About Yellow Water Billabong Cruise
Yellow Water (Ngurrungurrudjba) is the iconic wetland of Kakadu — a vast floodplain billabong fringed by paperbarks, pandanus and lily pads, and home to over a third of Australia's bird species.
Sunrise and sunset cruises glide silently across the still water, offering close encounters with giant saltwater crocodiles, jabiru, sea eagles, brolga and magpie geese in their thousands.
