Tour Overview

Your journey begins in Darwin before moving into Kakadu’s rich cultural landscape, where you’ll explore world-renowned rock art at Ubirr and cruise through the crocodile-filled wetlands of Corroboree Billabong. Swim beneath the red cliffs of Maguk, cool off at the hidden Ikoymarrwa (Moline Rockhole), and marvel at the towering escarpments of Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) on an included two-gorge cruise.

From peaceful bush camps to gorges carved through ancient stone, this Northern Territory adventure balances comfort with authenticity. Finish strong in Litchfield National Park, where Florence Falls, Buley Rockholes, and Wangi Falls offer some of the most iconic swimming spots in Australia.
