Here's an unforgettable Outback cruise on the Adelaide River, home to thrilling crocodiles, diverse bird species, and deceptively serene landscapes.
Travel by motorcoach through Darwin, heading south on the Arnhem Highway to the vast wetlands near the mouth of the Adelaide River.
Board a riverboat for an approximately 60-minute cruise on the Adelaide River. In its murky waters live the most dangerous reptiles in Northern Australia -- huge jumping saltwater crocodiles, which shoot out of the water in pursuit of their prey. Keep your camera at the ready to record the Northern Territory's unspoiled beauty.
As you cruise the banks of the river, you will gain an understanding of why it took Europeans more than 200 years to settle the region.
Stop at the Humpty Doo, a traditional Aussie bush pub, for a cold beer or a refreshing soft drink.
