Tour Description

Get ready to go full Top End wild on this unforgettable Kakadu and Litchfield camping adventure.

Over 3 epic days, you’ll travel through the Northern Territory, taking in ancient landscapes, waterfalls and Aboriginal culture in one action-packed journey.

Cruise through the wildlife-packed Mary River Wetlands spotting saltwater crocodiles, hike to breathtaking lookouts like Ubirr, and explore ancient rock art galleries dating back thousands of years. Swim in the hidden plunge pools, chase waterfalls like Jim Jim Falls or Maguk, and experience the raw beauty of Kakadu National Park like a true adventurer.

Then switch gears in Litchfield National Park, where crystal-clear swimming holes, rainforest-fringed waterfalls, and towering termite mounds deliver the ultimate tropical escape.

Choose your adventure style: sleep under the stars in a traditional Aussie swag or enjoy extra comfort in a permanent safari tent—either way, you’re in for an authentic outback experience.

This is more than a tour—it’s the Top End at its wildest, realest, and most unforgettable!
