The whole experience was wonderful. Connie was a really lovely lady who was full of interesting information and clearly loved imparting this to all on board. Really loved seeing the special Jabiru couple (birds) and the white belly sea eagles and their spectacular nests. Thanks for a wonderful day Connie.

The tour guide, Evan, was so knowledgeable throughout the day. There were so many birds to observe and photograph, as well as coming across a croc on the bank. Evan was then able to give us so much information about the habits and physical structure of this female croc. The boat ride was the major feature of our first holiday in NT.

This is a great excursion. Our guide, Evan knows a lot and is very entertaining which makes this the perfect combination of funny and informative. We saw lots of different birds and other wildlife and although not the ideal time of the year we even saw a 3m saltie sunning on the banks. What more could you want!
