Description

Day 1: Darwin – Kakadu

Our Kakadu & Litchfield 4WD Expedition begins from 6.30am from your nominated accommodation in Darwin (please advise your hotel a minimum of 2 days prior to departure)

We start our 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.  Following the cruise, we commence our drive toward Kakadu National Park.

Stopping to enjoy a picnic lunch near the East Alligator River, you will have the opportunity to spot some crocodiles and flying foxes!

Then, on to the world famous Ubirr in the northern reaches of Kakadu where some of the best examples of Northern Australian Rock-Art can be found.  Learn about the ancient paintings from your guide, explaining their meaning and history.  A climb to the top is rewarded with staggering 360º views over the Nardab floodplains and into Arnhem land.

Tonight, we camp at our exclusive safari camp at Mardugal Billabong in the heart of Kakadu.  Enjoy sitting around an open campfire enjoying a cool beverage or a toasted marshmallow.

Walking distance: 3 km |Meals: Lunch & dinner

Day 2: Kakadu

An early rise so that we can prepare for a big day of spectacular waterfalls and some great walks!

Following breakfast, we then make our way to Maguk (Barramundi) Gorge for a hike through a paperbark forest and some rock scrambling leading to the plunge pool for a refreshing 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 wonderful place to relax on the beach and cool off.

We finish the day with a short hike and swim at Ikoymarrwa (Moline Rockhole), a special permit area with very few visitors (time permitting).

Tonight, we camp at our private safari camp on the border of Litchfield National Park.

Walking distance: 4 km | Meals: Breakfast, lunch & dinner

Day 3: Kakadu – Litchfield – Darwin

Another early rise so that we can spend the day exploring the wonders of Litchfield National Park.

After breakfast, our first attraction are the intriguing Cathedral and Magnetic mounds that are prolific in this region.  The remainder of the day takes us to some of the Northern Territory’s most majestic waterfalls including Florence Falls and Wangi Falls.  Spend the afternoon hiking and swimming at Buley Rockhole’s and other spectacular locations.

We finish the day with a short(ish) drive back to Darwin, arriving at approximately 5.30pm bringing our Kakadu & Litchfield 4WD Expedition to an end.

Walking distance: 2 km |Meals: Breakfast & lunch
