Kakadu National Park is home to one of the largest populations of saltwater crocodiles in Australia 🐊.
These ancient reptiles thrive in Kakadu’s rivers, billabongs and wetlands, playing a vital role in the local ecosystem. Spotting crocodiles in the wild, whether from a safe distance on a cruise or along the water’s edge, is a powerful reminder of Kakadu’s untamed beauty and rich natural heritage.

🐊 That's not a knife. But THIS is a view. 😉
Long before Kakadu made the New York Times' best places to visit in 2026, it made the world fall in love with Australia in one of the biggest films in cinema history — Crocodile Dundee.
Gunlom Falls. Ubirr Rock. Nourlangie. The East Alligator River. The same jaw-dropping landscapes that captivated audiences worldwide are still here, waiting for you.
Now you can follow in Mick and Sue's footsteps with our self-guided tour of Kakadu's most iconic filming locations — and read the incredible behind-the-scenes story of how it all came together.
Spoiler: the croc in the billabong scene? Mechanical. The scenery? 100% real. 🌏
