Itinerary

Day 1 – Darwin to Kakadu We travel west into Woolna Country where we receive a unique welcome from the Traditional Owners of the land, known as the “Cul Cul” or “Welcome to Country”. Experience the local Aboriginal culture including cooking bush tucker, playing the didgeridoo, basket weaving and spear throwing. Later, spot crocodiles (and other wild creatures!) on a cruise along the fresh waters of the Mary River Wetlands. After lunch, discover more about the land and its stories at the Bowali Visitor Centre. The whole of Kakadu is spread out before you at Ubirr Rock, where we spend the afternoon. Tonight we camp within Kakadu National Park. (LD)

Day 2 - Kakadu to Darwin Jim Jim Falls is our first stop today, and it’s a stunner! You’ll feel a bit dwarfed by the towering cliffs as we hike to the base of the falls. By now you’ve probably worked up an appetite for some lunch! This afternoon the spectacular gorge of Twin Falls is experienced onboard a National Park operated boat and along the boardwalk. Unwind for a bit on the sandy banks before we trek back to Darwin. (BL)

Terms and Conditions

 

Climate

Australia is by nature a warm and friendly place.  You can expect high temperatures in the summer but be prepared for lower temperatures at night and during the Australian winter.  Bear in mind that conditions can change quickly, especially in Southern Australia, and you should be prepared for rain and snow at times.

 

How much Luggage can I bring?

The vehicle has limited space so please keep your luggage to a maximum of 15 kgs in a backpack or soft overnight bag with a small day pack for easy access to camera, film, sunblock etc

 

What Do I Eat?

Our emphasis is on fresh food wherever possible and our meals are nutritious and varied.  If you are vegetarian or gluten intolerant we can cater for you, but if you have very specific dietary needs you may need to provide your own food, please discuss this at time of booking.  For breakfast we supply cereals, toast, tea and coffee.  Lunch is usually a self-serve sandwich and salads in the evening we have a cooked dinner.  We always carry water in the vehicle and you will often have the chance to buy your own drinks, ice-creams etc at stops.

 

Where do I meet the Tour?

Please ask your agent for your pick-up place at time of booking.

 

Do I need to reconfirm my Tour?

How Fit do I have to be?

NOTE:  Tours graded ‘3 boots’ on the Fitness Guide are only suitable for very fit and active people who enjoy basic bush camping.  They are not suitable for children.

 

Do I have to Participate?
