What to expect
You'll board an established riverboat and head into the Inlet with a skipper who knows where crocodiles typically bask and hunt. Keep your eyes on the water's edge and overhanging vegetation—spotting one is likely but never guaranteed. The skipper shares insights about the ecosystem and wildlife behaviour as you cruise. Bring a camera with a decent zoom if you want close-up shots; distance varies. The pace is leisurely, perfect for observing rather than rushing past.
Good to know
Book ahead during peak season. Wear sunscreen and a hat—there's limited shade. The bar serves alcoholic and soft drinks; your first beverage is included. Public transport reaches the dock easily. Infants must sit on an adult's lap unless using a specialised seat (request when booking).
