At J. Charles Swaby’s Black River Safari you are taken by boat approximately four (4) miles upstream on the Black River. During this hour and a half long boat tour you will be given a brief history of the area and a running commentary by your Boat captain / Tour Guide as he explains to you diversity and different species of marine life that you will be encountering. You will then return to the dock and take a walk through our Crocodile Nursery where you will be able to see and get a closeup view of crocodiles we have a rescued from danger and have been rehabilitating. You will even get the chance to take a picture holding a small croc.
