Embark on a 3-day 4WD safari through Kakadu and Litchfield. Discover ancient rock art, cruise wetlands, and swim in stunning plunge pools.
Darwin to Kakadu National Park
Kakadu National Park - Start your adventure by departing from Darwin and heading out to the Mary River Wetlands region onboard the Corroboree Billabong Wetland Cruise. A great opportunity to spot a huge range of Top End birdlife, not to mention some apex predators… crocodiles!
We journey on to Kakadu National Park visiting the Bowali Visitor Centre which offers a beautiful introduction to the Park’s landscape and wildlife. After some relaxation at camp, we will journey north to *Cahills Crossing on the border of Kakadu and Arnhem Land. We will visit one of the best-preserved collections of Aboriginal rock art in the world at Ubirr rock upon sunset. This incredibly significant site showcases many styles of rock art and allows us to climb up high for a sunset that will blow you away looking out over the Nadab Floodplain. After a big day, we head back to our cozy private camp and prepare dinner together, enjoying an evening with our fellow travellers.
Kakadu Waterfalls & Plunge Pools
Kakadu National Park - We rise and shine early on day 2 and make our way south into Kakadu NP. Today we’ll spend the day soaking up the spectacular natural beauty of the area, hiking through monsoon rainforests, and swimming in pristine plunge pools and waterfalls surrounded by steep escarpments and rocky cliffs.
We aim to visit one or more of the available waterfalls depending on the group’s physical ability to complete the hike(s). This can include any of the following: Motor Car Falls, Moline Rockhole, Maguk (Barramundi Gorge), or Jim Jim Falls.
Time permitting, we stop at Burrungkuy (Nourlangie Rock), another indigenous rock art sites dating back over 20,000 years old. We explore the evolving social, cultural and environmental changes to the area over time before heading back to camp for dinner and a well-earned rest. Driving Distance: 420km. Hike Distance and Grading: 1km loop Grade 3, flat pathways and a gradual climb up a rock face to the vantage point on top. Requires moderate fitness and mobility.
Litchfield National Park to Darwin
Litchfield National Park - An exciting day awaits as we head out of Kakadu National Park and travel towards Litchfield National Park.
We will spend the afternoon immersed in Litchfield’s natural oasis of waterfalls, spring-fed streams and rugged sandstone escarpments. We’ll spend time in any combination of Buley Rockholes, Wangi Falls or Florence Falls for a refreshing soak in picturesque rock holes and waterfalls.
