— What You Can Expect —
Join our Jumping Crocodile Cruise tour from Darwin for a truly exhilarating
and unforgettable experience. Get up close and personal to some of nature’s
most aggressive and dangerous wildlife located in the naturally occurring
waterways of the Northern Territory. It is said that Australia’s Top End hosts
over a 100,000 estuarine crocodiles predominantly in and around the Darwin,
Adelaide River and Mary River areas.
See the biggest reptile in the world and the oldest amazing creature to walk
the planet since dinosaurs; these prehistoric beasts grow up to 6 meters in
length (the size of a small bus) and can weigh up to 1000kg. An infamous
crocodile called “Sweetheart” was captured not too far from the Adelaide River
after repeatedly chewing the motors off the back of fisherman’s boats and
stealing the farmer’s cows. Sweetheart, unfortunately, passed away and can now
be seen taxidermied in the Darwin Museum.
Our Jumping Crocodile cruise partners are highly trained to ensure the safety
of both the powerful crocodiles and passengers at all times. Crocodiles are
fed buffalo meat, so that guests can see firsthand the powerful and
spectacular hunting techniques of a estuarine crocodile. All staff are issued
with Wildlife Permits by National Parks and Wildlife for our interactions and
no animals are harmed in any way during our wildlife interactions.
