Closure of Original Adelaide River Croc Tours

After 38 years of operation, the Original Adelaide River Croc Tours, also known as the Original, will be closing down on October 31, 2023. The closure is attributed to the increasing number of small crocodile jumping tours that have been granted permits by the Northern Territory Government. The owner of the Original expressed concerns about the safety of combining small vessels with large crocodiles, and suggested that the government needs to revise their permitting process. Despite the closure, the owner remains committed to ensuring the safety of passengers and hopes for changes that will prioritize safety.
