Alex, our driver, was pleasant and informative as was the jumping Croc boat operator. However, be aware, if you're a bit on the short side and have bad legs, like me, the step into the coach was very high and made entry and exit a bit difficult and make sure you get a seat near the driver, I'm hard of hearing and due to screaming kids I missed quite a bit of his commentary. Apart from this I highly recommend it
The croc parks are fun but you've really got to see those bad boys cruising around in their natural environment to properly appreciate how impressive they are.
River cruise was informative and very interesting, just wouldn’t have wasted my time and money being picked up by the bus. We spent 2 hours on the road but drove right past were we were staying down on the highway for 1 hour on the river. It was only after we booked we realised we had to go right into the city, find parking and then waste time on the bus. Fine for people who are carless in the city. For us out further down the highway in a caravan park - we should have just driven ourselves, saved time and money. Nice that you got a free tea or coffee on arriving at the river. Could have skipped Humpty Doo stop on way back.

Just as described! Giant crocs as soon as you pull away from the dock. The guide turns the boat so that all parricipants can get good pics. Fun time!
