You’ll be picked up in Darwin and driven out to the wetlands, with visits to Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve and the Window on the Wetlands Visitor Centre on the way. The main part of the day is a 2.5-hour cruise on Corroboree Billabong, where you’ll get a closer look at the wetland environment and the wildlife that lives there. Birds, crocodiles and other animals are the big drawcards, and your guide provides commentary as you go. Lunch is included, and cold water is provided on the bus and boat. Bring a hat, sunscreen, mosquito repellent and a refillable water bottle. Binoculars are also worth packing if you have them.
