What to expect
You'll meet in darkness and head straight to Adelaide River for the highlight: a private boat cruise where saltwater crocodiles surface at the boat's edge during feeding demonstrations. The water is calm and the light perfect for photography. After returning to land, you'll drive through Litchfield's red dirt roads stopping at three swimming holes—each with different character and clarity. Between swims, guides point out the park's massive termite architecture and explain the landscape. Expect a mix of wildlife spotting, swimming, and driving with regular commentary. Lunch and drinks appear mid-afternoon.
Good to know
Bring swimmers, towel, hat, sunglasses and a camera. Children under 4 aren't permitted. The park entrance fee is separate—check with the operator about passes. All fitness levels welcome. Plenty of water provided, though bringing a refillable bottle helps.
