ITINERARY DEC-MAR (APPROX)

Day 1: We head to the Adelaide River for a one hour boat cruise to watch large saltwater crocodiles leap out of the water up to half their body length. Awesome! Upon entering Kakadu National Park we stop at the Bowali Visitor Centre which contains a wealth of information about the flora, fauna, culture, management and history of Kakadu National Park. We visit Nourlangie Rock, one of the most famous rock art and cultural sites in the world, and Narwurlandja lookout where you can enjoy magnificent views over Kakadu and across to the Arnhem Land Escarpment. (LD) • Camp: Permanent Campsite within Kakadu (Toilets/Showers available)

Day 2: Today we “get away from the crowds” with plenty of hiking, exploring and swimming. These walks encompass Kurrundie Falls, Motorcar Falls, Boulder Creek and Gunlom (when accessible). We hold a Special Permit to a restricted area called Moline Rockhole which has picturesque cascades that descend to a waterfall with a clear plunge pool at the base. (BLD) • Camp: Permanent Campsite within Kakadu (Toilets/Showers available)

Day 3: Today we head back north through Kakadu stopping to view various displays on Kakadu and learn about the local Aboriginal people. From here we make our way to Gubara where we’ll take a 6km return walk past sandstone cliffs and onto shady monsoon rainforest pools with small cascading waterfalls. Our final destination before heading back to Darwin is Ubirr Rock (subject to accessibility), arguably Kakadu’s best Aboriginal rock art site. If Ubirr Rock is inaccessible we visit Nanguluwar art site which depicts a variety of art styles including the first European contact. (BL)

ITINERARY APR-NOV (APPROX)

Day 1 - Kakadu: We head towards Kakadu stopping to view birdlife in its natural habitat on the Marrakai Floodplain. Keep a watch for ‘crocs’ and other wildlife on a private crocodile and wildlife cruise on Corroboree Billabong, which is part of the Mary River system. Ubirr Rock is recognised as one of the most famous Aboriginal rock art and cultural areas in the world and a climb to the top will reward you with a 360° view over floodplains and the Arnhem Land Escarpment. (LD) • Camp: Minimal Facility Campground (Toilets/no showers)

Day 2 – Kakadu National Park: There’s 4WD action today as hit the track into Twin Falls. Here we’ll take an informative boat cruise with an Aboriginal guide through Twin Falls Gorge. Our 4WD traverses through sandy creeks into mighty Jim Jim Falls, where you’ll have the opportunity to cool off with a swim in the plunge pool. We’ll decide during the day which climb we take, but you’ll get to the top of either Twin or Jim Jim Falls today – it’ll be a rugged climb but worth it for the stunning views! (BLD) • Camp: Minimal Facility Campground (Toilets/no showers)

Day 3 – Kakadu to Darwin: We start the day with an exclusive Aboriginal cultural experience where you’ll learn about the Dreamtime and traditional bush-tucker and be included in some fun and hands on activities. Next up is a visit to Barramundi Gorge where you can spend time exploring, rock climbing, relaxing or swimming in the waterfalls. We begin our journey back to Darwin, with one last stop at White Lily Billabong to admire the congregation of birdlife and the water lily covered floodplains. (BL)
