Top End Safari Camp Day Tour

This is a full-on day trip for travellers who want to pack a lot into one booking. You’ll get a mix of aerial views, fast-paced wildlife spotting and slower time on the water, all centred around the Litchfield region’s floodplains and wetlands. It’s not a cheap day out, but it covers several different experiences in one go, including a scenic helicopter flight, an airboat ride, a billabong cruise with brunch and close-up crocodile viewing. Darwin pick-up and drop-off is included, or you can self-drive.

The day starts with transport from Darwin or your own arrival on site. Once there, you’ll head up for a 10-minute scenic helicopter flight over the floodplains, giving you a look at the landscape from above. Back on the ground, the pace shifts with an airboat ride through channels and into rainforest areas, where you may spot crocodiles, birds and buffalo. There’s also a slower cruise along Sweets Lagoon billabong, which is better for photos and birdwatching, and this is paired with brunch. You’ll also have access to the croc-safe swimming pool, where you can swim while seeing a wild saltwater crocodile nearby, and the day wraps up with a feeding presentation featuring rescue crocodiles handled by experienced guides.
