⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing day with Top End Safaris and couldn’t recommend them highly enough! The staff were exceptional and our tour guide was fantastic — knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. There was something for everyone, with our group ranging from 12 to 80 years old, and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. We saw a jabiru on its nest, freshwater and saltwater crocodiles, buffalo and an incredible variety of birdlife. Watching the crocodiles being fed was a highlight, and the helicopter flight was absolutely incredible and made the experience even more special. We were also treated to a fantastic buffet-style breakfast, and finishing the day with a swim in the infinity pool and a drink at the bar was the perfect way to top it all off. A huge thank you to our wonderful guide and all the staff at Top End Safaris for making the day so enjoyable and memorable. It was definitely one of the highlights of our Top End trip and an experience we won’t forget. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Picked up at Coolalinga. Great. Drive out about 1 1/2 hours. Introduction to guides. Saftey instructions done. Onto cruise boat, with huge, self serve breakie. Lots of photo opportunities. Next the air boat ride...spotting wild life again....back to land. Feeding of captured crocs. Lots of informative information. Back for refreshments and chopper rides....bused back to starting point. Great day out and thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you Top End
Fantastic experience to do for all ages. From pick up to drop off the experience does not disappoint. A must do
Fantastic tour and a lot of fun. Would highly recommend this tour for the young and old.
Great day from start to finish. Could not fault a thing. Good value for a day trip.
Great experience great people with a lot of knowledge of the area. Will do the overnight trip next year. Loved it!
This tour was perfect from start to finish. Was picked up by Jake and Kaia (dog) and the atmosphere was relaxed and friendly from the start. Once at base we met Danni and Oakley(dog). Danni and Jake where full of knowledge and both a pleasure to have as tour guides. You can tell they love what they do. Breakfast on the riverboat was great, plenty of food. The airboat was a blast, and they didnt rush through any part of the trip. Seeing the rescue cross and hearing their stories was interesting, such magnificent animals. Then back to base camp where we got to cool off in the pool with a drink while waiting for our helicopter ride. The day was perfect, couldn't have asked for more and have already recommend it. Would gladly do again when back in darwin. Thank you Jake and Danni.
Pick up time was not clear Thankfully Top End tours rang us and waited while we got ready poor service Viator
My husband and I had a great experience, ticked off a couple of bucket items, knowledgeable and friendly team. Nice food and definitely value for money
Other reviews have said it all. It's a fabulous day excursion with plenty to see and do: pontoon boat cruise, airboat ride, helicopter flight... It's especially great for people obsessed with crocodiles. Bird lovers will have to bring their own notes, as avian life, although present, does not get much mention. What makes this tour a stand-out is its relative affordability, especially compared to the Finniss River Lodge next door which offers some similar experiences, albeit at prices the average traveller could simply not afford. This is what the operators of Top End Safari Camp have to be congratulated on the most, providing a nature and wilderness adventure at a reasonable price.
