Kakadu National Park Tour

Your journey begins with a pick-up from your Darwin accommodation between 7-7.30am. Travel south-east to Kakadu National Park, stopping for a traditional welcome to country with Wulna Aboriginal elders.

Enjoy morning tea, damper, and a cultural discussion or walk by the billabong. After lunch, visit Ubirr Rock for a stunning walk past numerous breathtaking art sites to the top of Ubirr rock, offering awe-inspiring views across the flood plains over northern Kakadu and Arnhem land. In the late afternoon, drive south into the heart of Kakadu National Park to Djarradjin Billabong camp.

You will need to arrive in Darwin the day before your trip, ensuring that you arrive in time to attend the 3:00pm pre-trip briefing.

After breakfast, drive to Nourlangie massif and begin your walk, taking in one of the stunning lookouts of the Barrk and Nourlangie Circuit. Later, enjoy a short drive to Angbangbang Billabong for a beautiful walk teeming with bird life.

In the late afternoon, take a cruise on the Yellow Water Billabong, home to an astounding variety of wildlife including Brumbies, wallabies, salt-water crocodiles, and thousands of birds. Return to camp at Djarradjin Billabong in the evening.

Wake up to the dawn chorus of the multitude of birds. Today's walks will depend on access to Jim Jim Falls, determined by the Traditional Owners and National Park Ranger. Drive to Jim Jim Falls for an active experience, walking beyond the reach of regular tourist groups and swimming in the magnificent rock pools. If Jim Jim Falls is closed, walk in the Ubirr region, including Cahills Crossing and visit Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre. Return to the semi-permanent camp near Djarradjin Billabong.

Explore more stunning waterfalls and gorges of Kakadu. Walk through monsoon forest to Maguk (Barramundi) Falls, a deep plunge pool lined with blonde quartzite cliffs. Continue south to semi-permanent camp near Yurmikmik. Due to requests from traditional owners and national park, there is no alcohol consumption at Yurmikmik camp.

Embark on an expedition by foot deep into Southern Kakadu Buladjang Country. Visit Motor Car Creek Falls and undertake a decent walk (up to 11 km) through pristine monsoon rainforest, enjoying the unspoiled, crystal-clear waterhole and stunning views of the surrounding hills and woodland.

After the final night in the semi-permanent camp at Kamboolgie, pack up and head back to Darwin. Enjoy a relaxing swim and picnic lunch at a nearby waterhole before continuing north to Darwin. Arrive back in Darwin around 4pm and drop-off at your accommodation.
