Experience the popular Wetlands Safari Cruise as above, plus an exhilarating, sensory filled Airboat Adventure! (45 minute airboat, 90 minute safari cruise)
Having a flat bottom and no underwater rudder or propulsion system to snag on things below, the Airboat glides freely across seemingly endless floodplains and into additional areas inaccessible by conventional craft. This is definitely on the list of must-do, iconic Top End experiences!
Being slightly longer in total duration, this option also includes a light picnic lunch.
Please note: minimum age for the Airboat tour is 4 years.
