About This Adventure

Kakadu Fishing Tours offers you an exhilarating day Barramundi fishing on some of Kakadu's breathtaking waterways.

Duration:

5.5 hours

You will be picked up from your Jabiru accommodation at either 6am returning 11.30am or 2pm returning 7.30pm. We are the only fishing tour company fishing the beautiful East Alligator River up-stream from the famous ‘Cahill Crossing’. This area offers the chance to catch both fresh water and the more prized salt water Barramundi. Our largest 135cm Barra was landed here. Our half day tours target the best fishing times being early morning and late arvo where the ‘Barra’ often fire up. The upstream side of the East Alligator is also arguably one of the most scenic rivers in the Top End as it borders the magnificent Arnhem Land Escarpment. Whilst landing a ‘Barra’ is always the priority you won’t be disappointed with the sites this river offers including the always present Salt Water Crocodiles.

More info:

My wife Jodi and I have owned and operated Kakadu Fishing Tours since 2004. We moved to the N.T from Adelaide with our 2 children Maddie and Ryan in 2003 to pursue a more relaxed and enjoyable lifestyle. The opportunity to purchase this well established business in Kakadu felt like it was ‘meant to be’.

What to bring:

Some food if you're going to get hungry - we offer everything else including soft drinks and cold water along the way!
