Best Kakadu Tours & Day Trips
Kakadu National Park is big. Like really big. Australia’s largest national park, Kakadu is bigger than many countries, covering nearly 20 000 square kilometres. And there is plenty to discover in this outback wilderness south of Darwin. Lands of the Bininj/Mungguy peoples, Kakadu is home to spectacular waterfalls, refreshing swimming holes and towering rocky gorges. Not to mention the ancient rock art depicting life here thousands of years ago. An adventure into Kakadu is an opportunity to explore some of Australia’s most impressive natural scenery while connecting with the incredible living Aboriginal culture.

Kakadu Day Tours & Trips
For travellers short on time, our one day Kakadu tours from Darwin will whisk you around the highlights of this amazing national park. You’ll enjoy the chance to spot the local wildlife, including the fearsome crocs the area is famous for. Be amazed by ancient rock art in situ then learn more about the local Indigenous cultures and their continued link to the land at the cultural centre. Throughout the journey, you will be in awe of the wild scenery that surrounds you. Budget conscious travellers will enjoy our 1 Day Kakadu Tour from Darwin or join our Kakadu Deluxe tour to include a buffet lunch and cruise on the Yellow Water Billabong.
For a more comprehensive experience, our popular multi-day Kakadu tours give you more time to explore the wonders of Kakadu National Park. Tours depart from Darwin and go deep into the spectacular Top End. Ranging from two to five-day adventures, the tours will have you discovering cascading waterfalls, serene plunge pools, and unforgettable scenery with our friendly local guides. Learn about the fascinating culture of the local Aboriginal people as you visit ancient rock art sites and view the strange formations of the giant termite mounds. Camping under the stars at night offers the opportunity to view the unforgettable night sky and sleep in the tranquil surroundings, waking to the sounds of nature ready for another day of adventure.
Our favourite Kakadu multi-day tour has to be the 5 Day Kakadu Tour with Koolpin Gorge. Our most comprehensive trip, this tour takes you to some of the most remote areas of the park. You’ll discover the natural highlights of this area including Gunlom Falls, Jim Jim Falls and Maguk (Barramundi Gorge) plus exclusive permit only areas Koolpin Gorge and Moley Rockholes. This tour has very limited departures from June – August so book early to avoid missing out on this amazing experience!
Kakadu Wet Season Tours (November to April)
From November until April, we alter our Kakadu tour itineraries to make the most of the tropical rainy season. As the influx of rain brings new life to the parched land, smaller waterfalls flow again and trickling creeks become raging torrents. While some spots become inaccessible, other locations spring to life, offering us new places to discover. Either join our 2 Day Kakadu Tour (Nov – Apr) or our 3 Day Kakadu and Litchfield Tour (Nov – Apr) to make the most of the unforgettable experiences during the Top End’s wet season.

What are the best things to do in Kakadu National Park?
These are the best attractions in Kakadu:
I’m over 49 years old. Can I still join the tour?
Our Kakadu tours are suitable for travellers of all ages. Many of our multi-day Kakadu tours are recommended for travellers aged 12 – 49 years. This is due to the remote nature of the locations we visit, the activities and the accommodation style on the tour. But if you have a reasonable level of fitness and swag camping sounds like fun, you are welcome to join the tour. Please let us know your age and any medical conditions when you book.
Why are your itineraries subject to change?
The Top End is a wild place. Many locations are only accessible during the dry season (May – October) and roads can be washed away by heavy rain. Locations may also be closed without notice for cultural reasons. Your guide will take many variables into account when planning your itinerary and it might not be exactly as described on the tour page. But rest assured, your guide will ensure you have the best possible experience on your Kakadu trip. So, relax and enjoy the ride!
Should I bring my own camping gear?
We’ll provide everything you need for camping except a sleeping bag. You can bring your own sleeping bag or hire one for the tour. Please let us know at least 48 hours before your travel if you want to add sleeping bag hire to your tour. You may also want to bring your own pillow. We’ll send you a confirmation email once you complete your booking with everything you need to bring on tour.
Will we get to shower on tour?
On our Kakadu camping tours, we stay at some remote campgrounds amongst amazing scenery. That means the facilities can be pretty basic. But don’t worry, all campgrounds have shower and toilet facilities.
Can we charge our phones on tour? Will we get reception?
For multi-day tours, shared charging facilities are available on our tour buses for you to charge your phone and other devices. Charging facilities are not usually available on day tours. Phone reception will depend on your provider and is patchy at best once we leave Darwin. We suggest you plan to be without reception for your whole trip. Tip: keeping your phone on aeroplane mode will preserve the battery but still allow you to take photos.
