Immerse yourself in the wild landscapes and rich cultural heritage of the Northern Territory’s Kakadu National Park on our 4-Day Adventure!

Day One: Darwin to Kakadu (lunch & dinner)

Following pick-up in central Darwin your 4-Day Kakadu Tour takes you east. You’ll travel by air conditioned minibus through the expansive landscapes of the Northern Territory and cross the boundary of Kakadu National Park UNESCO World Heritage Site. Continuing to Jabiru, where we’ll be staying tonight, you’ll have a chance to discover the region’s significance to its First Nations populations at Bowali Visitor Centre.

Crossing the croc-rich area at Cahills Crossing on the border of Kakadu and Arnhem Land. An important habitat for all manner of native wetland species, it’s the world’s highest concentration of saltwater crocs which is bound to hold your attention onboard your East Alligator River Cruise. The region’s extraordinary birdlife takes centre stage at your next stop at the Wetlands.

We’ll also stop at the Ubirr Rock Art Site for some incredible art and important history. Day 1 ends with sunset over the Nadab Floodplains before heading back to our accommodation for a delicious dinner and a great night’s sleep.

Day Two: Kakadu National Park (breakfast, lunch & dinner)

Day 2 is all about art and culture. We will head to southern Kakadu and Arnhem Land. Here we will embark on a journey through the Burrungkuy art site. We will enjoy many locations such as the Kunwarddewardde Lookout, Nawurlandja, and Anbangbang Billabong. If you want even more of an adventure, we can walk to the Naguluwurr art site.

After a day spent enjoying galleries, learning about local communities, and hearing commentary on the wildlife in the area, we will head back to our accommodation.

Day Three: Kakadu to Katherine (breakfast, lunch & dinner)

We will begin the day with a relaxing morning before heading to Katherine and Nitmiluk. Be sure to keep an eye out for the wildlife and gorgeous landscapes as we make our way southwest. We will arrive in the town of Pine Creek, where we will hear about the Overland Telegraph construction and the gold rush. We will also visit the Pine Creek Museum to dive deeper into the history of this area.

In the afternoon we will check into our accommodation in Katherine and then make our way to the Nitmiluk National Park and Katherine Gorge.

You will be able to learn more about the history of this gorgeous area while relaxing and taking in the surrounding sights.

After the cruise, we will go back to Katherine and settle into our accommodation. We will enjoy a final dinner together as a group before our final day in Kakadu.
