Frequently Asked Questions about Corroboree Billabong | 2 Hour Sunrise Wetland Cruise
Is drinking water available on the boat?
Yes, there is cold water available for passengers during the cruises.
Are toilet facilities available at the cruise?
Yes, there is a public toilet available in the carpark area at Corroboree Billabong. There are no toilet facilities on the boat, so please allow time to use the public toilet before boarding the cruise.
Is there shade on the boat?
Yes, the boat has a full-length canopy so there is always some shade available. Depending on your cruise time and your seat on the boat though, there is a possibility that you may be in the sun at some stage. It's recommended to bring sunscreen.
Can we bring infants on the cruise?
Yes, but please consider other passengers as this is a nature-based cruise in peaceful surroundings. You know your infant best and whether or not they would be content for the duration of a cruise. We would generally suggest the shorter duration cruises to be the most suitable option.
Will we see crocodiles on the cruise?
It's rare that the cruise does not see any crocodiles at all. The time of year and the time of day that you take a cruise will determine if the crocs are swimming in the water or sunning themselves on the bank. In the cooler months, it's more likely the crocodiles will be underwater as the temperature is warmer than the surface.
Will we see many birds on the cruises?
Yes, definitely. We generally see about 30 different species of birds on our cruises.
Which cruises are best for birdlife?
Generally speaking the early morning or late afternoon cruises are best for birdlife. In saying that, we see just as much on the 2.5-hour midday cruise because there is time to cover a greater section of the wetlands than in the shorter duration cruises
What is the best time of year to visit?
These wetlands are only accessible from April to November. They are beautiful throughout this complete period with an abundance of water lilies, fantastic wildlife, and plenty of birds.
