Amazing cruise! - An amazing experience. The whole day went according to plan. We were picked up at our hotel and driven to Corroborree Billabong with a pit stop on the way at Fogg Dam Reserve. Our guide/driver/everything was Evan who made the day with his knowledge of the Territory, flora, fauna and everything in between. We boarded the boat for the cruise and immediately found many varieties of birds to observe, together with the mandatory crocodiles. This continued for the next few hours. Stunning billabong, quiet cruising and a fabulous, packed lunch, courtesy of a nearby pub. A wonderful experience and a great way to experience Wetlands within easy distance of Darwin.

Excellent day tour - The tour was excellent and actually exceeded expectations. The guide Evan was first class and it was his knowledge and ability to identify all the birds and crocodiles that made the full day tour so worthwhile.

Brilliant tour! - Evan was the most brilliant cruise operator and guide. His love of his job is evident and he was so knowledgeable passionate about the wetlands and wildlife, even identifying crocs by their distinct names. We learnt a great deal about this beautiful area and have a Newfoundland respect for the flora and fauna.

Very interesting with a fun guide - Lots of fun and very informative tour. Our guide Meatloaf knew something about everything. Managed to see quite a few crocodiles and got some great pics.
Lunch was pretty average, but the trip made up for that.

Highlight of trip to Darwin - This tour was the highlight of our trip to Darwin. It's not too far out of the city and is well worth a visit if you have just a few days. Evan, our guide, was passionate and kept us entertained the whole time. We stopped first at Fogg Dam where we saw lots of bird life and learned about the ecology of life there. The stop at the pub was welcome, where we could grab a coffee, then on to the Billabong. Amazing scenery with plenty of lilies in bloom, crocodiles and bird life. Lunch provided was also excellent. Can't recommend this tour highly enough.

An absolutely fantastic Top End experience! - Today's Billabong Wetland Experience was the reason I wanted to visit the Northern Territory. Our guide Evan was sublime and would be hard to surpass. He relayed a constant and very relative amount of information which was fantastic to be an recipient of. His knowledge of the area, the fauna and culture was exemplary . I was truly impressed and would have to say this was what I came to Darwin to experience!! I would absolutely recommend this tour to everybody!!!
