WETLANDS CRUISES and Evan ARE THE BEST - I have been on Wetlands Day Cruise twice with friends, since moving to the Territory and this time I took two friends on the lunch cruise on our way to our Litchfield break.
Every time I have had the tour guide EVAN, and he is perfect for the role he does. Friendly, knowledgeable, people focused, clearly engaged with his topic areas (Darwin, wildlife, birds etc). He is a typical authentic Australian guy: dad jokes and all.
Every visitor has really loved the cruise. Full of crocs (in their natural state) and endless birds. Really beautiful to take it all in.
It is money well spent, to take in the beauty, relax over an informal lunch, get some great pic's but also to gain a lot of local insights from an informed and motivated guide.

Brilliant cruise - Booking the tour was easy thanks to Andrew. Meeting the bus at Corroboree and taken to the billabong, we were in safe hands with Evan. He looked after us on the cruise pointing out many bird species, finding crocodiles, providing a very yummy lunch and ensured we enjoyed our cruise. Many thanks, we had a lovely day.

Best nature tour we’ve done - Having done nature cruises in Myanmar, Sabah and other parts of the world, this tour, hosted by Evan of Wetland Cruises, was up there with the best. It was certainly the most comprehensive, interesting and entertaining commentary we have ever experienced and the scenery and wild life were superb. The lunch was generous with attention paid to individual dietary requirements. A fabulous experience.

Great start to our Kakadu adventure - Evan, our guide/driver was exceptional. He was extremely knowledgeable about everything and liked to add in some (Dad) jokes to the commentary. So much flora and fauna, crocodiles (not cruel jumping), just in their normal habitat. Lunch was fresh and plentiful.
Cannot recommend more highly!

Brilliant Time - A fantastic tour in which we got to see the Big 5 with Evan who was a tremendous guide. His knowledge of all aspects and the dad jokes in the commentary was great. His eyesight to spot crocs and points of interest including tiny little birds was exceptional. Lunch was also lovely and very generous serves. Never felt rushed a good pace. Recommend this very highly.

Abundance of flora and fauna - Would have to be the best flora / fauna cruise we have been on. Wildlife in abundance and the cruise was well paced with just the right level of commentary and also allowing time for the wetlands to speak for themselves. Massive crocs but also outstanding bird life
