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 the 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’s sleep at the resort in Jabiru.
Day 2: Kakadu National Park (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner)
Today we will explore a range of cultural centres and art galleries. This includes a guided walk through the Burrungkuy art site. Some of the stops along the way will include the Kunwarddewardde Lookout, Nawurlandja, Anbangbang Billabong, and more. If you feel like walking a bit further, we will also check out the Naguluwurr art site.
You will have plenty of time to explore each art site as you view savannah woodlands, lowlands, escarpments, and wetlands. Each location will come with different stories of creation and a range of artwork at the various galleries. After a day full of scenery and culture, we will go back to our accommodation and enjoy a delicious dinner before resting for another day of adventures.
Day 3: Kakadu to Katherine (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner)
Day three begins with a leisurely morning before heading southwest towards Katherine and Nitmiluk. You will be able to see radiant earthy colours as we wind through the Australian bush. You may also see lots of wildlife including cockatoos, wallabies, and buffalo. We will arrive in Pine Creek where you will be able to enjoy stories about the Overland Telegraph construction and the Pine Creek gold rush. We can also visit the Pine Creek Museum to learn more about the fascinating area.
We will check into our Katherine accommodation in the afternoon before making our way to Nitmiluk National Park and Katherin Gorge. Here, we will embark on a 2-hour NitNit Dreaming Two Gorge Cruise. The cruise offers a glimpse into the history of the beautiful area, as you cruise down the scenic river. After the cruise, we will make our way back to Katherine and enjoy another dinner together before our final day of exploring.
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 can take a relaxing dip in the hot springs before visiting the Top Didj Gallery. The gallery offers views of incredible art and the chance to experience bush medicine gardens
Are you 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 the beach.
