Wow!

5.00The tour was fantastic! Stu was incredibly knowledgeable and made the whole experience engaging with detailed explanations about the area and its wildlife. It is important to remember that you are visiting natural habitats, these are wild rivers and forests, not a zoo, so animal sightings can vary. But when you do come across a 4-metre wild crocodile in its own territory, it is absolutely unforgettable. If you are expecting guaranteed close-ups, a zoo tour might suit you better, but nothing compares to witnessing these animals in the wild. Oh, and the food was amazing!
Overhyped and under delivered by the provider overpriced for the experience
