Travel southeast towards the Marrakai wetlands, where the mighty saltwater crocodiles, the largest reptile in Australia, live. Here, you'll step aboard a custom-built vessel for a one-hour cruise, watching these incredible creatures leap from the water, showcasing their power and agility. Meanwhile, the live commentary will teach you about croc biology, behaviour, and their vital role in the Top End ecosystem.
This unique Aboriginally owned and operated experience offers both excitement and insight as you cruise through the Adelaide River’s wetlands.
