Loved it! There were no crowds, and the experience felt really up close and personal. The highlight was watching the crocodiles being fed and just how close you are to the experience . We also enjoyed the hands on experiences with the snakes and lizards. We spent about two hours exploring, watching, learning, and taking snack breaks in between, with a café conveniently available on site.

Overall experience was great. There were so many activities going on throughout a day. If you are looking for a good day out in DARWIN this is the best place and so informative. I really like the way aboriginal cultre are presented and respected in this place.

Our host (Zoe?) was amazing. So knowledgeable. Having the VIP interaction experience has made our holiday in Darwin. We got so much from the tour, than if we had just walked around ourselves. Would definitely recommend for visitors to Darwin.
