This
unique small group tour (max 10) combines many
aspects of the Northern Territory that can be
enjoyed in one leisurely day away from the crowds.
Your
day begins when you are picked up by either
Harry or Morgan from your Darwin or suburbs
accommodation in a comfortable air conditioned
mini bus. This is usually between 8.15 - 8.30.
Alternatively
you can choose to drive to Howard Springs (approx,
25 minutes from Darwin) to meet us at 9.00 at
an easy to locate location.
Your
vehicle will be safe for the day on private
property.
On
the way to our pontoon we call in to Window
on the Wetlands where there are some interesting
displays and information on the region.
Then
it is on to board your 6 metre shaded boat to
explore the far reaches of the mighty, tidal
Adelaide River.
Be
sure to have lots of space on your camera
for the excellent photo opportunities that
will come your way. You will see territorial
crocodiles and amazing bird life at very
close range. Wild buffalo and pigs are sometimes
sighted.
Try
your luck at landing an elusive barramundi
or just sit back and take in the changing
vista of the river. Needless to say with
their vast knowledge of the region Morgan
and Harry are a wealth of information.
A
nice shaded spot at the rivers edge is the
perfect place for morning tea. This is followed
by more sightseeing then a sumptuous BBQ
lunch is held at our private Territory style
compound, a short walk from the boat. Toilet
facilities are available and there are big
shaded tables for dining. We even have the
kitchen sink! Any volunteers to help with
washing up are always welcomed by Harry
or Morgan!
