Testimonials Report

Hi, yesterday we did the 2.5 hours cruise with Sean as our guide. We were returning customers having done the same cruise last year. We had a visitor up from down south and in terms of value for money, amount of wildlife seen, and expert commentary and knowledge, this is by far the best cruise available in the NT.

Fantastic, informative evening! I recommend taking the shuttle from the local tavern for an additional $10 as you require a 4X4 to access the road to the tour. You can bring snacks and drinks which is great!

Enjoyed the location, the variety of birds there, and how amazingly close we were to them and our friends the crocs. Our guide was informative and humerus, and often glided right in for a close encounter. Definitely a no hands out of the boat tour!

The tour was excellent. Nature at its best without disturbing the animals and with zero heroics from the guide. Just the way these tours should be run.
Our guide was knowledgeable and worked hard to give us a great ride in the billabong and river.
We highly recommend this tour to NT visitors
