Crocs galore! - Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Evan, our guide, made the experience wonderful, with his knowledge of the natural & historical. Great sense of humour too! Absolutely amazing to get so close to Australia's largest apex predator. So glad the boat didn't sink! Maxine & Stuart

Lunch cruise with mates from down south - Took some mates up from south for a lunch time tour, Evan was a great guide and obviously very passionate about his job and the knowledge he shared with the group. Lunch was enjoyed by all as well. Highly recommended!

GOOD BILLABONG CRUISE OFF THE ROAD BETWEEN DARWIN AND JABIRU - We were picked up by a small bus at The Corroboree Park Tavern and driven to the nearby billabong. The covered boat was comfortable and we were served a more than adequate box lunch. The female guide was very good and explained everthiing about the birds and crocodiles in the billabong. We only spotted a few crocodiles but there were lots of birds.

Nature at its best - What a fantastic day on the Billabong Adam was a knowledgeable guide with an easy way of explaining sites and animals we saw. Lunch was provided that was great on a hot day. The range of flora and fauna was way above what we expected.

WETLANDS CRUISES and Evan ARE THE BEST - I have been on Wetlands Day Cruise twice with friends, since moving to the Territory and this time I took two friends on the lunch cruise on our way to our Litchfield break.
Every time I have had the tour guide EVAN, and he is perfect for the role he does. Friendly, knowledgeable, people focused, clearly engaged with his topic areas (Darwin, wildlife, birds etc). He is a typical authentic Australian guy: dad jokes and all.
Every visitor has really loved the cruise. Full of crocs (in their natural state) and endless birds. Really beautiful to take it all in.
It is money well spent, to take in the beauty, relax over an informal lunch, get some great pic's but also to gain a lot of local insights from an informed and motivated guide.

Brilliant cruise - Booking the tour was easy thanks to Andrew. Meeting the bus at Corroboree and taken to the billabong, we were in safe hands with Evan. He looked after us on the cruise pointing out many bird species, finding crocodiles, providing a very yummy lunch and ensured we enjoyed our cruise. Many thanks, we had a lovely day.

Best nature tour we’ve done - Having done nature cruises in Myanmar, Sabah and other parts of the world, this tour, hosted by Evan of Wetland Cruises, was up there with the best. It was certainly the most comprehensive, interesting and entertaining commentary we have ever experienced and the scenery and wild life were superb. The lunch was generous with attention paid to individual dietary requirements. A fabulous experience.

Great start to our Kakadu adventure - Evan, our guide/driver was exceptional. He was extremely knowledgeable about everything and liked to add in some (Dad) jokes to the commentary. So much flora and fauna, crocodiles (not cruel jumping), just in their normal habitat. Lunch was fresh and plentiful.
Cannot recommend more highly!
