Enjoy your experience! ----- Leaving Darwin, the scenic journey to the Adelaide River takes just under an hour. Upon arrival, you'll join a Spectacular Jumping Crocodile Cruise, where you'll get an education on crocodile biology, territorial habits, and their value to the ecosystem. The company has been operating for over 30 years and is the only Aboriginal-owned cruise on the Adelaide River. As such, you'll enjoy an authentic peek into over 40,000 years of human interaction with this stunning environment. The river is home to over 1,600 wild crocodiles. Get a real thrill witnessing these majestic and ancient giants leap from the water. The wildlife guide offers the crocs a taste of buffalo meat in return for them swimming out to say hello and show their incredible hunting techniques. There's no cages or perspex boxes, just you, the team, and thousands of crocs. After the cruise, you'll get to spend time at the Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve. View impressive scenery year-round, and as the wetlands recede, the dam becomes a birdwatcher's paradise. There are nearly 200 different bird species that call the area home and are rare to find elsewhere, so remember to take your binoculars. The dam is also a haven for water pythons and freshwater turtles. Finish off with a stop at Howard Springs, for a chance to see barramundi's and turtles. This half-day tour is ideal for nature lovers and anyone wanting a taste of the Top End but who have limited time.
