About this tour

The tour wraps with a feeding demonstration of rescue crocs handled by local wildlife expert Matt Wright. Seven hours total, departing Darwin.

What to expect
This tour stacks activities back-to-back with minimal downtime. The helicopter ride offers aerial perspective of the landscape; expect noise and vibration but exceptional views. The airboat is loud and fast—you'll feel the spray and speed as guides navigate shallow channels. The billabong cruise shifts to a slower rhythm, ideal for spotting birds and eating. The croc pool is the centrepiece: you wade into contained water where a saltwater crocodile swims nearby under strict supervision. The final demo showcases handlers working with large rescue animals. Bring sun protection and secure loose items.
