Jumping Crocodile Cruise Half Day Experience
Departing the city, you travel about 60 km southeast toward the Marrakai wetlands, home not only to an apex predator—the crocodile—but also to 117 species of reptiles and 280 types of birds. It’s a truly exhilarating and unique experience, bringing guests up close with some of nature’s most aggressive and dangerous wildlife in the naturally occurring waterways of the Northern Territory.
Australia’s Top End is said to host over 100,000 saltwater crocodiles, mainly around the Darwin, Adelaide River, and Mary River regions. So there’s no need to worry—you’re sure to spot the world’s largest reptile and one of the oldest creatures to walk the planet since the dinosaurs. These prehistoric beasts can grow up to 6 metres long—the size of a small bus.
