Yellow Water’s wetlands make it a premier fishing destination. Glide over the extensive waters and settle in for a glorious NT day!

You’ll find great barra here, plus, peaceful companions in the many fantastic bird species that live on the wetlands – from comb-crested jacanas and snake-necked darters to azure kingfishers and jabirus.

Yellow Water is also a popular Kakadu hub with Cooinda Lodge, campgrounds and various tours and activities nearby.
