Q: Can children join the tour?

Yes, children can join any tour. Children under 4 are free. Children between 4 - 16 years are half price. Please remember you are in crocodile country everywhere in North Australia. So please make sure that children are very croc aware and they stay well clear of the water’s edge. Crocodiles can launch themselves out of the water up to three metres. We recommend that you always stand five metres back from the water’s edge and never with your back to the water, as you might not notice subsurface eyes that are watching. So please make sure that all children are Croc aware and that they understand these dangers and are supervised at all times.
