Highlights

If you want to fit in all of the quintessential Top End activities into the one day then this is the tour for you! With a helicopter, airboat, cruise boat and crocodile safe swimming cafe there is no better way to experience the spectacular local wildlife and landscapes of the Litchfield region. Guests will see the majestic floodplains from above in a scenic helicopter flight and spot crocodiles, birds and even buffalo on a thrilling airboat ride through the channels and into the rainforest. Our cruise boat takes guests along Sweets Lagoon billabong for a slower pace perfect for birdwatching and taking pictures whilst tucking into a gourmet BBQ meal. We have Australia’s only nature-based croc safe pool where guests can take a dip and get face to face with a wild saltwater crocodile. The tour finishes off with an exciting feeding and exhibition with one of our rescue monster crocodiles caught by Matt Wright himself. Experience a once in a lifetime Top End day adventure with us!

  • 5Croc adventure tour

    Jake our guide/airboat skipper was so knowledgeable about the wildlife and his passion for caring for the rescue crocs was evident. We tagged on the helicopter flight, which was an amazing experience flying over wetlands and spotting wildlife. Topped off with a refreshing swim and drinks in the pool. Would definitely recommend!

  • 5Extraordinary experience!

    In one day we checked so many things off our Wishlist of wildlife, sites and experiences we hoped to have while visiting NT from Texas! From pickup to drop off, we would not change a single thing. With the exception that I would have made sure we had the time to stay overnight at Camp. We did not want the day to end when we left and the accommodations appeared just as good as any hotel in town! Communication with booking, confirmation of what to expect/be prepared for and pickup (prior to the day of), etc was exceptional. The tour description on the Top End site is what was delivered. The price was extremely reasonable for all the activities and the smaller group (15-ish) was perfect size for ample space and site seeing. From visiting and watching the crocodiles be fed, to the heli flight, airboat and more relaxing billabong cruise, we were informed how keep ourselves safe while getting the most enjoyment out of each experience. No other tour I found could offer so much diversity in just one day. They also have a handy pub you can purchase beer/wine from if you didn’t bring your own. Thank you Matt, Kaia, Jake (for being an awesome and knowledgeable guide for the day) and the rest of the Top End crew for allowing a couple from halfway around the world the opportunity to encounter so much that Australia has to offer! Hope to visit y’all again!

  • 5An Unforgettable Top-End Experience — Don't Miss This One!

    From the moment Jake (and his dog Kaia) picked us up in Darwin CBD, we knew this was going to be a great day. We kicked things off with a river boat cruise and a delicious breakfast on board - the perfect, relaxed start to the adventure. Jake's knowledge was next level. He didn't just talk crocs - he gave us a real appreciation for the whole ecosystem, the birdlife, and how it all fits together. You can tell this isn't just a job for him, it's a genuine passion, and it made the whole experience so much richer. Then came the airboat ride, which was lots of animal encounters from start to finish. Feeding the big crocs was an absolute highlight - equal parts thrilling and unforgettable. To top it all off, we finished with a scenic helicopter ride and relaxed by the pool with a cold beer, still buzzing from the day. Fun, informative, relaxing, and thrilling all in one — this place checks every box. If you're heading to the Top End, do not miss this experience!

About Darwin

Darwin, capital of the Northern Territory, is a tropical harbour city on the Timor Sea and the gateway to Kakadu and Litchfield national parks.

Darwin lies on a deep natural harbour on Australia's northern coast, nearer to Indonesia than to most Australian cities. It was bombed by Japanese aircraft in February 1942 and flattened by Cyclone Tracy on Christmas Eve 1974, so most of the centre is modern. The Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory tells that story alongside Aboriginal art and natural history.

Top-ranked sights in Darwin: Adelaide River , Magnetic Termite Mounds, Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (MAGNT).
