Great trip with Evan out to Corroboree Billabong. Excellent knowledge of history and local attractions and communicated the detail very well. Visited Fogg Dam, Corroboree Tavern and had a great 2.5 hr boat trip on Corroboree Billabong. Good paced trip, lunch included and lots of great photo opportunities. Highly recommend as a trip to take when in Darwin. Good overview of all things NT.

The whole experience was wonderful. Connie was a really lovely lady who was full of interesting information and clearly loved imparting this to all on board. Really loved seeing the special Jabiru couple (birds) and the white belly sea eagles and their spectacular nests. Thanks for a wonderful day Connie.

The tour guide, Evan, was so knowledgeable throughout the day. There were so many birds to observe and photograph, as well as coming across a croc on the bank. Evan was then able to give us so much information about the habits and physical structure of this female croc. The boat ride was the major feature of our first holiday in NT.
