Crocodile Tours
Salties, from a safe height.
Cape York's rivers and mangroves hold some of the biggest saltwater crocodiles on earth. From the helicopter you'll spot them sunning on the banks and cruising the channels — up close, but completely safe.
The apex predator
The Cape's biggest locals
There's nothing like seeing a four-metre-plus saltie from above — the size of it, the way it moves, the country it rules. From the air you get the perspective (and the safety) you simply can't get from a boat or a bank.
What to expect
Spotting from above
We follow the river systems and mangrove edges where the big crocs hold up, giving you a safe, elevated view of wild animals in their own country — no enclosures, no feeding, no interference.
- Wild saltwater crocodiles in their natural habitat
- Safe viewing distance and height at all times
- Brilliant for photography — doors-off available
- Easily combined with a scenic or fishing flight
Good to know
Wildlife, on its terms
Best times
Crocs love to bask, so cooler mornings and sunny days are prime spotting. We'll plan your flight for the best chance — though wildlife is never guaranteed.
Respectful & safe
We view from a height that keeps both you and the animals undisturbed. No baiting, no harassment — just observation.
Bring a camera
A zoom lens or a good phone is perfect. The aerial angle gives you shots you'll never get from the ground.
