Along the river - It was a great trip ! The guide was funny and gave clear explanations. We learned many things about crocodiles and the river. We had time to take photos. I saw crocodiles relaxing near the water, it was amazing to see them in nature ! The view along the river were also very beautiful. The boat was safe and comfortable. This cruise is perfect for people who like nature and animals. I really enjoyed it and recommend it to everyone.

Crocks abound - An enjoyable tour. Easy parking with our van. Relaxed atmosphere. Good commentary, interesting information which explained things and responded actively to people's questions. Lots of crocodiles - highlight was a particularly large crock. Lots of birds around the water. Would definitely recommend this one - easy reach from Darwin as a day trip.

Abundance wildlife - This is the best cruise to take in all of the NT. The amount of wildlife you see is unbelievable. It is closer to Darwin than Kakadu and we saw so much more at the Corrobaree billabong than we did at Kakadu. The amont of different birds was amazing. The giant lotus' was beautiful. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Beautiful and interesting tour - Top boat tour with Chris, he knows everything about this billabong. We saw about 20 species of birds including Jabiru, Brolgas and White breasted sea eagles. We saw salty and feshue crocs and one huge water buffalo close up. It's a beautiful tour.

Corroboree - Firstly our tour guide , Chris made the experience come to life . He was by far the best your guide we had during our stay in Darwin. On board were a Family of 6 which included 2 young children and Chris made sure they enjoyed the experience as much as the adults . It was very enjoyable and Chris had amazing knowledge about all the creatures that were saw .

Spectacular animal spotting - Chris was very knowledgeable and knew exactly where to find the animals. It was full on spotting for crocodiles etc. Well worth the trip.

The Highlight of Our Darwin Stay - We did a 10.30 morning cruise in early July. This was the highlight of our 7 night stay in Darwin. Great value and very well organised. We arranged for a pick up from Corroboree Tavern which cost a very reasonable $10 per head and save the drive on gravel for the hire car. The tour was fantastic. We saw salties and fresh water crocs, water lillies and many birds up close, including brolgas and Jabirus. The commentary was very informative and gave us a great insight into much of the fauna and flora on the river system. We thoroughly recommend this cruise for all ages.

Corroborree Billabong Cruise - Of course, the number one thing you want to see is a saltie, and there were plenty of them. Saltwater crocodiles, buffalo, Black-footed Wallabies and a lot of birdlife were easily seen from our flat-bottomed punt. The cruise guide was an old hand with lots of stories to tell. Very enjoyable!

the most insulting arrogant operator - We have been told to be there at 6:45 for sunrise. Because of road conditions, we arrived at 6:48 and the boat was already on the water (with only 2 people on board). They ignored us and went. We called the office and all they did was put us on the 10am cruise. The pilot did not even apologize, and said that we have been told to be there 10 mn before. This is ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE. Then all the cruise was terrible with a pathetic guide. Avoid this at any cost, - there are much better guided tours there
