Kakadu Yellow Water Cruises

Yellow Water, located within Kakadu National Park in Australia's Northern Territory, is one of the most picturesque destinations in the region. Yellow Water is a vast wetland system that comes alive during the wet season (November to April) when heavy rains flood the region, transforming the landscape into a shimmering expanse of water. During the dry season (May to October), the water recedes, revealing lush green floodplains, creating a haven for wildlife. Needless to say, Yellow Water cruises are a must-do!

This breathtaking area is a part of the South Alligator River floodplain, and is famous for its rich biodiversity, incredible landscapes, and cultural significance to the local Indigenous people, the Bininj/Mungguy. A cruise through this breathtaking area offers an unparalleled opportunity to soak up the natural beauty and encounter the diverse wildlife that thrives here. We’ve picked out the best Yellow River cruises for you to enjoy, so pick your favorite and get ready to explore the wonders of this incredible destination!
