The whole experience was wonderful. Connie was a really lovely lady who was full of interesting information and clearly loved imparting this to all on board. Really loved seeing the special Jabiru couple (birds) and the white belly sea eagles and their spectacular nests. Thanks for a wonderful day Connie.

Evan gave us some wonderful advice on the area with all its adversaries and his knowledge of animals plants & history was exceptional, we especially enjoyed the river cruise, the lunch was also delicious 🤤

The tour guide, Evan, was so knowledgeable throughout the day. There were so many birds to observe and photograph, as well as coming across a croc on the bank. Evan was then able to give us so much information about the habits and physical structure of this female croc. The boat ride was the major feature of our first holiday in NT.
