ITINERARY
You will be travelling in an air-conditioned four
wheel drive vehicle and exploring this extraordinary World Heritage area
at a relaxed pace with guide who really knows his or her stuff.
DAY
ONE
After joining the tour we leave Darwin for Litchfield National Park. Our first adventure on the way is at Adelaide River. Here the Jumping Crocodile Cruise will take you down the river and you’ll experience the local wildlife and crocodiles in their natural habitat. We then travel into Litchfield National Park. This park is famous for its scenic beauty, waterfalls and safe swimming. This is where we’ll also enjoy a picnic lunch. Once we’re back on the road we’ll explore the giant termite mounds on our way to out overnight camp in the outback, at Mt Bundy Station. Tonight you’ll enjoy a unique “Territory” dining experience followed by a star talk and star gazing!
Camp: Mt Bundy Permanent Campsite (LD)
DAY
TWO 
After breakfast we will head out to Kakadu travelling via the scenic Marraki Track. There is plenty to see and do! First up today we head to Ubirr Rock – home to one of the most famous aboriginal rock art sites in Kakadu. Take time to learn about the dreamtime stories that inspired the art. After lunch we participate in the Murdudjurl Cultural Tour. It’s here you’ll spend time with the local aboriginal people, learning about their culture, way of life, bush tucker and arts & crafts. This is a unique and truly insightful experience. You’ll then return to camp to settle back for an evening under the stars.
Camp: Kakadu Permanent Campsite (BLD)
DAY
THREE
After an early breakfast, we depart on our big day out to Gunkurdul (Twin Falls) and Barrkmalam (Jim Jim Falls). These falls are in a remote area of the Park only accessible by four wheel drive vehicle, via a dirt track. The rock pools and surrounds are magnificent year round and well worth the journey. Twin Falls is only accessible by water therefore we take a short boat ride through the gorge to the beach at the base of the falls. After a picnic lunch on the banks of the river, we take the hike through the rainforest to Jim Jim Falls and its crystal clear waters. We return to the camp for dinner and reflect on an amazing day.
Camp: Kakadu Permanent Campsite (BLD)
DAY FOUR
After breakfast we depart for a cruise on Yellow Water Billabong. Watch
as native birds rest among water lilies, see saltwater crocodiles, wild
horses and wallabies in their natural habitats, and discover why this
unspoiled wilderness is a World Heritage listed landmark. We then
travel on to Anbangbang Billabong, to lunch in the shadows of
Nourlangie Rock before exploring this memorable rock art site. The
ancient rock art here provides a unique window into a rich spiritual
tradition. You can also climb to Gunwarddehwardde lookout for
impressive views of both Kakadu's escarpment and Nourlangie Rock.
(BL)
This is a camping tour. We use several established campsites
throughout the Park to make sure you get the best bush experience.
Sleep in two person tents, each with two single beds, sleeping bags
and sheets provided. All campsites have toilets and hot showers.
