This is an amazing tour.

Nev the tour guide is extremely knowledgeable about the area and very easy to listen to.

The tour starts in an old 1970s bus and Nev shows you around Timber Creek on the way out to the boat.

The tour boat is quite comfortable and puts you right at the water level. It moves quite quickly at times.

The cruise covers 70 km of the majestic Victoria River. Without getting out onto the river it is difficult to get an appreciation of it's size. I suspect that many tourists travel through the area without ever truly seeing this great river.

We saw heaps of wildlife on the 70km cruise downstream - crocodiles, wallabies, eagles, kites, a jabiru, a dingo, white cockatoos and even cattle on the way home.

We stopped at a pontoon where we got off and had a drink and some finger food. Neville, the tour operator, caught some catfish and put it out on a platform for the eagles to swoop in and get.

On the way home we saw a pretty good sunset.

Approximate cost: $85
