5.00The team were super friendly and knowledgeable. We missed our departure time due to going to the wrong place (make sure to double check your map!), but they fitted us in the next boat no bother. Within minutes of leaving the jetty we saw “the dominator” - a super huge crocodile. The hour was filled with crocs and wildlife. Great trip: just beware to get there you go down a long off road track to get there, but that in itself is a pretty drive.
Excellent cruise

5.00This adventure was a true crocodile encounter! We saw up close, but within the safety of our boat, the stealth, strength, size and agility of crocs in the wild. Loads of fun for all ages, John’s insightful and entertaining commentary was complimented by the excitement of a 4-year old fellow passenger!
Fantastic time !!
