Great experience. Our boat driver was entertaining and very knowledgable. 2nd time we’ve used this company and it was better the 2nd time around! Lots of crocs came to play!
What an experience! The boat is big and very comfortable, the tour guides - funny and knowledgeable. I loved this tour. Got to see huge crocs up close and got some great photos.
Fantastic experience, the crew were awesome. Very courteous, friendly, professional, happily answered and encouraged everyone to ask questions, and they had a fantastic sense of humour. Highly recommend this experience.
Amazing experience. Everyone should give it a go. Great guides and information.
This was so awesome we couldn’t have asked for a better experience, highly recommended! The crocs were huge and I felt like I was centimetres away from them!
Great tour however do not book through TripAdvisor. Go directly through the company. We booked the Adelaide River Queen and it didn't even run the day we booked. Further to that hosts stated if they had to cancel for any reason we probably wouldn't have got the notification via TripAdvisor.
Such a fun time on the river. Rob was funny, knowledgeable and loves his work. Would recommend to anyone who comes to Darwin. PS: don't swim in the water. 🐊
We had an awesome tour with Jess back in May 2026, on the long weekend. I was excited and petrified at the same time. Great commentary and humour from Jess :) - we appreciated it. I would recommend the tour and company. Our boat had 33 people on it. So didn't feel overcrowded. Very close to the crocs, amazing vision of these animals in the wild on the Adelaide River. It was a last-minute decision we booked online the night before. But easy to do, easy to find. An hour's drive from Darwin an hour's tour and an hour back to Darwin - easy to do on your own in a car in half a day.
Great modern boat, upstairs is open and downstairs is closed and air-conditioned. They work hard to make sure you see those crocs jumping!! It’s was a great day… stopped at the Humpty-doo pub on the way back to Darwin, great country pub with live music
Great boat as you are close to the action!! Other tours are in bigger boats and further from the water, and therefore the crocs. Our tour guide was funny and informative, an ex croc egg hunter. Good shade on the boat. Saw plenty of crocs, including a cute young one.
