    Crikey what an amazing experience, not at all what we expected to actually get up close and personal with so many crocodiles
    We literally couldn’t believe it.
    The tour guide Steve was hilarious and knowledgeable.
    The bbq lunch was incredible there was barrumandi, chicken, steak, Sausages Salads and so much more. Then a ride through nature and finish with beautiful damper and Billy tea. It was a great day and totally exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much…. We highly recommend that you go on this tour. Thank fully a lovely couple mentioned to us while our stay at 1770 and we were lucky to get in on the tour so short notice!

    What a great day!!! From pick up at our hotel to drop off this trip was informative, humorous and just great fun. It’s something for all ages! Along with myself (20’s) and 3 people in their 30’s, we also had my Mum (50’s) and my nephew who is is 3 this year with us and we each thoroughly enjoyed it. Steve who did both tours was extremely informative on the nature around us, he looked out for the Crocodiles body language and explained it to us in detail. Ian had prepared Lunch for when we arrived back to the camp which was a wide range of BBQ food and salad – it was delicious. The wetlands tractor ride was super fun too, Steve is experienced in handling Snakes so when a brown tree snake popped out of the engine he was able to handle her and educate us on her species.
    Thank you to Both Steve and Ian for a great day! We enjoyed it very much and will be back in the Winter to visit the Crocs again

    We took our boys (7 and 9) along, and they loved the experience. It consists of 3 parts – a tour of the property and some local fauna in a tractor pulled “train” which was quite fun to start off with – we saw some wallabies, local birds and Brahman cows.

    Next was the 2-hour boat ride up and down the river spotting crocodiles- they were a bit shy on this day, but we saw 4-5 of various sizes.

    Next came the BBQ lunch served by our friendly hosts – delicious and plenty of it!

    Everything was undercover, so the sun wasn’t a problem. Oh, and they also picked us up and dropped us back at the hotel, so it was such an easygoing experience from start to finish.
