Awesome day out

This is the second time we have been on this cruise. We loved it o much.The staff were great, very friendly and informative. Both imes we went , we had amazig weather and blue skies which meant the water clour was magical. We saw a couple of turtles, some dolphins and numerous birds. Highly recommend this trip. There are snacks and tea/coffee provided but we also took some breadrolls to tide us over , which made for a perfect day out.

Better than snori

We took our boat tour, expecting to snorkel with turtle. Luckily we saw several turtles, but they ran away quickly. however, the performance of Joel, the Aboriginal guide, was better than anything we had expected. Thumbs up 😘

We really enjoyed this tour. Wil and Jo were wonderful hosts and we loved the hearing the local cultural Knowledge. The vibe was chilled and the music was icing on the cake. Highly recommend.

Dinka Dinka was great

Dinka Dinka made the trip fun his knowledge and stories of the area were fantastic. We were disappointed with not seeing any turtles or dolphins and also that we couldn't stop on Big Woody due to weather conditions 😕
