Cahill's Crossing

Highlights

Cahill's Crossing is an incredible spot to see crocodiles in their natural habitat! Located at the crossing between Kakadu and Arnhem Land, it’s one of the best places to watch these giant reptiles in action. The best time to visit is during high tide when bait fish like mullet and barramundi attract the crocs downstream.

Fun fact: Crocodiles have been around since the time of dinosaurs! Watching them hunt at Cahill's Crossing is like stepping back into prehistory. It’s an unforgettable experience that’s perfect for nature lovers and thrill seekers alike.

Adult Supervision Recommended

The presence of crocodiles makes this area potentially dangerous. Always stay on viewing platforms and follow safety instructions with an adult nearby.
