Absolutely fantastic - well worth the drive from Darwin. - Great lunch time cruise. Salad and cold meat for lunch was just perfect / cruising around looking at the bird life and crocodiles. So much to see.

Great Afternoon on Corroboree Billabong - We chose the lunch time cruise and weren’t disappointed. Our guide Cam was is clearly passionate about what he does and it shows. From the moment we sat on the shuttle from Corroboree Tavern Cam gave us many facts about the area and what to expect on our cruise. We were not disappointed at all. Plenty of wildlife, Crocs, Buffalo and a myriad of bird life. If you have time while in the area make sure you do this cruise.

Relaxing lunch shared with the wildlife of Corroboree Billabong - We had previously enjoyed the sunset cruise with "Meatloaf" our guide in August 2014. That was a beautiful cruise seeing lots of crocodiles and birdlife with the added bonus of a beautiful sunset. The lunch cruise being the hottest part of the day we did see less crocodiles and birdlife compared to the sunset cruise, we did however see a lot more buffalo close to the billabong. It was still a wonderful cruise being lucky enough to see a 5 metre crocodile and enjoying the wonderful knowledgeable and entertaining commentary "Meatloaf" our guide. We had a tasty lunch of salad and cold meat selection with bread as well if you wanted. It was a lovely relaxing cruise where we still managed to see some birdlife, an estuarine crocodile, Johnston's crocodile, water buffalo and a selection of birdlife. It may have had less wildlife than the sunset cruise but a much less stressful drive back to Darwin without having to worry about water buffalo and wallabies crossing or close to the Arnhem highway in the dark.

Snapshot of the NT wetlands flora and fauna - Knowledgeable guide made this amazing cruise interesting as well as picturesque. We saw both freshwater and estuarine crocodiles and amazing birds and dragonflies. Both lotus and water lilies were flowering, although sparsely. The lunch was a pack with salad and cold meats with bread and condiments offered to make our own salad or sandwich. It was a generous and delicious meal. Cold water was available on board. Certainly worth the cost for the lunch cruise given the length of time we had viewing this spectacular area.

Disappointed - The total time of the tour was less than 2-1/2 hours. The guide became a little snappy with a woman on the tour who pointed out a couple of specific items of interest. This then caused a silence on the boat and the woman did not offer to highlight any further items of interest. It was not necessary to speak to her like that.
