Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Wow, wow, wow. What an awesome way to enjoy the territory. This activity has it all and is jam packed with excitement. You cannot get much closer to crocs in the wild than this. Staff were fantastic, informative and nothing was too much trouble for them. Ricky our airboat driver did a top job, as did all the staff while we were there. Accommodation was unique and we wanted for nothing during our stay. The evening spent around the campfire was a relaxing way to finish off the day yarning to the other guests. This is something we will not forget and worth every penny.

An unforgettable experience with a professional company. The pick was from Darwin centre with two guides. The guides are those who tra sport you from town to the location and who take you on the air boat . On the way, you can stop at the bottleshop. People start drinking on the way. When you arrive at the location there is tea coffee and water. Wine is placed in the fridge. The first part is the helicopter. You are weighed. The you walk to the helicopter. It has no doors at the front! But you are strapped in. The 10 minutes is magnificent flying over the flood plains spotting nesting crocs.
Then straight off to whizz around the swamps in the airboat. That is a powerful machine handled superbly by the guide. His reactions are fast. We saw crocs up close too.
We visited the Croc sanctuary. Those are big. The we relaxed in the pool after a hearty dinner. The food is excellent t. Accommodation comfortable with private outdoor shower.
Highly recommend!

Right from pickup we got a vibe that this was going to be an awesome day with the friendly and relaxed nature of our Bus/Tour guide.
First activity was the Airboat and man that was epic…the scenery and wildlife was amazing and also plenty of crocs to satisfy all. The level of skill, knowledge topped with pure enthusiasm and passion that was shown by our guide was amazing and a true credit to the company.
Next up the cruise and brunch…Well I don’t think Ive had a better BLT to be honest and a nice time to reflect and absorb with others on what we had just done and also learned before hand.
Off to the rescued croc pens now and wow these guys and girls don’t mind putting on a show!! There’s some big units in there!
Back to the manicured lawns of the campground for a cold one and a dip in the beautiful pool whilst waiting for the chopper ride.
Yet again we were blown away with the knowledge and skill of our pilot /tour guide the views over the wetlands were simply amazing.
We will never forget this place and I’m sure that we are not the only ones.

If you oly do one day trip in Darwin then choose this one. At first it might seem expensive but it was great value for money.
What a fantastic fun filled day. Jake drove us up to the camp with his lovely brown dog . He then took us on the river cruise and did an amazing job of multi tasking... cooking breakfast, steering the boat, chatting to guests, looking after fishing rods etc etc.Josh and Ochre took us out on the air boat.... so interesting and very informative. We saw crocs, croc nests and so many different birds.
Thank you Pirate for the helicopter ride. It was good to have an aerial view of where we had been . Once again he was very informative.
Thanks Matt for showing us the rescue crocs up close. It was interesting to hear their back stories We had a great day. Thank you to all the staff.

My partner and I came to Darwin for our honeymoon and were looking forward to some adventure. Top End Safari camp gave us just that! The staff were amazing and hospitable, the chef, Jake cooked up a delicious storm (some of the best food we had in Darwin), the air boat, helicopter rides and crocodile tours were all a 10/10 experience, and we definitely plan on returning one day. We had the chance to socialise with other people who were exploring Darwin, and the family feel at the camp with Banjo, and the family pets made us feel at a home away from home. 100% recommend!

Worth the money! This was a surprise treat for my partners 50th. He's had me watching Matt on YOUTUBE for a few years so I was also excited to check out his property and the crocs myself.
The whole experience was great from the helicopter ride with Pirate, Josh and Jake's airboat ride up the creek and the meals and general chat with the camp couple running things for the season. We also had a lovely group, 7 of us overnight.
Learning about the crocs and seeing the couple of wild ones in the creek was awesome and even the chance for a fish..even if Josh didn't put me on the Barra spot 😂
The only thing that could have made it better was
meeting Matt. Next time.
