5.00I returned to the Lady Douglas afternoon river cruise for crocodile spotting again after enjoying it with different friends 18 months ago. It’s a gentle trip on the water where you get an antipasto snack box with a drink while looking for crocodiles. Perfect for those who want something easy to do. The staff were very friendly and had great local stories.

5.00We were greeted by the tour operators with a happy friendly attitude first off. Served our complimentary drink first off (either soft drink or alcoholic beverage). Took off with an awesome commentary by the tour guide who was ultra informative. Served a share snack box of dips/fruit/crackers about half way. Saw 2 crocs on the cruise which was awesome. Would recommend 100%.
