Self drive to a Kakadu Crocodile Cruise on the Yellow Water at Cooinda

Yellow Water cruises are so famous not only for crocodile sightseeing but actually birding. The Yellow Water bird and crocodile cruise departs from Cooinda in the south of Kakadu National Park Australia off the Kakadu Highway. the way I explain to my client about Kakadu is a bit old fashion but I suggest imagine Kakadu National park Australia as a triangle laying on it's right axis with Darwin top left, Jabiru right at the axis and Pine Creek/Katherine way bottom left. Well coming up north from the town of Katherine turn right into the Kakadu Highway or coming in from the Arnhem Highway topside turn north-west off the Kakadu Highway 50km south of the Bowali Visitor Centre and go up to Cooinda all sealed road and about say 2klm off the highway is Cooinda as excellent local resort with cabins, cafe, small general store, fuel, oh and above all campground for motorhome hire and 4wd camper rentals. Now a free shuttle takes you from here for a morning or afternoon cruise about 500m up the road to Yellow Water boardwalk where you board one of the guided yellow water cruises. The boats around 30 seats and plenty of room. I wrote a Yellow Water Cruise blog that Marg and I did back a few years ago so real experience.

Things to do in Darwin

Crocosaurus Cove Darwin Crocosaurus Cove Darwin is a great way to spend 1-3 hours if you have a layover in Darwin or overnight and need a time filler. It's in the heart of the CBD. If you can't find time to go on a crocodile cruise and there are many from Darwin then this is the next best thing that will let you be real close to a live Australian saltwater crocodile. Crocosaurus Cove is actually Crocosaurus Cove Aquarium which is modeled after a typical Top End river system in Northern Territory. I actually liked the display of Australian Reptiles they had and they displayed some 70+ species of reptiles truly fascinating as we spent hours and I went round 3 times and I'm a local here. There are around 180 crocodiles there so they established a little interaction for you called the 'cage of death'.

Aussie laid back cruise

Sea Darwin Our mate Jim owns this amazing unique local company based out of Darwin. I think Marg and I did the very first tour with Jim and his son. probably the best and most relaxing 4 hours I did for a long time. Jim apart from being a great chap is a excellent guide. His idea for sea Darwin cruises was simple offer unique close up cruises of the Darwin Harbour such as west arm and the mangroves only something till then us locals had the privilege of doing in our own boats whilst fishing. Jim has now grown and offers many different choices of cruises so if you stuck for ideas and suggestions of what to do in Darwin look no further. The cruise we took was a interactive tour of a mangrove waterway of West Arm and also cruise by old Darwin's historical Esplanade area and way out to the crocodile trap in the harbour.

Darwin and Crocodiles

Warnings about crocodiles How many crocodiles are there in the Northern Territory well its estimated to be somewhere around 100 000 crocodiles in the wild. Now protected but once hunted to near extinction around here. Crocodile skins used to be a major export product from Australia. But always be aware for the signs and warning when going to the rivers and parks in the Top End on crocodiles. Scary well folks did you know that the world’s largest reptile is our very own Northern Territory Saltwater Crocodile. The picture is of a crocodile trap in Darwin Harbour. So if you want to see crocodiles then take a cruise or eco adventure tour that includes a fresh water sightseeing cruise. www.parksandwildlife.nt.gov.au/

Crocodylus Park Darwin

About Crocodylus Park Crocodylus Park in Berrimah is opposite our police head quarters. Crocodylus Park is the best place in Australia to come face to face with the largest reptiles on the planet! Built upon 30 years of experience in crocodile research and conservation, the park plays host to over a thousand crocodiles from 30cm long hatchlings to massive adults measuring 4.7m and weighing half a ton! Our diverse array of other wildlife, including big cats, primates, birds and other reptiles, ensure the crocodiles don't steal all the limelight. For my self drive clients it's so easy to find - either coming from the city, airport or casuarina you come to the McMillian's Road/Vanderlin Drive Roundabout as pictured below. Now Crocodylus Park in Berrimah opposite police Head Quarters just some 100 metres over the roundabout. In Nov 2007 a croc was captured and they held it in the police cells for the night.

Darwin has both open water or as I call it blue water fishing and also white water or fresh water fishing. once you in Darwin if you still not sure drop into 50 Mitchell Street, Darwin, Northern Territory 0800 they offer to book both inland river fishing tours from Darwin for the elusive fighting Barramundi and also open water open such as Snapper, Black Jewfish, Spanish Mackerel on a 46ft Randell very comfortable we had 12 on our trip and there was so much spare room and the deck hand was fantastic.
