Darwin to Kakadu National Park
Kakadu National Park - Begin your journey by departing from Darwin and heading to the Mary River Wetlands region aboard the Corroboree Billabong Wetland Cruise. This is a fantastic chance to see a wide variety of Top End birdlife, as well as some top predators… crocodiles!
We continue to Kakadu National Park, stopping at the Bowali Visitor Centre, which provides a wonderful introduction to the Park’s landscape and wildlife. After some relaxation at camp, we will head north to *Cahills Crossing on the border of Kakadu and Arnhem Land. We will visit Ubirr rock at sunset, home to one of the best-preserved collections of Aboriginal rock art in the world. This highly significant site features various styles of rock art and offers a climb to a high vantage point for a breathtaking sunset view over the Nadab Floodplain. After a full day, we return to our cozy private camp to prepare dinner together and enjoy the evening with fellow travelers.
Kakadu Waterfalls & Plunge Pools
Kakadu National Park - On day 2, we rise early and head south in Kakadu National Park. Today, we’ll spend the day enjoying the area’s stunning natural beauty, hiking through lush monsoon rainforests, and swimming in pristine plunge pools and waterfalls surrounded by steep escarpments and rocky cliffs.
We aim to visit one or more of the available waterfalls, depending on the group’s ability to complete the hike(s). This could include Motor Car Falls, Moline Rockhole, Maguk (Barramundi Gorge), or Jim Jim Falls. Various factors affect accessibility, but your guide will ensure you have the best experience possible.
If time permits, we will stop at Burrungkuy (Nourlangie Rock), another indigenous rock art site where archaeologists have found works dating back over 20,000 years. We will explore the area’s social, cultural, and environmental changes over time before heading back to camp for a hearty dinner and a well-deserved rest.
Litchfield National Park to Darwin
Litchfield National Park - An exciting day awaits as we leave Kakadu National Park and travel towards Litchfield National Park.
We will spend the afternoon enjoying Litchfield’s natural oasis of waterfalls, spring-fed streams, and rugged sandstone escarpments. We’ll visit a combination of Buley Rockholes, Wangi Falls, or Florence Falls for a refreshing dip in picturesque rock holes and waterfalls.
Discover the uniquely impressive Magnetic and Cathedral Termite Mounds before heading back to Darwin, arriving at your accommodation at approximately 7:00 pm.
