Where to see a croc in Darwin

If you're thinking about visiting the Northern Territory, your trip isn't complete without seeing a crocodile. The Top End is home to one of the biggest populations of both saltwater and freshwater crocs in the world. Male salties average a huge 5m in length and can weigh over 500km - a true apex predator! 

Crocosaurus Cove

Get amongst unique croc experiences in the heart of the Darwin CBD at Crocosaurus Cove. You can easily spend a whole day here with the family, and the Cove is also home to a bunch of other Top End wildlife.


Cage of Death - Keen to swim with an apex predator? The Cage of Death is an adventure seekers dream, and is the only place in Australia that you can dive with a crocodile.


Swimming with crocs (kid friendly) - If the Cage of Death isn't for you, you can cool off in a pool with baby freshies right next door. Don't forget your goggles!

Big Croc Feed Show - Get to know some of the Cove's resident crocs, learn about their feeding habits and how they’ve survived for over 200 million years in the wild.  


Fishing with Crocs - Feed baby freshwater crocodiles from your fishing line and get an insight into how they catch their prey in the wild.
