Tour of the Year - This had to be the best tour ever. Evan, hysterically funny, was the most knowledgeable, and interesting tour guide. From the moment we stepped onto the bus to drop off later he kept our small group totally enthralled by his commentary. Corroboree Billabong was the most beautiful place with an abundance of life; birds, fish, crocodiles. Evan even found one in the water approaching Fogg dam. A freshie and how he spotted it was incredible. I would highly recommend this tour to anybody, and if every guide was similar to Evan you will all have the best time.

A Great Experience - My wife and I total enjoyed this tour. Evan our driver/guide/boat captain was excellent. We were getting off a cruise ship. Our disembarkation was delayed. Evan called us and waited for our arrival at our pick up point. We apologized for keeping the group back...we are never late. We were able to make up the lost time. The cruise was very interesting. There are many birds and crocs. I would highly recommend this tour.

Great day out - A fantastic day out. Our tour guide, Evan, was very knowledgeable on the area. We didn't feel rushed during the tour and had plenty of time at all the spots for photos and relaxing. The cruise itself was great, and again, done at a leisurely pace. AAA+++

The Best Day in the Top End! - This truly exceeded our very highest expectations! Evan, our guide, had so much knowledge, and how he managed to show us all those birds at close proximity was truly amazing. We had so many birds within 3 metres, crocs lolling the water near the boat. Really a fantastic day and I recommend it very highly.

Excellent guide, wonderful day - We were picked up from the CBD, which was super convenient for our Fathers Day adventure. Evan, our tour guide was great. He knew so much about the region, the history, the wildlife, and the people. At Fogg Dam we saw ants and spiders (which Evan identified), as well as crocs, pigs, buffalo, egrets, kites, hawks, and jabiru. Evan also identified some of the trees and vines in the monsoon forest. The Adelaide River cruise was terrific. So much to see. Great commentary. We even saw a salt water crocodile lunching on a darter (a bird). Water lilies along the banks. Brolgas, jacanas, ducks, whistling kites, darters, a white bellied sea eagle, and lots of jabiru. The lunch which was supplied was fresh and delicious. Plenty of cold water to drink. Evan explained the calendar used by the indigenous people of the region. Then a smooth drive back home. This tour was wonderful.

Very Good day out to the Wetlands - This 1 day tour from Darwin is a great way to see the wonders of nature and fantastic wildlife without spending a long time travelling on a bus. The 2.5 hours on the water was not rushed and you had plenty of time to soak it all in. Our guide for the day "Evan" was full of all sorts of info being relevant, topical and a bit of fun along the way too. Tour well suited to families with older children and people with mobility issues.
