A Yellow Water Cruise is hands down one of the best ways to see crocodiles in Kakadu National Park 🐊⛴️

Gliding through the wetlands, you’ll spot saltwater crocs lurking along the banks, floating silently at the surface or sliding into the water as the boat passes. Seeing these ancient predators in their natural habitat is thrilling, this is truly their territory.

Add in misty mornings or golden sunset light, soaring birdlife and endless reflections, and it’s easy to see why Yellow Water is one of the Top End’s must-do experiences. Safe, guided and unforgettable, it’s the perfect way to get up close to Kakadu’s wild side.
