Corroboree Bird Tour
2025-2027 Tours
Join former park rangers and experienced wildlife photographers in a dedicated bird-watching boat. In the cool of early morning, explore remote, little-visited reaches of Corroboree Billabong with its extraordinary numbers of wetland birds, raptors and crocodiles. Then we’ll drive through distinctive outback habitats along the rugged Marrakai track, a now little-used route that was the original track to the Kakadu region
Learn about our region’s rich cultural traditions, stories and resource use on our small-group birding tour through diverse Top End landscapes, by birdwatching boat and 4WD vehicle. Take home images you’ll cherish and memories you’ll never forget.
5.30 am – 2.30 pm
Available every day unless booked out, from 1 April till 31 October. Also available as a private charter, including for expedition and cruise ship passengers. We can adjust the start and finish time for private charter tours.
