Half Day Jumping Crocodile Cruise on Adelaide River

We travel 60 km southeast to the Marrakai wetlands, a rich habitat home to saltwater crocodiles, 117 reptile species, and 280 bird species.

This adventure brings you up close to powerful saltwater crocodiles as they launch from the water to snatch food from the boat. Operated by one of only four licensed operators in the region, the tour combines excitement with safety and education. Experienced local guides share insights into crocodile behavior, habitats, and survival strategies, ensuring a fascinating experience.

The cruise also showcases other wildlife, including barramundi, white-bellied sea eagles, whistling kites, bull sharks, and black flying foxes, offering an immersive nature encounter.

On the return journey, we stop at the legendary Humpty Doo Hotel, a Northern Territory icon with outback charm, famous giant buffalo horns, and a friendly atmosphere—an ideal spot for a cold drink and a taste of local history.

Afterward, we return to Darwin, reflecting on a day of unforgettable wildlife encounters, cultural charm, and the dramatic landscapes of the Top End.
