4.00Highly recommended. Saw numerous crocs up close and personal. Also kites and eagles. The boat was basic but suited to the tour and easy to see the wildlife. Our guide was friendly and very informative. He clearly had an affinity for the animals. It’s a long drive in off the sealed road on a very dusty rotten track. Not great for two wheel drive cars. The guide really needed a microphone to be heard clearly throughout the tour, especially when he was walking up and down the boat. Very enjoyable experience nonetheless.
A Darwin must do for families

5.00The guide, Jake, was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We saw plenty of crocs up close, the first one within minutes on the water. Small group so everyone got to see. Jake was also very knowledgeable about other wildlife out on the water lands
