Day 1: Darwin to Kakadu National Park (Lunch & Dinner)
Departing Darwin, you’ll make the short journey by road to the Wetlands area. You’ll have plenty of time to take in the incredible array of birdlife. There’s even the chance of running into a croc or two!
Entering the bounds of Kakadu national park, you’ll have the opportunity to take in Bowali Visitor Centre. We’ll head to the Cahills Crossing that connects Kakadu and Arnhem Land and enjoy the East Alligator River by boat. Learn more about this impressive region and its locals. They’ll be fishing for some barramundi (and hopefully not a crocodile!).
Next is the prehistoric Aboriginal rock art at Ubirr. Here we’ll enjoy the golden sunset and stunning views over the Nadab floodplain. We’ll finish the day off with a tasty dinner and a good night sleep at the resort in Jabiru.
Day 2: Jabiru: Twin falls or Jim Jim (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner)
From your base at Jabiru, day 2 kicks off with visits to some mesmerising falls! Ensuring your walking boots are neatly tied, you’ll walk for around four kilometres through the area’s monsoon forest to either Jim Jim or Twin Falls. Two of the most spectacular waterfalls within the national park, either one makes the perfect place to enjoy a picnic lunch.
The afternoon sees you return to Jabiru via the Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre in order to learn more about why Kakadu is so important to the Aboriginal people of the region.
Day 3: Jabiru to Katherine (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner)
Waking to the sound of chirruping birds, you’ll start day 3 by marvelling at the views of Burrungkuy (Nourlangie) Rock. Continuing your exploration of Kakadu’s highlights, you’ll follow a track through the bush to Kunwarddewardde Lookout, an escarpment providing unrivalled vistas across the area. A walk of 1.5 kilometres leads to the Nawurlandja Lookout and Anabangbang Billabong.
We’re not done 4WDriving just yet. With our 4WD we head towards the Barramundi Gorge (Maguk) waterfall where you can cool off at the sublime plunge pool of Maguk after a picnic lunch. You’ll then begin the journey to your stop for the night at Katherine. Here you’ll enjoy a big dinner before relaxing and going to bed.
Day 4: Katherine to Darwin (Breakfast & Lunch)
Some would say we’ve saved the best till last, with day 4 of your Kakadu Tour going to the Nitmiluk National Park Katherine Gorge. Here you’ve got the opportunity to do a boat tour for about 2 whole hours (own cost). You can also choose to go for a nice walk, which is either 1.4km or 4.8 return.
You’re feeling hot after that walk and looking to cool off? You’ll be able to do so at the Edith Falls, where you can also enjoy lunch. We’ll get you back in time so that you can explore Darwin’s’ city centre or chill out at the outdoor lagune with beach.
