  • Guluyambi Wet Season Cruise

    Guluyambi East Alligator River Cruises, Jabiru, Northern Territory, Australia

    Kakadu’s tropical summer is when the whole environment responds to seasonal rains and explodes into life. At the height of the seasonal flooding, the Guluyambi Cruise operation moves from the East Alligator River to the Magela Creek. You'll cruise through paper bark forests, shallow waters – alive with activity, billabongs of lily pads, tall grasses, pandanus and fresh water mangrove where wildlife is abundant. Take advantage of the limited access in Kakadu during this time and enjoy a cruise in solitude. Operating February to March only, the Magela Creek cruise uses expert guides, the majority Aboriginal, and provides guests with an insight into local Aboriginal mythology, the wetlands abundant bush tucker, traditional uses for many plants and animals as well as bush survival skills required for the wilderness environment. There is a shuttle service to and from the cruise fro Jabiru. Please quote tour code GMC when booking.

  • Ubirr Combo Tour

    Guluyambi Magela Billabong Wet SeasonGuluyambi East Alligator River Cruises, Jabiru, Northern Territory, AustraliaGuluyambi Egret East Alligator River

    In Kakadu's Tropical Summer, Ubirr and the Magela Creek are absolutely stunning. This is the time of year when the vast wetland floods cut off the road access to Ubirr. You can experience the splendour of both areas during the narrow window of opportunity during the seasonal flooding on this Ubirr Combo Tour. Guests will cruise down stream through bark forests and out into the connecting billabongs on the Ubirr side of the creek. Then you will have the opportunity to view the rock art, absorb a little traditional indigenous knowledge and be inspired by the spectacle of the flooded plains from Ubirr Lookout. Operating February to March only, the Ubirr Combo Tour uses expert guides, the majority Aboriginal, and provides guests with an insight into local Aboriginal mythology, the wetland's abundant bush tucker, traditional uses for many plants and animals, as well as bush survival skills. There is a shuttle service to and from the cruise from Jabiru.
