What to expect
You'll board a comfortable cruise vessel and drift through the billabong's quieter reaches where the channels branch and interconnect. Crocs bask on banks and birds move through the canopy—the skipper knows where to find them. Rather than anchoring at a fixed spot, the boat positions itself where conditions are best that day, then lunch is served on deck: cold meats, salad, bread and water. The afternoon heat doesn't typically suppress wildlife activity here, so expect sightings throughout. Bring a hat and sunscreen; the pace is relaxed but there's no shade cover.
Good to know
You'll need your own transport to reach the departure point, 90 minutes south of Darwin. Prams and strollers work for infants; small children sit on laps. All fitness levels welcome—minimal walking involved. Iced water provided; BYO soft drinks if preferred.
