Adelaide River Crocodile Cruises - Sightseeing tours from Darwin
About Adelaide River
Adelaide River is actually the name of a small town south of Darwin
with a population of lets say 230+ folks. As you go into the town
on the Stuart Highway it crosses over the Adelaide River which is
in Northern Territory at the top in the middle of Australia. The
town is basically upstream of the Adelaide River and also the Mary
River Floodplains Important Bird Area. Crocodile
facts.
If you travel out of Darwin on the Stuart Highway south towards Katherine you come to a turnoff about 45klm dwon south called the Arnhem Highway which is the road from Darwin to Kakadu.
Darwin CBD to Stuart Highway turn off 35.5klm Start of Arnhem Highway
from Darwin to Kakadu
Stuart Highway turn off to Fog Dam turnoff 24.6klm
Fog Dam turnoff to Window on the Wetlands 4.4klm
Window on the to Wetlands to Adelaide River 1.3klm. There are Adelaide
river cruises to the left and right but Adelaide

of our favourite tours that we enjoyed to the right has a different
access. So left of the river is Adelaide

Kakadu Crocodile Cruises - Yellow Water Cruises - Cooinda
Yellow Water cruises are so famous not only for crocodile sightseeing but actually birding.
The Yellow
Water bird and crocodile cruise departs from Cooinda in the
south of Kakadu
National Park Australia off the Kakadu Highway. the way I explain
to my client about Kakadu is a bit old fashion but I suggest imagine
Kakadu National park Australia as a triangle laying on it's right
axis with Darwin top left, Jabiru right at the axis and Pine Creek/Katherine
way bottom left. Well coming up north from the town of Katherine
turn right into the Kakadu Highway or coming in from the Arnhem
Highway topside turn north-west off the Kakadu Highway 50km south
of the Bowali Visitor Centre and go up to Cooinda all sealed road
and about say 2klm off the highway is Cooinda as excellent local
resort with cabins, cafe, small general store, fuel, oh and above
all campground for motorhome hire and 4wd camper rentals. Now a
free shuttle takes you from here for a morning or afternoon cruise
about 500m up the road to Yellow Water boardwalk where you board
one of the guided yellow water cruises. The boats around 30 seats
and plenty of room. I wrote a Yellow
Water Cruise blog that Marg and I did back a few years ago so
real experience.

Crocodile Cruises on the Mary River
About Mary River Cruises
Corroboree Billabong is part of the Mary River Wetlands they estimate
it's home to maybe the largest concentration of saltwater crocodiles
in the world. Three are 2 very different areas where you can get
take a crocodile and birding tours on the Mary River. The first
is very quiet and out of the way called Wetland
Cruises now it's on Corroboree Billabong a great cruise in a
small boat on pristine wetlands. The other is Mary
River Wetlands Cruise a bit about this one well the Rockhole
Billabong is actually part of the largest permanent wetland area
of the Mary River system in Mary River National Park. It does join
up with Corroborree Billabong and then forms one of the most diverse
eco systems in Australia. Its name derives from a rather deepwater
hole and natural rock ledge. Getting to Mary River Wetland cruises
well we suggest its a 2 hours drive east of Darwin on the Arnhem
Hwy. Reaching the Rockhole requires driving on 18km of unsealed
dirt road. (it's a maintained gravel road). Transfers available
from the Lodge but fees apply.

Things to do in Darwin
Things to do in Darwin
Crocosaurus Cove Darwin is a great way to spend 1-3 hours if you
have a layover in Darwin or overnight and need a time filler. It's
in the heart of the CBD. If you can't find time to go on a crocodile
cruise and there are many from Darwin then this is the next best
thing that will let you be real close to a live Australian saltwater
crocodile. Crocosaurus Cove is actually Crocosaurus
Cove Aquarium which is modeled after a typical Top End river
system in Northern Territory. I actually liked the display of Australian
Reptiles they had and they displayed some 70+ species of reptiles
truly fascinating as we spent hours and I went round 3 times and
I'm a local here. There are around 180 crocodiles there so they
established a little interaction for you called the 'cage
of death'.

Aussie laid back cruise
Sea Darwin
Our mate Jim owns this amazing unique local company based out of
Darwin. I think Marg and I did the very first tour with Jim and
his son. probably the best and most relaxing 4 hours I did for a
long time. Jim apart from being a great chap is a excellent guide.
His idea for sea Darwin cruises was simple offer unique close up
cruises of the Darwin Harbour such as west arm and the mangroves
only something till then us locals had the privilege of doing in
our own boats whilst fishing. Jim has now grown and offers many
different choices of cruises so if you stuck for ideas and suggestions
of what to do in Darwin look no further. The cruise we took was
a interactive tour of a mangrove waterway of West Arm and also cruise
by old Darwin's historical Esplanade area and way out to the crocodile
trap in the harbour.

Darwin and Crocodiles
Warnings about crocodiles
How many crocodiles are there in the Northern Territory well its
estimated to be somewhere around 100 000 crocodiles in the wild.
Now protected but once hunted to near extinction around here. Crocodile
skins used to be a major export product from Australia. But always
be aware for the signs
and warning when going to the rivers and parks in the Top End
on crocodiles. Scary well folks did you know that the world’s largest
reptile is our very own Northern Territory Saltwater Crocodile.
The picture is of a crocodile trap in Darwin Harbour. So if you
want to see crocodiles then take a cruise or eco adventure tour
that includes a fresh
water sightseeing cruise.

Crocodylus Park Darwin
About Crocodylus Park
Crocodylus
Park in Berrimah is opposite our police head quarters. Crocodylus
Park is the best place in Australia to come face to face with the
largest reptiles on the planet! Built upon 30 years of experience
in crocodile research and conservation, the park plays host to over
a thousand crocodiles from 30cm long hatchlings to massive adults
measuring 4.7m and weighing half a ton! Our diverse array of other
wildlife, including big cats, primates, birds and other reptiles,
ensure the crocodiles don't steal all the limelight. For my self
drive clients it's so easy to find - either coming from the city,
airport or casuarina you come to the McMillian's Road/Vanderlin
Drive Roundabout as pictured below. Now Crocodylus Park in Berrimah
opposite police Head Quarters just some 100 metres over the roundabout.
In Nov 2007 a croc was captured and they held it in the police cells
for the night.

Darwin harbour fishing tours
About Darwin fishing tours in the Harbour
I prefer overnight trips or at least a full day much more chance
of catching larger fish. Darwin has both open water or as I call
it blue water fishing and also white water or fresh water fishing.
Many Darwin shops offer to book both inland river fishing tours
from Darwin for the elusive fighting Barramundi and also open water
open such as Snapper, Black Jewfish, Spanish Mackerel.
