We'll explore monsoon forests, spectacular escarpment country, and the amazing biodiversity of Kakadu's landscapes, home to many endemic species of flora and fauna. Day 1: Darwin - Kakadu National Park We drive from Darwin to the wetlands region of WakWak, an hour outside of Darwin, where top-end scenery is on display. Continuing our journey, we arrive in Kakadu National Park, 300 km east of Darwin, and check into our local accommodation. We tour the Bowali Visitor Center before heading to the East Alligator region, the most north-eastern point of Kakadu, for a cultural tour. Guests will join the Guluyambi Cultural Cruise on the East Alligator River bordering Kakadu and Arnhem Land to learn about the creation stories of the area, observe magnificent birdlife, and, of course, see crocodiles. Visit Ubirr Rock, home to some of the best-preserved Aboriginal rock art in the world, and climb high for a spectacular sunset. Meals: L, D. Drive Distance: 420km. Hike & Grading: 1km loop Grade 2-3. Day 2: Kakadu National Park The day is spent exploring art galleries and cultural centers that tell the stories of former and present clan groups of Kakadu and Arnhem Land. We will journey on a guided walk through the Burrungkuy (Nourlangie) art site areas, visiting Kunwarddewardde Lookout, Anbangbang Billabong, Nawurlandja, and Naguluwurr. Enjoy the impressive views of escarpments, savannah woodlands, lowlands, and floodplains, and listen to stories and artwork from local traditional owners. After a spectacular sunset on day two of your adventure, we head back to our accommodation for our evening meal and restful sleep. Meals: B, L, D. Drive Distance: 150km. Hike & Grading: 1km grade 2. Day 3: Kakadu - Katherine After a leisurely morning, we head south toward Katherine and Nitmiluk. Showcasing the earthy colours of typical Northern Australian bushland.

GetYourGuide traveler – AustraliaAugust 26, 2023 – Verified booking
Loved all the sights and areas we were taken to - the guide whilst knowledgeable didn’t engage super well with the bus group and made it clear from first day he was there to take us to sights only not to sort out any other issues we may have eg with accom booking etc - didn’t really instill great trust in his care factor if anyone hurt themselves etc and he was clearly not there to assist anyone with any physical requirements so if u are not moderately fit do not expect any help Also the cooking /meals were very basic had same lunch everyday recycled from day prior and again note that the meals as listed are absolutely all u get and with minimal options to buy snacks make sure u are well prepared in advance and bring all snacks for in between meals with u purchased pre trip starting Staff member cooking whilst lovely served raw chicken one night as had been in slow cookers for 1 hr only made us wonder what food prep education she had - could’ve been a bad outcome Accom very basic

Our guides Jay and.Bec we’re brilliant and knowledgeable and provided great insight to Kakadu. Both were super friendly and able to accommodate varying degrees of mobility amongst our group. All food arrangements worked extremely well and our group assisted with preparation, cooking and clearing up as well as packing when moving accommodation.
