Itinerary
After morning pickup at your Darwin accommodation, travel in a climate-controlled bus for about one hour to reach the Adelaide River.
Upon arrival at the river, board a sturdy boat that is designed to provide an up-close view of the crocs. Keep your camera at the ready for your crocodile cruise. You might even see birds of prey such as the white-breasted sea eagle swoop down to steal meat from the crocodiles. The Adelaide River hosts a variety of wildlife both in the water and on the riverbank.
Next, get great views of the wetlands, birds and animals at the Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve. Continue to the Humpty Doo Hotel, where you can tuck into a delicious lunch (included).
Then return to Darwin where your tour ends with transfer back to your hotel or cruise ship.

Best experience ever. Loved the engagement between our guide and those on board and off course the main attraction the crocs did not disappoint. Our bus guide Ash was amazing, very knowledgeable of the Darwin area and kept us entertained on our entire trip. Lunch at Humpty Doo bistro was the icing on the proverbial cake. Will definitely do this again!

Very informative, great guide. We enjoyed the whole day, and got to see some great sites. Would recommend.

Very knowledgeable tour guide on the water. She knew her crocs and was able to get them to jump. Very nice to be on the water. Lunch was at the Humpty Doo and I was not impressed. Not sure why that bar is so famous but we still had an enjoyable day.

Karen was a spectacular guide. The jumping crocs were amazing. Karen pointed out a lot of wildlife at Fogg Dam I would have missed. And the lunch at Humpty Doo tavern was great. I highly recommend the trio of barramundi, crocodile, and water buffalo burgers if you’re adventurous.
Dave_C, Mar 2025
Superb trip to see the crocs , boat cruise lasted 1 hour and the guide was very informative.

Vanessa_D, Nov 2023
Unfortunately the crocs didn’t want to play and only saw 4, all was a little flat , not worth the money.

This tour may seem a little more pricey than others if you have your own transport but it is worth every cent. We were on a small boat of only 6 people, the tour guide was a local his entire life than knew everything about the wildlife. No glass windows, no climbing to the front to see, everything was right in front of us. The guide that collected us and dropped us off was lovely too. All round amazing trip
Magnus_M, Mar 2019
Fantastic half-day tour from Darwin. Our amazing guide Pat took us on a boat to watch really large salties in Adeleide River. Highly rekomend this.
Ann H, Sep 2017

Andrew W, Dec 2016
Awesome we went on the small boat and it was great the bus trip down was very good the driver kept us well informed on the many thing we saw JUST GO YOU WONT REGRET IT
Richard B, Aug 2016
Glad I was on a small boat, and not on the big boat with lots of tourists.
Pat was excellent value, with some proper stories - effing brilliant - will go again when I'm here.
John M, Jul 2016
Go on this trip. The guide Pat makes it incredible, ok so being a half meter from 5 meter Crocs helps too! The shuttle ride down was really relaxing too. Picked us up and dropped us off in front of the hotel. This was the highlight of our family trip to Darwin.
Harald_F, Oct 2018
Wir wurden nicht abgeholt! Bezahlt wurde aber bereits Monate vorher. Über mehrere Tage wurde versucht den Veranstalter zu erreichen. Keine Chance! Wir haben bei allen Veranstaltern in der Stadt vorgesprochen. Keiner kennt diese Company! Viator würde mehrmals kontaktiert. Bis heute kam keine Nachricht. Keine weiterempfehlun!
Jrgen_P, Oct 2016
Kurzfristig wurde der Trip wegen zu geringer Beteiligung abgesagt, obwohl man ein paar Stunden vorher uns die Abholung vom Hotel bestätigt hatte. Warten jetzt auf die Erstattung der Tourpreises.
