About this tour

Spot saltwater crocodiles from the Adelaide River's most famous vessel during a one-hour cruise near Darwin. The two-deck cruiser gives you flexibility: watch from the climate-controlled lower deck through floor-to-ceiling croc-proof glass, or catch the action from the open-air upper deck beneath canvas awning. Both decks work equally well for viewing the river's massive reptiles in their natural habitat.

Highlights

  • Floor-to-ceiling croc-proof glass lower deck with air conditioning
  • Open-air upper deck under protective canopy
  • One-hour guided Adelaide River patrol
  • Wheelchair accessible throughout vessel
  • Toilets on board
  • Suitable for families with prams and infants

What to expect

Board a purpose-built two-level cruiser designed specifically for crocodile viewing on Adelaide River. The lower deck keeps you cool and sheltered while providing unobstructed sightlines through protective glass panels. If weather's favourable or you want the open air experience, the upper deck offers an unshaded vantage point. Crew members guide you to spotting locations as the boat moves slowly through the water. You'll see crocodiles ranging from juveniles to large saltwater crocs basking or hunting.

Good to know

Bring sunscreen and a hat for upper-deck time. Food and drinks aren't included, so purchase beforehand or during a pre-cruise stop. Prams are permitted on board. Service animals welcome. Infants must sit with an adult.
