Our driver Lloyd was full of knowledge and made the drive to our destination entertaining. Dylan our skipper made us feel at ease despite the fact that our boat was always surrounded by a croc. Dylan was very passionate and it was evident that he loved his job. A great experience seeing crocs in there natural habitat. Highly recommend.

It was great and well worth the fee and your time. The bus operator and the croc boat operator explained a lot along the way.

Lloyd our guide was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained during the trip. The jumping croc cruise was amazing .. huge crocs that didn't disappoint in showing us why they're the so unpredictable. The clap of their jaws is something I never want to be in the middle of.

Really impressive. You see those amazing crocks super close. They are trully scary but we felt totally safe. The guide Lloyd and the one in the boat were also great!

This was an amazing tour!! It was fantastic to see the big crocs (and cute 'lil crocs) out in their natural habitat on the Adelaide River! The river ride was nice as well, very pretty river, other birds and wildlife around as well. Our guide, Dylan, was very entertaining and informative. He has great knowledge of crocs and other wildlife of the area, while being entertaining and humorous throughout. Everyone was safe and had a good time! A trip to the top end would not be complete without a trip on the croc bus to the river with this group!! A must do!!!

Today we were picked up by Lloyd, our tour guide, on the Croc Bus for the ride to the famous jumping crocodile cruise on the Adelaide river. On the way we stopped at the Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve, an area of wetlands teeming with birdlife, buffalos and crocodiles. We also saw a huge golden orb spider, common to the area. Lloyd was very informative about the history of the area and of the flora and fauna. At the Adelaide river we were met by Dylan, our cruise captain who took us to see the jumping crocs. Dylan knows all about the crocs and calls them by name, Dominator, Stumpy, etc. Dominator rules the roost and every other croc gets out of his way at feeding time. On the way back we stopped at the Humpty Doo hotel where the world's biggest set of water buffalo horns hangs above the bar. Time for a quick beer and then back on the road back to Darwin. Thanks Lloyd and Jake for a great morning

Learn a lot of the ego system along the way to Adelaide River, the driver and guide provides an insightful about the flora and fauna of the trip
Rosemary_B, May 2025
Tour Guide on bus very friendly and informative. Plenty of stops en route and on return with opportunities for rest breaks and drinks/snacks. A lot of information provided about the general areas we passed through.
The Croc tour on the boat was very interesting and brought numerous crocs up close to the boat. Very informative commentary about crocs and their habits.

The boat ride was awesome. It was great watching the crocodiles jump out of the water. We actually got a large one which was great photo opportunity.
Lauren_A, Apr 2025
Daz and Dylan are such good tour guides so funny and very informed on everything. We couldn’t ask for a better tour one of our favourites on the trip. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Darwin you won’t regret it!
William_P, Apr 2025
Plenty of crocks. Courtesy stops along the way. Small bus. Careful driver. One hour on the river to view jumping crocks
Sheldon_M, Apr 2025
Absolutely brilliant ! Highly recommend great laugh from the time your picked up to dropped off, very friendly and bubbly and a great experience!
Melissa_M, Oct 2024
Great experience, my only negative was the bird watching drive prior to arriving at that river. Didn’t sign up for bird watching, would’ve rather stay on the boat longer to see more crocodiles than sitting on the bus looking at birds for 30 minutes or so.
Suzanne_D, Oct 2024
Online booking was very easy. Pickup right on time
Tour guide is very informative and funny. Had a few stops along the way.
On the cruise the tour guide also very informative saw lots of crocodiles up close.
Anna_A, Oct 2024
Being close to the crocs seeing them jump up was exciting. The brothers that run the croc park are both really nice young men. Family business started by their grandfather. The drive through fogg Dam is also nice. The whole day went well. Also Thanks to the driver/guide.
Lisa_C, Sep 2024
Can’t praise this tour enough!! We were super lucky to have a VERY up close and personal experience with Brutus on our trip.. So very thrilling indeed. We always felt safe, regardless of Brutus’s attempt to launch himself onboard. It was my third time taking this tour…always just simply fantastic!!
Sharryn_T, Sep 2024
Dazza (Darryl)was amazing and he had a tough crowd who didn’t get his Dad Jokes but he was very informative even thought his microphone was not working and needs to be replaced. Please give him a new one.
Lyn_D, Sep 2024
Jake and bus drivers are really entertaining. Love the Fogg reserve and we saw lots of crocs in the Adelaide river- 2 monsters Dominator and Brutus .
Easy pick and drop offs. Highly recommend this tour.
Barbara_B, Sep 2024
Great pickup at the hotel. The driver was so informative and seemed to really love his job. Got out to the Adelaide river and then on the cruise...wow. great being out on the river in the crocs natural habitat.
Richard_G, Sep 2024
nice half day trip a lot of croc
only tour on the river and a beer on the way home ...
a great day for a couple or family
Janine_W, Aug 2024
We really enjoyed this tour. Our driver (Daks? Dex?) provided very informative and comical commentary along the drive which only added to the fun. And to see and be so near to such deadly creatures was a sobering experience --- those guys are downright ominous to see. And the brief beverage stop along the way back: who couldn't smile when you stop at a place named "Humpty Doo"?
Daniel_L, Aug 2024
Tour was as described. The crocs are very close to you and you see them very well and they do jump. It's the right amount of time. One of the better tours we did in Australia.
Stanislaw_W, Aug 2024
Picked up on time. Interesting and informative bus driver.
Guide and staff on the Adelaide river crocodile trip were informative, helpful and made the trip fun.
Seeing the crocodiles closeup was amazing.
Must do tour.
Steve_C, Aug 2024
A fantastic experience that excites and scares at the same time. The boys know what they’re doing, are entertaining and informative, whilst keeping you completely safe at all times.
Diane_B, Aug 2024
Close (but very safe) contact with impressive crocodiles. Very knowledgeable, friendly staff. These guys really know their stuff. The trip alone on the Adelaide River is worth it. We saw plenty of crocodiles too.
Stephen_F, Jul 2024
Commentary excellent by boat operator and bus driver. Being close to crocs exciting and informative. …………….zzz
