Excellent
Really lovely place with friendly, welcoming service. Our guide was fantastic — extremely knowledgeable, engaging and clearly passionate about the crocodiles. This was honestly the best crocodile cruise we’ve been on, and we’ve been on quite a few!
Stumpy the crocodile was definitely the highlight — he was the best! He even seemed to enjoy getting his photo taken and gave us some fantastic photo opportunities.
Such a great experience from start to finish. Highly recommend
