Woohoo, what a buzz - Woohoo, what a way to cool down on a hot day, with some action and sightseeing. Anton was our captain and his own excitement and love for his job overflowed onto us. Loved hearing Anton speak about the mangroves and local area with some interesting facts I never knew. You will definitely get drenched in such a fun way, so go prepared and have fun doing burn out's on the mud flats too.

Was going for drinks afterwardsā€¦that soon changedā€¦. Drenched!!!!!! - Took off from the dock in the yellow beast where we did 360s and a dive!!! Then we changed to the air boat where we went into the mangroves and skimmed across the mud flats. Our guide Anton was funny, friendly, knowledgeable and extremely helpful when changing boats. Wish I had taken my phone (no waterproof cover!!) glad I didnā€™tā€¦.. absolutely drenched!!! Loved this.

Great experience - Our guide Anton was great, he explained very thing to us every step of the way. Expect to get wet. Donā€™t bring any valuables with you if you donā€™t need to. We saw some crocs as well on the day. My daughter loved it and wants to go again. ā€œIt was the best!ā€ She says

Exciting boat trip out - Such a great few hours out on the water. We had the best tour guide named Anton who was super funny and taught us about Darwin mangrove system and crocs. Would definitely come back to such an awesome experience and the tour guides energy, knowledge and humour made it even better.

Fantastic jetboat/air boat adventure - Just had the most amazing hour, first on the jet boat for turns, spills and dives, thanks to Anton our driver we did get a little bit wet, little did we know what he had in store for us on the way back! Then onto the airboat for a little meander down the mangroves, checked out a trap, but alas no croc in there, then some adrenaline pumped 360 degree turns on the mudflats before jumping back on the jetboat for the return back to the wharf and a dunking that left us all very, very wet. Loved every second of this adventure, and what made it all the more special was we got to Matt Wright himself, I am such a big fan of him and his family and the croc show he does, it just made me adventure even more special. Thoroughly recommend this adventure šŸ˜

Darwin by Jet boat - Anton couldnā€™t have been more helpful as getting into a boat thatā€™s madly rocking in the unseasonal chop is not for the coordinatedly challenged. The jet boat experience was a rush & though Iā€™ve experienced the 360 spins before I didnā€™t realise that jet boats could dive! Spoiler alertā€¦you will get wetā€¦you will get saturated! We were disappointed with the air boat however. A cruise through the mangroves was fascinating but too short. Powering along the mudflats & spotting a wide variety of bird life was wonderful but then we just sat in one place & spun aroundā€¦and aroundā€¦and aroundā€¦and around & frightened all the bird life away. Not interesting or comfortable at allā€¦ Save the exhilaration for the jet boat & keep the airboat for exploring the unique wildlife that calls the mangroves home.
