Corroboree Billabong Photo Cruise

Sun, 23 Aug 2026
6:30 AM - 11:00 AM

Join us for a laid-back 3–4 hour photo cruise aboard the ‘Maree’, one of the vessels from Corroboree Houseboats & Fishing Boats Hire, on the stunning Corroboree Billabong—a great spot for birds, wildlife, and classic Top End scenery.

Maree is an extra-large, two-storey BBQ boat with plenty of space to shoot, plus a toilet on board for convenience.

We’ll meet at the Corroboree Boat Ramp at 6:30am for a 7:00am departure, making the most of the morning light. There’ll be plenty of time to shoot at your own pace and swap tips along the way.

A simple BBQ breakfast is included—bacon, eggs, sausages, fruit, plus tea, coffee, and juice.

We’ll be back around 11:00am. For those interested, Paul Thomsen will open Wild Foto Gallery (2300 Arnhem Highway, Marrakai) for a visit after the cruise. Check out his website here: WILDFOTO Nature Photography Tours | WILDFOTO

Easy, social, and all about getting some good shots.

Getting there

Corroboree is about a 90-minute drive from Darwin. The turn-off from the Arnhem Highway to Corroboree Billabong is on the left just 1 km past Corroboree Park Tavern (heading towards Kakadu). It is 20 km from the Arnhem Highway turnoff to the cruise at Corroboree Billabong, the last 2 km is on a well-maintained gravel road. Please allow enough time—especially with wildlife often on the road—or consider staying overnight at the Corroboree Park Tavern which is 20km from the Tavern to the Corroboree Houseboats (See map below).
