Before evening arrives, we’ll head to our accommodation where you can relax or enjoy a swim in the pool before a magical sunset cruise on the Yellow Water Billabong. Relax aboard the small boat as the sunsets drifts towards the horizon and turns the sky and water pink, keeping an eye out for crocodiles and other local wildlife.
