After pick up from your hotel or accommodation, we head out to Kakadu. We travel across the Marrakai flood plains and take a boat cruise where we will spot crocodiles, bird life and explore the tidal river system. Continuing on into Kakadu we cross the South Alligator river before proceeding to Ubirr Rock where we see classic examples of Aboriginal rock art and spectacular 360 degree views. After watching sunset over the escarpment we travel to our campsite in Kakadu. During the evening we enjoy a hearty dinner. Sleep under canvas or in your air conditioned accommodation. (L,D)

Breakfast to the dawn chorus of birdlife around the bush camp before heading off to Maguk (Barramundi Gorge). Relax in the cool clear safe waters or explore this beautiful sandstone gorge on the Kakadu escarpment. There are underwater holes to explore if you are game! On our way to Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge) we stop off at Edith Falls for a refreshing swim (pictured above). Our route takes us through the historic mining region around Pine Creek before arrival at our campsite and dinner around the camp fire under the stars. Campers stay at our permanent camp at Springvale Homestead, accommodated passengers stay at nearby Pine Tree Motel. (B,L,D)
