Most informative tour I’ve been on

Ian 27 October 2023

Evan the tour guide gave information non stop for about 4 hours on topics about the indigenous people and their culture, history of Darwin, different trees and fauna, bushfire management, war history, vast knowledge of the different wildlife in the corroboree. I now have a newfound respect for the aboriginal people of this country.

Travelled by bus from Darwin which was an excellent interesting and informative journey with 2 stops on the way. Lunch was fresh and a very large mixed meats salad boiled egg and fresh bread. Cold water to refill water bottles. A couple of people brought mini cooler bag with a couple of other drinks. Wildlife extra special

Wetlands Day Tour

Mick 22 June 2022

We were picked up from our hotel in Darwin. From the time we got on Evan had us entertained with his knowledge of Darwin/ Darwin’s History and surrounds. Then we went to Fogg Dam and Evans knowledge of fauna was unbelievable. Then we moved onto the wetland cruise we’re Evan’s knowledge and spotting of fauna was brilliant. It was a great day.

A fantastic day!

Carol 16 June 2021

The whole day was great, with a friendly and knowledgeable guide who kept us entertained. The areas we visited were full of wildlife and many bird species and others were identified. Lunch on the boat was nice and healthy and it was overall a relaxing and interesting day. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone. I learned a lot on the day.
