Frequently Asked Questions About Kakadu National Park Tours
How far is Kakadu from Darwin?
About 250 kilometres to Jabiru, roughly three hours each way on the sealed Arnhem Highway. Kakadu covers close to 20,000 square kilometres, so the drive to a site inside the park can add another hour or two on top. Our tours depart Darwin and handle all of it.
Is one day in Kakadu enough?
It gets you into the park and to one or two major sites, and our one day tour ($290) does that well. It does not get you to Jim Jim Falls, Twin Falls or the southern gorges, which are hours further in on 4WD track. Two or three days is where Kakadu starts to make sense.
Can you swim in Kakadu?
In some places, not most. Estuarine crocodiles live throughout the park’s rivers and billabongs, and the safe swimming spots are limited to designated plunge pools that rangers survey and clear after the wet, such as Gunlom and Maguk. Never swim anywhere without a current sign saying you can, and follow your guide.
When is the best time to visit Kakadu?
May to September. The roads are open, humidity drops and the wildlife concentrates around shrinking billabongs, which makes the Yellow Water cruise at its best. June and July are the most comfortable. October brings the build-up heat, and the wet from November closes 4WD access.
Can you get to Jim Jim Falls all year?
No. Jim Jim and Twin Falls sit at the end of a rough 4WD track that closes during the wet and usually reopens somewhere between May and June depending on how the rivers drop. Our multi-day 4WD tours include them when the track is open.
What is the rock art at Ubirr and Nourlangie?
Some of the longest continuous rock art records anywhere, painted and repainted over tens of thousands of years, showing hunting scenes, ancestral figures and, at Ubirr, a thylacine that has been extinct on the mainland for thousands of years. Both sites are short walks on formed tracks.
What is the Yellow Water cruise?
The Yellow Water cruise is a guided boat trip through the wetlands of Yellow Water billabong at Cooinda. It’s a chance to see the wetlands and look for native wildlife, including birds and crocodiles, while lotus lilies can be seen in the water. Sunrise cruises are particularly popular for the calm conditions and early morning light. The Yellow Water cruise is included in our 5-day Kakadu tour with Koolpin Gorge.
What should I bring?
Water, more than you think, plus a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, closed walking shoes and swimmers for the designated plunge pools. Camping tours need a sleeping bag unless you hire one. Phone reception exists at Jabiru and Cooinda and almost nowhere else.
