Great day out, would highly recommend this tour. Evan our guide for the day was amazing and very knowledgeable. Didn’t rave on just for the sake of it. Good sense of humour and always made sure everyone got to see and take photos of wildlife. Lunch was very good too…. Although we only saw 1 fresh and 1 salty croc the cruise itself was enjoyable. So much to see and we were lucky enough to see Jabiru’s up close.Fantastic day exploring Wetlands Our guide Garry was very funny ( Evan) Very informative all about Darwin including covering the city’s history. Evan you are a walking encyclopaedia 😂 and made our day the best in Darwin. Definitely worth the money

From the beginning to the end of the experience it was fantastic. My 2 daughters and I booked for the 1 day tour and we all had an amazing time. Evan the guide was very knowledgeable and well versed in the history of Darwin and especially the wildlife. It was well worth booking a trip with them. We were picked up in the city and dropped back again. It was all very professional and well organised and money well spent learning a bit more about Darwin and what it has to offer. Definitely recommend it. ThanksWe were very pleased with our tour and our tour guide Evan. He has a wealth of knowledge in birds, crocodiles, fish and the billabong ecosystem.

Great day out. Very relaxed and informative guide Evan. Good stops along the way. Lunch was picked up at the Corroboree Park Tavern and we had individual lunch boxes filled with salad and cold meats - perfect for the boat. The cruise on the billabong was fantastic. Crocs, jabirus, sea Eagles, lillies, something around every bend. Highly recommendedHaving cruised Yellow Waters in Kakadu we were not sure if this Cruise would live up to that experience.

Having cruised Yellow Waters in Kakadu we were not sure if this Cruise would live up to that experience. We were picked up from our accommodation in Darwin at 9.00am and entertained on the 90 minute drive to Corroboree Billabong by Evan who provided a very interesting commentary on all things Darwin, history, culture and lots of humour. A stop at Fogg Dam for morning tea and at Corroboree Park Tavern gave ample time for comfort breaks and stretching of legs. The boat that cruises the Billabong is very well shaded and Evan was amazing at spotting crocs that we missed. He also pointed out lots of birdlife which really impressed the twitchers in our small group. Evan was able to get us up close to both the birds and the crocodiles so that everyone was able to get great photographs. He provided a very interesting commentary on the wildlife whilst on the cruise and seemed to know the names of all the birds we saw. Plenty of cold water on the shady boat made it very comfortable in the warm weather. A stop at the pub on the way back was appreciated, then a quiet drive back to the CBD, arriving home just after 5pm. The cruise exceeded our expectations, thanks to Evan.
