Corroboree Billabong Wetland Cruises - 2 timmars Sunset Cruise

Cam, our tour guide was very good. He spotted numerous salt water crocodiles and a few fresh water crocodiles and brought the boat in close so we could get good photos of the crocodiles. We did the lunchtime tour, the lunch was a mixed salad and quite good value. Highly recommended this tour.

My husband and I have done this tour many times (hubby is up to 9) with friends, family or just us. We love what this tour can be, Picturesque, Humbling, Beautiful, Majestic and worth every penny if you like nature and seeing our wonderful animals in their element, better if you dabble in photography. Cant recommend it enough, especially when they go further up the river systems.... However out of all the tour guides we've had and there's been a few different ones, I didnt rate this guy as knowledgeable or entertaining as previous guides. He didn't go to far up the river systems so missed seeing things we knew were farther up. He put his arm over the side into the water to grab a lotus leaf and waffle on about the studies being used for silk production, bullet proof vests and various other items while we had nothing to look at except crappy long grass.. Ahh croc infested water, warning at start not to do exactly what he did! Then went straight past the only buffalo right on the water edge to sit at a section of river for so long to watch the sunset (it wasnt even close to setting so the glare impeaded any ability to see for at least 20min). Saying all that, 1 not so great guide out of 9 trips will not stop us going again,, STRONGLY RECOMMEND THE TOUR. For us we will check which guide is on before booking!

What a fabulous afternoon out. Our guide Alan had a great sense of humour and was most informative. We learnt a great deal about flora and fauna in the area. Wonderful bird life in the Billabong. We enjoyed seeing the different crocs (some have their own names). Also wild boar and water buffalo. We’d return again. Maybe next time we will hire a Barbecue boat and replicate some of the routes we took with Alan.

Had a fantastic time on the Mary River wetland cruise! Booking online was incredibly easy and communication was great. The wetlands are absolutely beautiful and tranquil. We saw tons of bird species and plenty of both freshwater and saltwater crocodiles (apparently it's the highest density of crocs worldwide!). Our guide Allan was amazing--so knowledgeable and funny. We learned a ton and had a great experience!

Unfortunately minimal wildlife was seen. Significant wildlife scared off by speed of boat. Little time allowed to get photos before boat was in gear again and off. If you have opportunity to do Yellow Waters do it!

Great experience very informative and Stuart was excellent. We were very fortunate to get a beautiful sunset over the water. Thankyou

My wife, our daughter and I went on this cruise on Monday October 6, 2025 and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our time on the tour. Our guide Donny was excellent. Donny was/is very knowledgeable and informative of the history of the wetlands and local area, as well as the various plants, birds and other animals that inhabit the Billabong. We were lucky enough to observe a large male croc sunning himself on the riverbank and later on observed another large croc on the water's edge. We also saw a large buffalo at the water's edge. Well worth the drive out, thoroughly recommended.

Wow was very impressed ,would do this tour again fantastic value for money. Picked us up from our accommodation promptly Guide was very knowledgeable on the local wildlife. We got to see heaps of wildlife. And great pictures of them and the sunset don’t hesitate just book it.

What an incredible wetlands cruise! 🐊🦜 We spotted jacanas, jabirus, crocodiles, and so much more while soaking up the peaceful beauty of the billabong—Mother Nature at her finest. 🌿 Wetland Cruises really are the best in the Top End (and I’ve tried them all!). Donny, like all their guides, is full of knowledge and passion—you can see the pride they take in their work. I’ve been many times, and every trip feels special. Just a 90-minute drive from Darwin… yet it feels like another world.

Paul (former drummer and chef) was informative and the cruise went really well until towards the end when we sat on a bed of grass for 15 minutes being lectured to about the environmental damage humans have done and hearing all of Paul's opinions on the topic. We could have used that time to cruise further along and view more wildlife and appreciate the natural surroundings. We then had to go really fast to the sunset spot and didn't have a nice leisurely cruise back to the spot which would have been much more pleasant. Paul has a lot of knowledge, however he let his personal views take over a little too much.
