WHITSUNDAY CROCODILE SAFARI
An exciting, unique encounter with crocs in the wild!
You cannot go past the crocodile safari on the
Proserpine River.
This particular stretch of river has the highest concentration of saltwater
crocodiles on the east coast of Australia so you’re almost guaranteed to see
them. Salties are rated as the most dangerous crocodiles in the world and
about 150 of them live in this river and its environs.
You’ll enjoy a scenic cruise to the mainland where your coach will await
you for the 40 minute drive through cane and bush lands. On arrival at the
campsite beside the river you will be greeted by your friendly ranger guide.
The timing of the cruise on the river varies, operating at low tide so you can
be sure to see the crocs on the mud banks. The cruise is in a large flat bottom
vessel offering plenty of security and great viewing of the awesome crocs.
You will get up close so don’t forget the camera!
On the other half of the tour you will
enjoy a trip on an open air tractor train
through the spectacular Goorganga
Wetlands. Your guide is an expert on
the local flora and fauna – wetland
birds, wallabies and maybe even a
snake or two. A delicious barbecue
lunch is included and at afternoon
tea time you will sample some
traditional tucker – billy tea and damper.
There is a maximum of 31 passengers per trip so your comfort and individual
attention on the tour is assured. This is a unique wildlife experience being
able to see all of these amazing animals in their natural habitat in the wild.
INCLUSIONS
• Crocs up close in the wild!
• Entertaining and informative guides
• Wildlife tour of adjoining Goorganga Wetlands
• Cruise through the Whitsundays
• Delicious barbecue lunch and afternoon “billy” tea
