The Yellow River is a large wetland with lush rainforests, and is home to many native flora and fauna. It is a well-known attraction in the World Heritage Kakadu National Park (Kakadu National Park). Taking a cruise on the Yellow Water Cruise (YellowWaterCruise), visiting the scenery on both sides of the dead pool and observing wildlife is one of the activities worth experiencing in Kakadu. The suitable season for cruises is the dry season from April to November. At this time, the climate is relatively stable, and most of the animals love to gather near the water, so the chance of seeing them will be greatly improved. Especially from July to October, when a large area of lotus flowers cover the water, it is even more fun for the cruise ship to push aside the lotus leaves. The departure point of the Yellow River Cruise is at the Gagudju Lodge Hotel in Cooinda. After purchasing the ticket, take the shuttle bus to the boat point. You can book a 1.5-hour or 2-hour cruise. In the dry season, there are 6 departures a day. The 2-hour cruise in the early morning can enjoy the unique scenery of the dawn of the Yellow River. At this time, birds are more active and the light is good. The last shift before evening is also recommended, and the beauty from daytime to dusk will definitely make you unforgettable. The cruise ship fiddles with the water plants, and the blue sky is reflected on the clear river. Along the way, you can admire the trees and blooming flowers growing in the water, listen to various insects and birds, and occasionally see crocodiles, barramundi, etc. from time to time. Passing by the side of the boat, if you are lucky, you can see rare birds such as magpie geese, Australian cranes, storks, and white-bellied sea eagles. In addition to the regular cruises, you can also choose a night cruise, enjoy the tranquil Yellow River under the stars, or participate in fishing activities.
