Our tour guide Donny was terrific - very knowledgeable and friendly and funny. Knew where to locate the wild life and pointed out things we would never have seen or noticed. A great cruise - highly recommend
I did this with my aged mother who uses a walking stick she boarded the boat with ease, with a bit of help from the friendly skipper. We sat at the front of the boat and wasn’t able to easily hear the commentary that well, however that did not detract from the superb experience of being surrounded by an ABUNDANCE of wildlife! Just blown away by the amount of crocs and birds, and the variety there of. I will be doing it again very soon with my young grand child.
Thanks for the wonderful review, Linda. We are pleased to hear your mother was stable getting on board. The wildlife on the wetlands is incredible at this time of year. The crocs really know how to put on a show! We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Beautiful sunrise over the corroboree billabong - well worth getting up early for a special experience - amazing birdlife and lots of crocs. Guide Donny was fantastic- lots of information and local knowledge.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. Sunrise is such a magic time over the Wetlands. We will pass your wonderful feedback on to Don. We hope to see you again soon.
Highly recommend this cruise. Sandy (skipper) was knowledgeable about the wildlife and the history of the billabong. Saw a lot of crocodiles and birds. A lovely tour.
Hi Anna, Thank you for the lovely review. Sandy loves to show our guests around the beautiful wetlands we operate in and share her knowledge of the area. We hope you can visit again some time.
Very entertaining morning cruise, great commentary and loads of wildlife. Highly recommended.
Hi Roberta, thank you so much for your review. We are very glad to hear you enjoyed your cruise. The wildlife and scenery out on the billabong is definitely a very special experience!
Excited to go out on the billabong for the sunset cruise at the end of the wet season when there is lots of water around. The environment is so different at this time of year. The sunset was brilliant with cloud cover and some hint of rain around. Donny was a fountain of knowledge and was very patient with finding the birds hiding in the trees, we would sit and watch and enjoy the serenity of the environment. Highly recommend the tours.
Thank you for your review. The sunset cruises are absolutely a very special time of day to experience the billabong. Donny's certainly very knowledgeable, he loves getting to share this beautiful part of the world with people. We are so glad you enjoyed your tour!
If you are lucky enough to get Donny as your guide you are in for a real treat, he is very knowledgeable about the billabong and all the incredible wildlife you spot along the way. He is a master of allowing you to be in the moment and enjoy the serenity of the silence (bird noises only). The sunrise cruise was amazing and so many animals starting their day. Donny is a really good communicator and got those everyone to share their knowledge of the birds we encountered.
Hi There, Thanks so much for that lovely 5 star review and recommendation. Donny is great isn't he, and he loves to show off his backyard and enjoys it all as much as you do.. We hope to see you again one day.
Cruise was spectacular seeing the crocodiles and birds in their natural environment Very relaxed and entertaining! A must see !
Hi Sheryl, Thanks so much for that great review and recommendation. The Wetlands and tour are a special part of Darwin.
It was a great trip ! The guide was funny and gave clear explanations. We learned many things about crocodiles and the river. We had time to take photos. I saw crocodiles relaxing near the water, it was amazing to see them in nature ! The view along the river were also very beautiful. The boat was safe and comfortable. This cruise is perfect for people who like nature and animals. I really enjoyed it and recommend it to everyone.
Hi Ema Thanks for your great review and high recommendation! We hope you got some fantastic photos and are so glad you enjoyed a relaxing cruise on the beautiful Corroboree Billabong :)
An enjoyable tour. Easy parking with our van. Relaxed atmosphere. Good commentary, interesting information which explained things and responded actively to people's questions. Lots of crocodiles - highlight was a particularly large crock. Lots of birds around the water. Would definitely recommend this one - easy reach from Darwin as a day trip.
Hi Erich Thanks so much for the high review and rating. Corroboree Billabong is a beautiful area and we are so happy to be able to share it with our guests.
