★★★★★Viator review
Wonderful tour of the Corroborie Billabong wetlands!
Kyriacos_Z, September 2026
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!

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.
