Overview
In a secluded corner of the resplendent Finniss River region, you’ll experience the wonders of nature up close as you relish an airboat cruise, crocodile encounter, and spectacular scenic flight over a truly awe-inspiring area. Swim with crocodiles, soar over the landscape, and fire your imagination. In the evening, watch a sensational sunset from the open deck and stargaze around a fire pit, before settling down in your deluxe Lotus Belle tent.
The scenic airboat cruise is an unbeatable wildlife adventure, transporting you along alluring waterways past crocodiles gliding silently under the sun. With the help of your guide, spot the glinting backs of these incredible prehistoric beasts, as well as breathtakingly beautiful birds and other local wildlife that’ll peer out to catch a glimpse of the boat.
Experience the thrill of a live feeding and interaction with monster crocodiles, rescued by National Geographic’s ‘Outback Wrangler’ - Matt Wright! There’s even the opportunity for an unforgettable swim in the country’s only nature-based, croc-safe swimming pool, where you’ll be able to swim face-to-face with wild saltwater crocodiles!
Board the helicopter for a once-in-a-lifetime flight over the phenomenal floodplains and remarkable landscapes of the Litchfield region, soaring over spectacular scenery and spotting local wildlife. You’ll see the Australian landscape from a truly unbeatable angle.
Inspired and invigorated, return to the sky deck to witness a sublime sunset settling over the dazzling floodplains, bathing the landscape in fiery gold. Settle down for a gourmet dinner, then sit back and enjoy spectacular stargazing from around the fire pit. Feeling the draw of sleep, retreat into your deluxe Lotus Belle tent for a restful night, greeted in the morning by the breathtaking Australian sun and a delicious BBQ breakfast.
