About this tour

You'll board a guided boat to watch these massive reptiles in action—including several five-metre males—from both the water and a dedicated viewing platform. The tour wraps with optional lunch and harbour photos at Stokes Hill Wharf. Hotel pickup and drop-off included.

What to expect
Start with a driver picking you up for a guided walk through Darwin's historical landmarks, learning about the city's colonial heritage and key sites. You'll then head to Crocodylus Park where a naturalist leads you onto a boat to observe the crocodiles in their enclosure. Expect to see them basking, swimming, and (weather permitting) jumping for food. The viewing platform offers a stationary spot for photos and observation. If conditions allow, you may handle a juvenile crocodile under supervision. Afterwards, Stokes Hill Wharf is yours to explore at leisure—grab lunch from nearby vendors and take in the harbour views before your driver returns you to your hotel.
Good to know
Meals aren't included except the optional wharf lunch you buy yourself. Bring sunscreen, hat, and water. The crocodile handling experience is seasonal, so check availability when booking.
