Crocs are not always in the mood to jump out of the water or even show themselves. But boat skipper are eager to tell facts and history of crocs.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! 🐊 We’re glad you enjoyed learning from the skipper during the Crocodile Jumping Cruise. While the crocs can be unpredictable, it’s wonderful to hear the skipper’s stories and knowledge added depth to the experience. We’re delighted the tour gave you both insight and adventure!

We absolutely loved this experience! Definitely a must do if your coming to Darwin! The driver was so knowledgeable and some very funny commentary.
Robert_N, Feb 2024
Excellent informative commentary both to and from the Adelaide River, and the rough looking, but entertaining boat captain was brilliant. He answered every question thrown at him with humour and accuracy. 👍

We only saw 2 crocodiles and this would be because you don’t actually feed them you tease them. Nothing like the photos you advertise.
Christine_E, Sep 2023

Driver to the river cruise, and guides on the river were very friendly. We enjoyed the river adventure, many crocs and hawks around, but mostly because they are fed. Small amount of people on the boat which was nice to get some good pics.
Our driver dropped us off at the pier first since we on cruise ship, very accommodating and appreciated.
Angela_S, Aug 2022
Perfect day. Great people who knew what they were talking about. Amazing crocs jumping to see and you are safe from them.

Katrina_B, Jun 2022
Friendly and informative Tour Guide. Enjoyed wetlands cruise and croc experience amazing. All round a terrific trip ending with a stop of at Humpty Doo Hotel for a drink & chat with locals. Thanks
SHANE_P, May 2022
Jay was our bus driver very knowledgeable and friendly. Wookie was our cruise boat guide who was excellent. Made our hour tour on the river enjoyable with his off slider Steve enticing the crocs with feed. They made sure both sides of the boat could see the action without leaving our seats so no one missed out.
Brendan_V, Apr 2022
Great half day tour
Tour guide meatloaf was extremely knowledgeable, informative and engaging.
Been doing it for 30 years and his relaxed manner, whilst reinforcing the cultural and historical backgrounds was fantastic.
Small group, so it’s more personal the experience.
The boat transfer was seamless. A good hour on the river with 3 crocs being jumped and some feeding of kites. Great day. Highly recommend.
