Take a cruise on the Adelaide River for a pure Outback experience.
Travel by motorcoach through Darwin, heading south on the Arnhem Highway to the vast wetlands near the mouth of the Adelaide River. Keep an eye out for the area's wonderful endemic wildlife and flora as you travel.
Board a riverboat for an approximately 60-minute cruise on the Adelaide River. In its murky waters live the most dangerous reptiles in Northern Australia -- huge jumping saltwater crocodiles, which shoot out of the water in pursuit of their prey.
As you cruise the banks of the river, you will gain an understanding of why it took Europeans more than 200 years to settle the region.
Stop at the Humpty Doo, a traditional Aussie bush pub, for a cold beer or a refreshing soft drink.
Notes:
Tour does not operate on holidays. To make your day as enjoyable as possible, please ensure that you wear comfortable flat-soled shoes, clothing suited to the weather conditions, a hat, and bring along some sunscreen, insect repellent and bottled water. The gangway to board the vessel may be a steep incline due to river conditions. Wildlife sightings however likely are not guaranteed.
