Adventure Tips

Bring a flashlight with fresh batteries

A bright, reliable flashlight will help you spot the elusive eyeshine of crocodiles during the swamp night tour.

Wear insect repellent

Mosquitoes and other insects are active in swampy areas at night, so repellant will keep you comfortable throughout the tour.

Dress in lightweight, long sleeves and pants

Protect your skin from insects and scratches while staying cool in the humid coastal environment.

Arrive early for the feeding tour

Early arrival ensures you don’t miss this up-close encounter and the interactive stage show before the night walk.
