5Wonderful tour of the Corroborie Billabong wetlands!
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and kept giving us info about the wild life in the Billabong. He maneuvered the boat so we can photograph the beautiful birds we encountered and spotted several crocodiles (salties mostly!) The Billabong cruise was fantastic and the stops were well timed. Highly recommend this company!
5Awesome experience
The trip also included a visit to Fogg Dam which was awesome bonus that I wasn't aware of. Cam our driver/guide had a lot of interesting facts and knowledge of the local area. Food was really nice and fresh. The cruise on the billabong was absolutely beautiful and went by in no time. Would definitely go again.
5Great Tour
This tour was such a great experience. It was great to be in a small group. We saw so much beautiful country and wildlife. Cameron was a great Tour Guide. Our lunch was delicious and very filling. Overall, we couldn't have asked for a better day! We highly recommend this tour.
5Great day

5Corroboree Billabong Experience
Very good day and excellent lunch, Cam was very knowledgeable and informative, lot's of crocodile and wildlife sighted.
4The sights were enjoyable...
The sights were enjoyable and the guide provided excellent commentary but the bus perhaps ready for an upgrade. Viator needs to make it possible to use their up with mobile service. And also coordinate with the supplier of pickup times.

About Darwin
Darwin, capital of the Northern Territory, is a tropical harbour city on the Timor Sea and the gateway to Kakadu and Litchfield national parks.
Darwin lies on a deep natural harbour on Australia's northern coast, nearer to Indonesia than to most Australian cities. It was bombed by Japanese aircraft in February 1942 and flattened by Cyclone Tracy on Christmas Eve 1974, so most of the centre is modern. The Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory tells that story alongside Aboriginal art and natural history.
Top-ranked sights in Darwin: Adelaide River , Magnetic Termite Mounds, Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (MAGNT).
