    This was an amazing tour! We got to see loads of crocs and learn a lot of interesting facts about the area. Steve was really knowledgeable and funny! You could tell that the team was invested in the wellbeing of the local plants and animals, and they genuinely wanted everyone to learn something on the tour. The food was also super yummy :) We’d recommend this tour to anyone and everyone!

    The whole experience is brilliant - Stu was insanely knowledgeable about the land and river system. Awesome food and culture thrown in too. Got to see some tiny to big crocs. Worth it

    On the last day of the Whitsunday Islands, there was nothing extra to play on the water, so signed up for this day trip. It was possible to pick up and drop us off on the main street, after which we pulled down a farm. The first is to take a boat to see crocodiles, large and small very much. After that it was lunchtime, some roast meat, rice and all that stuff. Then in the afternoon go and see some local animals in their tour vans, like some birds and cows. Finally return to camp to taste the freshly baked cake. It's a more novel experience. Come and try it if you have extra time.

    Excellent wildlife experience through the Mangos and field as well as a cruise to spot Crocodiles on the estuary Proserpine River. Our guide has extensive knowledge of the flora and fauna in the area. Saw several bird species, Wallabies, and Kangaroos. Mostly small crocs but great all the same. Lunch and a bush stack was outstanding.

    Keep in mind that because nature is at play you may see many crocs you may not; we saw a few baby ones and one nesting croc. Wish we’d seen more but it’s not in the hands of the guides. Great day out otherwise.

    Fantastic day out with yummy BBQ lunch and afternoon tea with damper. Stu and Ian run a very smooth day. Stu is very knowledgeable about the area and animals, you cant help but learn something. We saw some lovely big crocodiles, as well as some hatchings and yearlings. The tractor tour through the wetland was also good fun.

    We did the Whitsunday Crocodile Safari while staying at Mirage Whitsundays and had a really good day. This is a relaxed, well-run experience rather than a high-octane wildlife chase. The boat trip along the Proserpine River is calm and scenic, and Steve, our guide, was excellent. Knowledgeable, entertaining, and full of stories about crocs, tides and river life. We spotted a smaller croc early on and then the main event, a 4.5-metre male called Gus, stretched out on the bank with his mouth open, absolutely owning the place. Back at camp there was plenty going on. Bush turkeys scratching around like they owned the joint, loads of birdlife, and a green tree frog discovered living his best life in the loo. Lunch was delicious, steak, chicken, barramundi and salads, with gluten-free options handled well. A short land tour, with loads of birds, wallaby spotting, an education on tree life and flooding, billy tea, and a bit of bush history rounded it out nicely. If you’re after a respectful, informative croc experience with plenty of local character and a few unexpected wildlife moments, this is a great option.

    The two-hour river trip is very interesting the guide told a lot about crocodiles. We saw a lot of small ones and a huge one going into the river right in front of us. On the relaxed day gate ride we hardly saw anything, but that's just nature

  • Would definitely recommend.

    This experience was really well organised and good value. Of course always at the mercy of Mother Nature as to what end up seeing, but the guide commentary was continuous and excellent. The meals, snacks and facilities provided were top notch.
