The Novotel Darwin Atrium has joined forces with Crocosaurus Cove to create a pretty snappy adventure experience.

The "Cage of Death" package provides intrepid guests with an adrenalin pumping opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the largest Northern Territory saltwater crocodiles in captivity.

Guests are suspended in an acrylic transparent cage on a monorail system above the crocodile enclosures a Crocosaurus Cove and then slowly lowered into one of the four chosen enclosures for an "experience of a life time".

For those seeking a less confronting encounter can "Swim with the Crocs" in a separate pool that runs along side the Crocodile enclosures.

Crocosaurus Cove is one of Darwin's latest tourism attractions and is centrally located in the heart of the CBD on Mitchell Street only 300 meters from Novotel Darwin Atrium.

Crocosaurus Cove also accommodates the largest display of Australian reptiles in the world, a two storey freshwater aquarium, turtle sanctuary and local NT Aboriginal art and culture displays.

Novotel Darwin Atrium's Crocosaurus Cove packages are available year round with prices starting from A$197 per night for two adults, including entry, while Cage of Death packages start from A$287 per night and include one "cage of death" experience.
