We went on the jumping croc tour this morning. Tony was our tour guide. He was absolutely amazing and so knowledgeable and helpful. He was enthusiastic to finding the crocs to show everyone on board the crocs jumping and seeing their habitat. I had my 3 kids and parents and partner and everyone is still raving over how great the tour was. Tony is so great! Thankyou for such a great hour. We will be back for sure! Friendly service from this company makes a huge difference as other companies arnt like this.
