Kakadu National Park
Brimming with exotic wildlife and ancient Aboriginal sites, the Kakadu National Park is a captivating place to explore. See centuries-old colourful rock paintings at Nourlangie Rock, depicting many bush creatures including barramundi, goannas, possums and wallabies. Later, take the half-day Murdudjurl Cultural Tour to learn about the culture, customs and history of the local Aboriginal people before falling asleep under the stars. Enjoy another big day out, taking 4WDs over some of the region's most remote terrain to Twin Falls. Rainwater-fed, the waterfall flows only during the wet, but the plunge pool remains breathtaking all year-round. Sail through a spectacular gorge, stopping on secluded stretch of beach for a picnic lunch. Then it's time for hike through steamy rainforest to the cascading waters of Jim Jim Falls, the park's most iconic sight. Swimming in the deep blue pool is possible, but be wary of crocodiles!
Cruise along the Yellow Waters billabong, looking out for birdlife and big saltwater crocs. Soak up the scenic beauty of the Ubirr Rock escarpments and panoramic views over Kakadu before hitting the Arnhem Highway back to Darwin.
