Itinerary

Day 1: Darwin – Kakadu

Pick up at 6.30-6.45am from select accommodations in Darwin.

We start our Kakadu tour by heading towards Kakadu to join a wildlife cruise on Corrobboree Billabong. This is a great opportunity to observe crocodiles and the prolific birdlife in their natural habitat. After the cruise, we commence our drive toward Kakadu National Park. Stop & enjoy a picnic lunch at Mamukala with views across the flood plains.

After lunch, we head to Anbangbang Billabong. A hike up to Gunwhardewharde lookout provides spectacular views across the woodlands to the impressive Arnhem Land escarpment whilst taking in the vista of Burrungkuy and Anbangbang Billabong. After lunch, we make our way to Burrungkuy (Nourlangie Rock), here, we learn about the Dreamtime stories and the rock art of this region and its special significance to the traditional owners of this land. We then return to our safari camp at Mardukal Billabong and relax around the campfire after some dinner.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch & dinner

Day 2: Gunlom Falls Kakadu – Darwin

After some breakfast, we then make our way to Maguk (Barramundi Gorge). A 1km hike through a paperbark forest with some rock scrambling leads to the plunge pool for a cool swim in a pristine environment. We then head to Gunlom Falls in the Southern end of Kakadu. A hike to the top is rewarded with a swim in the naturally occurring infinity pools whilst taking in the panoramic views of Southern Kakadu. The bottom plunge pool is a must-see, and a last chance to relax before the drive back to Darwin. We return to Darwin via the historic town of Pine Creek, arriving in Darwin at approximately 5.30pm, ending our Kakadu tour.
