Chose the Wetland Cruises 1 day Corroboree Billabong Tour. From the pickup (and drop of) from my accommodation, to the bus trip and cruise our tour guide/driver, Connie was a woman of great experience, humour and an amazing knowledge of Darwin and surrounds and the wildlife and fauna of the wetlands. (5+ stars for her). Drove past 'The Boxing Croc' statue at Humpty Doo. First stop Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve where we viewed buffalo, birds and fauna. A sweet mandarin was a nice treat there. On to Corroboree Park Tavern was morning tea (and afternoon tea on return journey) lovely coffee, ice cream or a cold drink. Two crocodiles and buffaloes to see in grounds. A few four trailer road trains to view. Onwards to the main tour highlight - two and a half hour cruise on Corroboree Billabong, as part of Mary River system. Included a nourishing lunch box and plenty of cold water. On a boat almost at water level, Connie showed us the wonders of nature on the billabong, with plenty of stops to view the fauna and wildlife. We saw about 10 crocodiles, buffaloes, wallabies, lizards, a variety of birds including the white bellied eagle seen in flight and on the nest and a variety of fauna including very pretty flowers. Thankyou to Wetland Cruises and Connie for a remarkable day and opportunity to experience nature in the wild

An amazing journey through the billabongs seeing birds and crocs and vegetation in all their dry season glory. Our tour guide Allen was excellent.

EllieJayTravels

We didn't have a lot of time but wanted to get a small taste of the Territory beyond Darwin - and this was the perfect half-day option. We had breakfast at the Tavern then caught the shuttle, and spent a fantastic 90 minutes on the water. Allan is a friendly, laidback and knowledgeable guide, and made sure that everyone in the boat (about 15 of us) got a chance to see all the highlights. There are no gimmicks or bells and whistles on this cruise - just peaceful gliding about the billabong, seeing and learning about crocs, birds (kites, eagles, jabiru, egrets etc), various flora, etc. I just wish I had taken my telephoto lens to take advantage of the many amazing photo opportunities. Good value - highly recommended.

The entire experience was mesmerising and Allen our host for the 10am wetland tour is a man of wit and wisdom. Such a great knowledge the Corroboree wildlife and waterways. This is a special tour ..

Beat O

It was possibly the best cruise ever . The cruise did not include idiotic practices such as making crocodile jump. The tour guide demonstrated a good understanding of the local environment and was able to explain it to travellers in easy to understand language. We felt that the tour operator has a lot of respect for the environment and is proud to be able to share it with tourists and travellers. If you do one thing in the Territory, make sure to take a short cruise with Corroboree Billabong. Please do NOT SUPPORT JUMPING CROCODILE CRUELTY!

We did a one hour version of this cruise at the star of a 5 day Kakadu tour and it was a great start to the tour with sightings of crocodiles and an impressive range of birds in a wetland environment. We saw, amongst others, jacans, jabirus, sea eagles, and egrets.

Watching the animal and plant life on the billabong and absorbing the wealth of knowledge our guide Danni had

We had Allen as out boat driver and tour guide. He was a fountain of knowledge, and spoke extremely well on a variety of subjects. His safety spiel was humorous yet got the point across to everyone. It was a magical tour and we saw everything that the brochure promises. The bird life was spectacular. We would recommend this cruise to anyone who enjoys learning about our vast and varied land.

This was a highlight of our trip to the NT. Well worth the early alarm heading off from Darwin. The scenery is spectacular and the guide was both informative and entertaining. We loved every minute of it. Memories I’ll never forget.
