Description
Our experiences are the true epitome of an Outback wildlife experience. During the experience, you can expect to observe: • Multiple Large Crocodiles, some are nearly 6m in length. • Crocodiles jumping out of the river right next to the boat. • A variety of native birds such as the White-Breasted Sea Eagle, Hawks, Magpie Geese and many others. • Raw elegance of the Adelaide River and surrounding wetlands. We keep our groups small to maximize the impact of your experience and to ensure an intimate time seeing the power of Crocodiles in the wild from the safety of our boats.

Up close and personal
Up close and personal with the crocs. Tour operator was super knowledgeable. It felt authentic and not too touristy. Felt super safe at all times. We had the added bonus of watching the black kites swooping in for some chicken too. Loved the whole experience and would highly recommend.

Exciting and informative. A must do.
This is a must do experience. Despite the fact that we were late for our appointed visit time - got lost on the way - we were welcomed and put on to the next trip out. Fortunately it was a quietish day. It was Roger who took us out on the boat to find the crocodiles - this is not a sanctuary or conservation site but just where these crocodiles live. He was very informative and entertaining on the whole trip and the crocodiles "performed" apparently happily. The Black Kites that followed the boat (they got fed too) put on an amazing flying show as well. It was a great day out and the Cafe is a bonus with a good selection of food and drinks available. There are organised trips (coach etc) to this place but we chose to hire a car which actually suited us financially.

A NT experience not to be missed.
Even though the Boat was full, the experience was not affected by it at all. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and ensured that he found a few different size crocs and had them on both sides of the boat. Amazing experience to see the large crocs up so close!
K
Great Job, Thanks for the adventure.
This was an enjoyable experience and our guide did a great job and was really personable and knowledgeable. Thanks Team. Location was a little tricky as it doesn't show on google maps but it all worked out fine.

Crocodiles up close in their natural environment.
Fantastic experience on the Adelaide River outside of Darwin. Crocodiles here there everywhere. Heed the warnings no sticking your fingers/hands outside the boat, be situational aware as crocodiles are very very quiet. There one minute gone the next. My only feedback would be as the tour guide didn't have a microphone it was very hard to hear them from the front of the boat where we were sitting.
