Darwin: Kakadu & Nourlangie Day Trip Plus Billabong Cruise

Darwin: Kakadu & Nourlangie Day Trip Plus Billabong Cruise

Explore the landscape of Kakadu National Park on a day trip. Discover mangrove-fringed coastal areas that blend into expansive flood plains, lowland hills flanked to the east by sandstone escarpments, all interwoven between various open woodland and forest habitats. Visit the Warradjan Cultural Centre to view the informative displays depicting the traditions of the Aboriginal people, before your return to Darwin. There is also the opportunity for an optional 50-minute scenic flight (own expense) for a different perspective of this vibrant landscape. Next, join a local guide for a cruise on the famous Yellow Water Billabong. Search for saltwater crocodiles and the colorful range of birdlife for which this region is renowned. Teeming with wildlife in the water, land, and air, the many species that provide a diversity and concentration seen nowhere else add to the natural spectacle. See how the land takes on different forms and colors with the passing of each season. After lunch, travel across the Adelaide River and Marrakai Plains, and stop at Nourlangie Rock, where your guide will lead a walk to view the ancient Aboriginal rock art.

We had an enjoyable day, the guide Dennis on the billabong cruise was fantastic and we saw quite a few crocs! Our driver Michael was knowledgeable, especially during the walk in the park to see the rock art. Our lunch was delicious, I was worried about being on a coach but it was really lovely.

Wonderful tour with the highlight of a boat tour. The early rise was okay as we were able to sleep on the bus. Saw salt water crocodiles in their natural habitat moderately in disturbed (except by the boat which they are very used to) would definitely recommend.

The day was long but broken up a lot with breaks. Really enjoyed the commentary by our driver. Lunch was excellent. The billabong cruise was sensational. Highly recommend this trip. Was 13.5hrs from pick up to drop off but I’m not at all sorry we did it.

Great day out lots of interesting information as we went along and during the stops. Went on the optional extra flight which was amazing too although bumpy but they prewarn you about this! Super friendly guide great day trip!

All great. I loved the dry humour and conviviality of the guides and staff. The former were also very knowledgeable and well-informed.
