My husband and I did the Private whip-ray feeding experience with the Sky. Sky and Addo were very informative, and they talked about safety before feeding the whip rays. Sky was very relaxed and reassuring, especially when the big Ray, Doris came up to feed. I appreciated Sky supporting me through this, as you was a little anxious. Richard and I would highly recommend anyone wanting to do the whip ray feeding experience, and this will be a cherished memory of our amazing holiday in Darwin

Out guide was Enno. He was a fantastic guide who provided heaps of information. We were the only ones in the group so felt very VIP. The cost included patting and holding a juvenile croc, feeding smaller crocs and a big boy! Finished off with a cuddle with a python. We were able to take our own photos throughout. 100% recommend, Value for Money 💰
