What you can expect

Join us for the adventure of a lifetime as we explore the wonders of Kakadu National Park! Departing from tropical Darwin, we journey through lush floodplains into the heart of Australia’s largest national park—UNESCO World Heritage-listed Kakadu. Spanning over 20,000 square kilometres, Kakadu is a treasure trove of biodiversity, Aboriginal cultural heritage, and dramatic landscapes.

Your day begins with a choice of two incredible experiences. You can opt for the Jumping Croc Cruise on the Adelaide River, where you’ll witness the power of saltwater crocodiles leaping from the water in their natural habitat. Alternatively, visit Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve, an ecological haven for birds, reptiles, and crocodiles, rich in cultural importance to the Limilngan-Wulna people.

Next, we make a stop at the Corroboree Park Tavern, where you’ll have the chance to purchase lunch or snacks and support the local community. From there, we travel deeper into Kakadu and visit the Bowali Visitor Centre, offering insights into the park’s natural and cultural significance, with informative displays on Aboriginal culture and the unique local environment.

We then head to Cahills Crossing, a well-known crocodile hotspot and one of the few access points into Arnhem Land. This area offers excellent opportunities for wildlife spotting and photography, especially when the tides bring crocodiles close to the crossing. Please note: access to Cahills Crossing is seasonal and dependent on weather conditions.

From here, we visit Ubirr Rock, home to some of the world’s most impressive and ancient Aboriginal rock art. Wander through rock galleries that date back thousands of years and gain a deep appreciation for the connection between the land and its traditional custodians. A short climb to the top offers panoramic views over the Nadab floodplain and Arnhem Land—an unforgettable sight. If Ubirr is inaccessible due to seasonal conditions, we’ll explore Nourlangie Rock (Burrungkuy) instead.

As the day draws to a close, we make our return journey to Darwin. Reflect on a day filled with natural wonders, ancient traditions, and breathtaking views. This day tour is a rich blend of culture, nature, and adventure—an unforgettable experience in one of Australia’s most iconic regions.
