THINGS TO DO

The Spectacular Crocodile Cruises take guests on a river cruise and educate them on Croc biology, territorial habits – and their value to the ecosystem. The Crocs are wild and have a healthy diet of barramundi, mud crabs, stingray and the occasional wallaby. Tours offer the crocs a taste of buffalo meat in return for them swimming out to say hello and show their incredible hunting techniques.​​​

The crocodile is a cold blooded animal, they bask in the sun during the cooler months of June, July, and early August. Most of the time it's warm, Crocodiles are buried in the mud, under the trees in the shade. ​

Tour staff are avid wildlife guides – they know the Crocs by name – and personality.!

Meet these remarkable creatures that we share planet earth with a river cruise or extend your tour to include an  aerial view of the wetlands with a Spectacular Helicopter tour and an up close and personal snake handling demonstration.
