Join us for one of Darwin’s most iconic experiences – a half-day Jumping Croc Cruise on the Adelaide River. Leaving the city, we travel about 60 km southeast to the Marrakai wetlands, home to over 117 species of reptiles, 280 bird species, and of course, the region’s most famous resident – the saltwater crocodile. This thrilling adventure offers the chance to witness these apex predators in their natural environment, alongside other incredible wildlife such as barramundi, sea eagles, whistling kites, bull sharks, and flying foxes.
With only four operators licensed to conduct these tours, you’ll enjoy an experience led by seasoned locals who have a deep respect and understanding of crocodile behaviour and habitat. From the safety of a custom-built vessel, you’ll not only see the raw power and size of these creatures up close, but also gain valuable insight into their way of life. Educational, exhilarating, and truly unique, this cruise combines wildlife encounters with comfort and safety. At the end of the tour, you’ll return to Darwin with the afternoon free to relax and enjoy at your leisure.

EXCELLENT Based on 422 reviews Posted on Anousack ThepphommaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wasn’t sure what to do in Cairns, so I visited their office. Eleanor at the counter was very helpful and gave me great advice on which tours suited me. I booked two tours—Kuranda went smoothly and I had an amazing time. The Fitzroy Island tour was cancelled due to technical issues, but Kirk (who seemed like a manager) called me, resolved everything quickly, and arranged a similar tour for me instead. Overall, I had a great experience and really enjoyed my time in Cairns. If you’re visiting, definitely stop by their office—you won’t regret it.Posted on Sven RudolphTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were fortunate enough to be advised by Bailey. He helped us choose the best day in terms of weather and calmly described and recommended various snorkelling tours to us. The tour we ended up booking was fantastic, as was the weather. For this reason, we were very happy with the advice and would definitely come back again.Posted on G EATrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Great Service, handsome ladPosted on Shannon El HanbliTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family and I were visiting Cairns for a week only and wanted to have a memorable visit of the Great Barrier Reef. We were welcomed by Eleonore Fabre - she gave us outstanding service. She recommended the Moore Reef plan and we could not have had a better day. My kids (and I 🤭) loved the slide that led right into the ocean off the pontoon. Would highly recommend to stop by and see Éléonore at the Cairns branch!Posted on Mack BurgessTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
