1 hrs of crusing along the slated river and saw numerous crocos on en route. The boat guide will stop multiple times to let us see the crocodile up front close as they fed it. Very nice and easy experience to see the crocodile up close, will recommend if in Darwin!

it was a long day but certainly worth it. Dip in Edith Falls was refreshing and the cruise down the river was relaxing, scenic and educational. our guide, Saana was brilliant too.

I had an amazing time on this tour as it was great to see corcodiles in person and get to know more info about them. The tour is pretty chill and amazing. I would recommend this one for solo travellers to try and join.

The tour guide was brilliant. very knowledgable and helpful. excellent driving skills and lovely interactions. one downside was that lunch didn’t have a vegetarian option. it would have been easy to include a quiche. I only had potatoes, salad and coleslaw with bread roll.

Awesome experience from the start. service was great. We had Purwa assisting us the whole night and she went out of her way to make sure we enjoyed ourselves and had everything we needed. The food was top notch! Great flavours and awesome selection. Also ordered oysters, which were very fresh. Also, the views were amazing and that sunset, I think Darwin has the best sunsets in Australia! Highly recommend doing a dinner buffet, would definitely do it again if we come back.

Litchfield is so beautiful, eapecially Florence Falls and Wangi Falls. The pickup and dropoffs are right on time, and the coach bus is super comfortable. The tour even provided water which is super helpful considering how hot it is. Our tour guide Steph is very knowledgable about history and even biology, couldn’t even ask questions because she already told us everything I wanted to know before I could ask one! I just wish we could come close in the Magnetic Termite Mounds.

What to know before visiting Darwin

Quick snapshot of City of Darwin

City of Darwin draws most bookings for Zoos & aquariums, Tours and Cruises, with outdoor, water and active experiences also well represented. Demand has a clear yearly rhythm: bookings peak in April and dip sharply in February, so the flow of visitors changes a lot through the year.

Best months to go and what to expect

According to Klook booking data, the busiest month is April and the quietest month is February. Prices move differently from demand: the priciest month is July while the cheapest month is typically September, so crowd levels and prices do not always align. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, aim for September or other months outside April and July; travellers chasing the peak-season atmosphere should plan for April or July when activity is livelier.

Tips for travellers

Most experiences here can be booked close to travel: Klook data shows typical bookings made about 3 days ahead and many last-minute options available. For peace of mind in peak months like April, consider booking a little earlier—around a few weeks out—while off-peak trips can be more spontaneous. Use Klook to compare available activities and lock in any must-do tours or cruises before arrival.
