Will also pointed out everything we needed to know. He had a great sense of humour and kept it fun but very safety conscious with the jumping crocs. It was very well organised, he's great at his job.”

First you stop in the zoo, we were the first ones so the zoo was empty (around 9am) and it was great because we could enjoy the whole area without waiting long queues. The trip is worth it, stopping in some points where you can enjoy the Blue mountains with “three sisters”in front of you. Then you stop in other points to see the waterfall and other cool places. I highly recommend.”
