We did this tour off a... - We did this tour off a cruise ship. Geoff is knowledgeable and friendly. We didn't get to see a lot of buffalo and crocodiles but only because it was so wet. Great tour to do to get away from Darwin and see the wetlands. Would recommend to anyone

Look About Darwin - Geoff was a wealth of knowledge and he made the tour a lot of fun! We saw so much wildlife and his added pictures he takes and distributed to everyone were amazing. The lunch break at the Humpty Doo Tavern was an added bonus. Don’t miss the sliders of barramundi, water buffalo and crocodile!

Wildlife Spotting - Our guide drove to various habitats around the Darwin area pointing out Water Buffalo, marsupials, birds and such. He shared a considerable amount of knowledge about the local history and the animals we saw.

Professional tour with good pictures for memory - First of all, I was glad I booked this tour via Tripadvisor before I arrived in Darwin. When I visited the tourist information centre at Darwin city centre, they told me most of the local tours were canceled due to flooding. I received a clear WhatsApp message from Jane of the tour company about the pick up time and location one day prior to the tour. Geoff who was the driver and the tour guide was friendly and professional. I quite liked the idea of this tour having each passenger to sit adjacent to the window to have a better view throughout the tour. Geoff provided useful information and insight throughout the tour and there was no boring time. He talked with everyone to engage us. We sat down to have drinks and lunch together for chit chat. We only had 5 passengers including myself, like a semi-private tour. It was the first time I had received photos taken by the tour guide after the tour. The photos were professional and better than those I took. They leave me a good memory of Darwin surroundings. Overall, I enjoyed the tour very much and appreciated Jane and Geoff for their professional services making my time enjoyable in Darwin.

A not to be missed tour - This is one of the best tours I have ever taken. I learned so much about Darwin and the wildlife. If you have a question, Geoff has the answer. He knows where to go to see the wildlife, including but certainly not an all inclusive list, buffalo, crocodiles, wallabies, and all sorts of different birds. The dinner at the Humpty Doo Tavern was excellent and I felt more like I was having dinner with friends than being on a tour. Thanks Geoff for sharing your knowledge and showing us around Darwin.

Fantastic experience from... - Fantastic experience from start to finish. With a small group of five, Geoff made the learning about Darwin, wetlands and wildlife, both fun and memorable. Flexibility when seeking wildlife is the key and Geoff made it happen. Thanks for the excellent organization and communication (Jane) and such a convivial Darwin Tour (Geoff).

Great guide, fabulous birds and history - Fabulous day. Geoff was a great guide- knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining. We booked for the small group but due to a cancellation we got a private tour! We saw some interesting WWII sites. The Fort Hill reserve was beautiful. Geoff made sure we took our time, saw lots of birds, and even a croc. 100% would recommend.

An excellent experience - Geoff, our guide was extremely good and professional in guiding us through the wetlands. He was very knowledgeable and had a vast amount of information about the wetlands. He managed to describe in great detail information about the wildlife we saw. How he could remember all that is beyond me. A great experience and a good day out.
