What to Expect

Discover the beauty of the Northern Territory’s Mary River wetlands and Corroboree Billabong on this unforgettable Top End helicopter scenic flight adventure, available seasonally from April to September from Darwin.  Begin with a breathtaking scenic flight of up to one hour, where sweeping views showcase the diversity of this remarkable landscape. After landing, step aboard a purpose-built safari boat for a 90-minute Wetlands Cruise, winding through a maze of waterways lined with vibrant vegetation.

Along the way, witness the natural spectacle of the Top End’s wildlife. The billabong is alive with saltwater crocodiles, wallabies grazing along the banks, and buffalo moving through the floodplains.
