This was a great tour. The crocodiles were not out in big numbers, but the crew managed to get three of them interested enough to come out to meet us. It was spectacular watching these massive creatures coming up out of the water, and having a go at the meat hanging tantalisingly close to them. The almighty 'clunk' as the jaws of the biggest male slammed shut gave me the shivers actually. I think everybody on the boat enjoyed themselves. The 'skipper' gave us a very good commentary, and the Croc-master offering the grub to the reptiles, gave a virtuoso performance of a Fish Kite's whistle, luring a couple of them to fly in and take tidbits mid-air! Later we stopped at the beautiful nature reserve at Howards Springs, and fed the fish. The tour guide, Roman, was very jovial and well versed in the local history and features. A top day out. I would reccomend highly.

The bus driver(Prem) and tour guide were both very good. The guides on the boat were informative, and answered any questions asked. Was not happy with look out over the flood plains it was dirty & we couldn’t go out side

Very interesting afternoon trip. Nice drive to river with commentary by Driver Prem. Then the highlight of the crocodile cruise. The crocs weren't jumping very much and didn't seem that hungry; but they snapped their jaws enough to enable everyone to get some good photos. Nice to hear that the river operation is run by a charity putting profits back into the local community; and to be assured that everything is done in accordance with sound conservation principles.

Aside from a nice bus tour with a good guide, the Jumping Crocs cruise made our day. Three crocodiles out in the river with a 5 meter/750 kg crocodile impressing us with his jumping.

Great adventure. Crocs were amazing. The ability to see these amazing amilas in the wild was something I will always remember. Bus trip was a little long.

The tour was very disappointing due to the crocs sunny themselves and was not interested in food. The tour guides did their best but to no prevail. We felt the tour was totally over priced. A bus ride to the river and then a side trip back to base....not even given a bottle of water.....as mentioned totally overpriced.

Great flood plain stop and the fog dam on the way back to Darwin, great bird life. Jumping crocs were great, also got to see a "tussle" between two females and the kites also visited, so majestic.

legra48

The male crocodile was really big and had strong jaws. The female was smaller and seemed to be able to lunge out of the water easier and further than the male as it wasn’t so heavy. It was interesting to see how the black kites arrived for any scraps of meat which they took on the wing.
