Embark on an unforgettable full-day journey from Darwin to Kakadu National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage-listed treasure that spans more than 20,000 square kilometres of pristine wilderness. With its vibrant ecosystems, ancient Aboriginal rock art, and dramatic landscapes, this Kakadu National Park tour promises an immersive experience into the natural and cultural heart of the Northern Territory.

Your adventure begins with a choice between two incredible Top End wildlife encounters. Opt for the Jumping Crocodile Cruise on the Adelaide River, where you’ll get up close with massive Saltwater Crocodiles as they leap from the water—an exhilarating and rare wildlife experience. Alternatively, visit the serene Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve, a wetland teeming with biodiversity. Located on Limilngan-Wulna country, this rich ecosystem is home to water pythons, magpie geese, sea eagles, and even more crocs in the wild.

We then stop at Corroboree Park Tavern, where you can grab lunch or snacks (at your own expense) and enjoy a bit of local hospitality before continuing deep into Kakadu. Our next destination is the Bowali Visitor Centre, where interactive exhibits and informative displays help you better understand the Aboriginal cultural connection to the land and the ancient stories of Kakadu’s traditional owners.

Next, we head to the legendary Cahills Crossing—a notorious waterway brimming with wildlife and tidal drama. Often featured in documentaries, this spot offers thrilling chances to spot crocodiles in action. (Seasonal conditions apply.)

The cultural highlight of the day is a visit to Ubirr Rock, one of the most important Aboriginal rock art sites in the world. Marvel at paintings that are thousands of years old, depicting Dreamtime stories, ancestral spirits, and native wildlife. After walking through the art galleries, climb to the summit for panoramic views over the Nadab floodplain, stretching out across Arnhem Land—a breathtaking moment you won’t forget.

If Ubirr is inaccessible due to seasonal factors, we’ll explore Nourlangie Rock (Burrungkuy) instead, another stunning rock art site within Kakadu. In addition to its sacred art-filled shelters, it’s a top spot for birdwatching and native flora.

After a day rich with wildlife sightings, Aboriginal heritage, and iconic Top End scenery, we return to Darwin, where your Kakadu adventure comes full circle.
