Why you should choose the ORIGINAL JUMPI G CROCODILES!
Tick of a poodle👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
This was a fabulous experience. The guide was knowledgeable and the crocodiles certainly put on a show for us. The boat was clean and sturdy which helped us to feel confident in our safety. Not only were the crocodiles amazing but the kites (birds) were an added bonus.
Such an excellent way to learn about our native wildlife.
We also enjoyed a delicious lunch afterwards.
Would most definitely recommend this company to anyone, you will not regret it!!!

Not too bad, but have been on better ones in Darwin
Facilities were clean and well looked after, staff were great and a nice little Cafe too. Not many crocs unfortunately, but the jokes and information were good.

Great experience
Great experience - suitably scary for everyone, the guides are very knowledgeable and full of stories about each croc. Air-conditioning inside the boat and the glass lwts you get really close to the crocs when they jump. Highly recommend

Fantastic Croc Tour
A fantastic tour with many crocodiles seen and some fed. Very interesting with knowledgeable guides. We had a wheelchair bound guest and they went out of their way to assist her getting on and off the boat ensuring she had a very enjoyable tour also. We appreciated their kindness. Highly recommend this tour, we loved it.

Close encounters never to be forgotten!
The boat was comfortable and cool. We sat down below with the crocs jumping right next
to us, if the glass wasn’t there I could have reached out and touched a jumping croc! The river is magical and the guide was informative but also funny, with a relaxed
style.
I feel it is excellent value for such a unique experience! An hour goes quickly but pack wow what an hour!
