In 1971 the Australian saltwater crocodile, believed to be facing extinction, was declared a protected species. Today increased numbers of saltwater crocs roam the waterways of the Northern Territory.

Spectacular Jumping Crocodile Cruises are on the Adelaide River, an hours drive from Darwin, on the Arnhem Highway on the way to Kakadu. Entry via the Wetland View Top & Information Centre exit off the Arnhem Highway. There are four cruises daily at 9am, 11am, 1pm & 3pm.

Complimentary Tea and Coffee is available on arrival. Guests are welcome to bring their own lunch and enjoy a picnic in our kiosk beside the beautiful Adelaide River.
