Crocodile spotting - Ray our guide has a dry sense of humour which had as laughing, he was informative regarding crocs, and knew where they lived along the river. The hour long trip was extra generous on the river and at the end we were given a simple lunch. Well worthwhile doing

Excellent intergenerational family activity - Great activity for the whole family! We had a fun time on the river with our knowledgeable guide who provided helpful information on the crocs and the region/ river system. Our group was also interested in the birds and our guide was happy to stop as we snapped photos of the beautiful herons, ducks and Kingfishers. We saw three crocs on our trip including big scarface.
The private location made check in and boat loading a breeze. It was nice to enjoy a cuppa tea/coffee before the cruise and enjoy the beautiful gardens on route down to the Dock.
