Experience two of the Top End’s top wonders with this 5 Day Kakadu & Litchfield Tour. From Darwin, you’ll travel across the epic landscapes of the Northern Territory to UNESCO-listed Kakadu National Park, home to some of the country’s most important natural and Aboriginal sites. You then also have the chance to absorb the extraordinary landscapes now protected by Litchfield National Park on your last day.

Travelling east by 4WD from Darwin, your meeting with the wilds of Kakadu National Park is only moments away. But before you get there, you’ll have the chance to spot this region’s wildlife from birds to…crocs!
The Bowali Visitor Centre will provide the lowdown on why the area became a hotbed of Aboriginal rock art, as you’ll see later at Ubirr. In the meantime, you’ll pass within metres of giant crocs at Cahill’s Crossing on the East Alligator River, on the border between Kakadu and Arnhem Land.
The day ends with a visit to Ubirr Rock to see an array of Aboriginal Rock Art and then a stunning sunset from a vantage point over the Nadab Floodplain. Finally, we’ll enjoy a night surrounded by the sounds of the national park at Jabiru.
Day 2 begins with an unforgettable Aboriginal cultural experience aimed at demonstrating the traditional ways in which the region’s traditional custodians have adapted to survive for tens of thousands of years in this sometimes-hostile area.
You then get to delve amid the vast canopy of trees for yourself with a short hike of around four kilometres to either Jim Jim or Twin Falls. The decision on exactly which to visit will be made dependent on cultural and seasonal factors.
Before returning for a second night at Jabiru you’ll be taken to Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre for a greater understanding of the culture and the management of this vast wilderness.
If the sunset of day 1 left you wanting more, you wouldn’t want to miss the sunrise over Jabiru, followed by a cooked breakfast. We’ll explore Kunwarddewardde and Burrungkuy (Nourlangie) Rock. If the name is new to you, this is the location of a second major site of ancient rock art, also known as the Anabangbang Gallery.
Man-made wonders turn back to the majesty of nature at Kunwarddewardde Lookout, promising extraordinary views of the Kakadu escarpment before you enjoy a picnic lunch beside the irresistible waters of Maguk Waterfall’s natural plunge pool.
Today we head slowly back to Darwin, stopping on the way at Katherine Gorge in Nitmiluk National Park. Enjoy a 2 hour boat ride (own expense) or go for a 1.4km to 4.8km hike.
We’ll then head to Edith Falls which offers the chance for a swim in the series of cascading waterfalls and refreshing rock pools.
After a delightful picnic lunch, we’ll back to Darwin where you can relax in your hotel or explore the city.
Although it only gained national park status in 1986, Litchfield still manages to cast a spell on those who make an effort to visit. A treasure trove of natural wonders, its dense tropical jungle slowly reveals all manner of hidden gems.
Arriving at the town of Adelaide River, you’ll have the optional extra of taking to the water once more on a Jumping Crocodile Cruise (own cost) or heading instead to Fogg Dam Conservation Centre. One of only a handful of wetlands accessible whatever the time of year, a series of boardwalks will help you uncover a plethora of species.
The tour continues by taking in the giant magnetic termite mounds nearby, as well as a number of beautiful tumbling waterfalls and plunge pools. Enjoy a dip at either Buley Rockholes or Wangi Falls and visit either Florence Falls or Tolmer Falls.
You end your journey around the Top End by travelling back to Darwin on the famous Stuart Highway.
