Guided airboat tours and river cruises at Corroboree Billabong; an amazing wetland ecosystem with colourful flora lined waterways, many types of native birds, buffalo and crocodiles (saltwater & freshwater). Conceived from a mutual awe for the wetlands and surrounding habitats, Wildlands Wetlands Safari Cruises is a concept born from a collective of over 75 years of living and experiencing everything the Northern Territory has to offer.
Situated at Corroboree Billabong, just 90 minutes drive from the city of Darwin along the Arnhem Highway, you can explore this amazing wetland system by gliding across the floodplains on an airboat or by cruising along the waterways in custom-made boats.
All tours are conducted by knowledgeable guides who are happy to answer your questions about the wildlife and ecosystem throughout the tour. We have a strict policy of only passive observation when it comes to the fauna found within and around the maze of waterways but also promote a hands-on interactive approach to the astonishing flora that envelops the region.
If one place had to be chosen as a single destination to exhibit what makes the flora and fauna so special in the Top End, then this is the place. We'll see you on the billabong soon!

Travelling from Darwin, head south on the Stuart Highway for approx 35km then turn left onto the Arnhem Highway. Travel approx 55km then turn left onto the Corroboree Billabong Access Road (just after the Corroboree Park Tavern).
