In Darwin we are well known for our large saltwater crocodiles, and often visitors are always excited to see them up close. 

Spotting crocs in the wild: 

If you are an adrenaline junkie and want to see our big crocodiles in their natural habitat, then you will need to head out into the heart of Darwin. 

• Jumping Crocodile Cruise along Adelaide River – Join in on one of these bucket list river cruises and watch the colossal reptiles jump out of the water and snatch food from your tour guide. You will be blown away by how close you can get to their big teeth, and long tails. 
• Kakadu National Park: This national park is home to thousands of saltwater crocodiles in their natural habitat. Join a guided tour to safely see them up close. 
• Mary River National Park: Known for being home to many large crocs, this park is the perfect place to take a boat tour and witness these apex predators in their element. 

Getting up close and personal at crocodile attractions: 

If you are someone who prefers a more controlled environment, or if you want to get closer than you can in the wild then there are a couple of exciting options for you: 

• Crocosaurus Cove: Located in the middle of the city, the Cove offers the opportunity to see many different crocodiles. You can even get up close and personal with them in the Cage of Death. 
• Crocodylus Park: Located just outside of Darwin, Crocodylus Park is home to thousands of crocodiles where you can enjoy educational shows, and crocodile feedings.
