Karumba Sand Island Sunset Cruises, operated by Croc and Crab Cruises Karumba, offer a unique sunset experience. Sunsets in this part of the country are famous for their beauty, so make sure you have your camera with you. The cruise begins with a port tour, and while not specifically a croc spotting tour, should any happen to be seen along the river, the cruise will certainly stop for you to have a look. Seven kilometres out into the Gulf of Carpentaria you will reach the Sand Island, Karumba’s best spot for viewing the sunsets. Here you will disembark, where you have the opportunity to dip your feet into the waters of the Gulf or enjoy a stroll along the beach before enjoying fresh cooked local gulf prawns, platters, fruit platters and drinks. Toast the setting sun with your choice of red or white wine (bottled), beer, bubbly or soft drink. Enjoy the moment as the sky changes from gold to glowing red in front of you, and blue to pastel pink behind you as the sun disappears into the waters of the Gulf.

Karumba Sand Island Sunset Cruises run most evenings from May to mid September, but bookings are essential as the trips fill quickly during peak season.

Croc and Crab Tours also run their signature cruise, the morning nature tour. The three hour cruise includes a port tour, morning tea, crab pot pulling, croc spotting and bird watching and feeding. Birds that you may spot include jabirus, kites and magnificent sea eagles. The morning cruise runs most Tuesdays and Saturdays and other days if numbers demand. Bookings are essential.
