What to expect

You'll board a comfortable cruise vessel and drift through the billabong's quieter reaches where the channels branch and interconnect. Crocs bask on banks and birds move through the canopy—the skipper knows where to find them. Rather than anchoring at a fixed spot, the boat positions itself where conditions are best that day, then lunch is served on deck: cold meats, salad, bread and water. The afternoon heat doesn't typically suppress wildlife activity here, so expect sightings throughout. Bring a hat and sunscreen; the pace is relaxed but there's no shade cover.
