Summary:
We did not want to go the reef on this trip but wanted to see the mangroves. The Lady Douglas was perfect and good value. The skipper was very knowledgeable and gives great commentary on nature, the history etc etc. and I have to say great value. Wine & a snack box are included. Highly recommend.

Summary:
We did the Sunset tour which was relaxing. We were greeted by Richard who was very entertaining whilst Zane handed out drinks to everyone. The cruise was calm , no crocodiles sighted, but that didn’t deter from the rest of the trip . Richard was very knowledgeable about the area and had a very funny sense of humour .
