouldn’t pat! A trip well worth doing!!

They sure do jump

Geoffrey_M, Jul 2022

Great day out, we took lots of pictures and received lots of information about the area and all the local wild life.

An OK activity

Michael_B, Jul 2022

Well organized, great driver, standard activity, NO MICROPHONE- could not hear the commentary AT ALL and this made the activity a lot less meaningful.

Jumping crocs.

grace_m, Jul 2022

Only witnessed 2 crocs.jumping.Not so many of them as the weather was not conducive.i expected to see a lot of crocodiles jumping as on the advert but none was closer to what was advertised.

Croc’s Live

noosaglades1, May 2022

Our tour was amazing We’d no sooner got into the boat when the Crocs were around.. great work by the staff to ensure we all had a chance at viewing the crocs jumping

Great exper

Phillip_B, May 2022

The croc tour and foggy dam were awesome. Unfortunately I left my expensive hat on the bus when I got out and the operator said their cleaners did not report a hat being found even though I left the bus and went direct to my room and realised it was missing. Great tour would recommend it otherwise. Don't leave anything on the bus.
