This tour was an unforgettable highlight for us!

You’ll see so many crocs that halfway through the tour you might be done taking photos of them 😂

The cruise takes you through the wetlands near Cooinda, with heaps of birdlife and salties in the wild. It honestly feels a bit like a safari, but very NT.

If you can only spend 1 day in Kakadu, make sure to include this activity. Book your tickets here!
