Frequently asked questions
Do children need a ticket?
Children under 4 years old are admitted free of charge. Tickets are required for all other ages.
Is the cruise suitable for wheelchair users?
Australian standard disability-compliant bathroom facilities and disabled parking are available on site. However, there may be some restrictions for wheelchair users on board — contact the operator in advance if you have specific accessibility requirements.
Where exactly do I go on the day?
Head to Window on the Wetlands at Middle Point, NT. It sits approximately 60 km from Darwin city centre, so allow enough travel time before your chosen slot.
Are the crocodiles wild?
Yes. The saltwater crocodiles you will see are wild animals living freely in the Adelaide River. They are not captive or trained — they come to the boat because they associate it with a food reward.
What happens if the crocodiles do not jump?
Wildlife behaviour can never be fully guaranteed. The guides use buffalo meat to encourage interactions, and sightings of crocodiles in the water are virtually certain, but the height and frequency of jumps can vary.
Can I bring food and drink on board?
Coffee and tea are provided as part of the cruise. Check with the operator if you wish to bring additional food or beverages.
