Out and About With Tourism Whitsundays Crocodile Safari Adventure

For an end-of-year Christmas celebration to remember, the Tourism Whitsundays team ventured out on Whitsunday Crocodile Safari for a day that turned into a truly memorable adventure. Though the weather brought some rain and an impressive display of lightning, it only added to the thrill of the day.

Cruising the calm waters of the Proserpine River, we eagerly kept our eyes peeled to sight one of the many Estuarine crocodiles who have established themselves here. Our expert guide shared captivating stories about the area and its fascinating creatures as we immersed ourselves in the magic that creates a mangrove ecosystem, observing the inhabitants, including birds, fish, reptiles and crustaceans.

One of the standout highlights was exploring Goorganga Plains on a tractor-drawn wagon train, offering a unique and captivating way to experience the region's diverse wildlife.
Amid the stormy backdrop, we gathered for a traditional Aussie bush tucker lunch, sipping warm billy tea and enjoying fresh damper—the comforting taste of these iconic treats added to the authentic charm of the tour.

The Crocodile Safari was a true showcase of the Whitsundays' natural beauty and wildlife, offering a perfect blend of adventure, education, and experience. This adventure certainly leaves a lasting impression, whether under the sun or the rain!
