What you can expect

Set off on a half-day jumping crocodile cruise on the Adelaide River departing from your Darwin accommodation. Travel southeast towards the Marrakai wetlands, where the mighty saltwater crocodiles, the largest reptile in Australia, live. Here, you'll step aboard a custom-built vessel for a one-hour cruise, watching these incredible creatures leap from the water, showcasing their power and agility. Meanwhile, the live commentary will teach you about croc biology, behaviour, and their vital role in the Top End ecosystem.

This unique Aboriginally owned and operated experience offers both excitement and insight as you cruise through the Adelaide River’s wetlands. Along the way, you'll also spot some of the other diverse wildlife, including barramundi, sea eagles, and whistling kites. After the cruise, relax on your comfortable, air-conditioned transfer back to Darwin, arriving with unforgettable memories and a new appreciation for Australia’s wild and untamed Northern Territory.
