Overview

Kakadu and Litchfield are the Top End's two headline parks, usually sold separately. This trip refuses to make you choose: three days, both parks, and a swimming itinerary that reads like a Top End wishlist. The Kakadu act delivers the culture and the big country, a wildlife cruise on Corroboree Billabong, ancient Indigenous rock art, Ubirr's views over the Nardab floodplains into Arnhem Land, and swims at Maguk (Barramundi Gorge) and Gunlom Falls. Then Litchfield plays the crowd-pleasers: the cathedral and magnetic termite mounds, the cascading spa-pools of Buley Rockhole, and Wangi Falls for the final float. Camps come with safari tents or swags (pillow and sheet included), toilets and showers at every site, a screened dining area and fresh, healthy meals across the three days. Park fees are covered; sleeping bags hire for $35. Groups of 5 to 16, BYO pre-mixed cans only. Pack a towel that dries fast, it'll work hard.

Darwin – Kakadu Pick up at 6.30-6.45am from your nominated accommodation in Darwin We start our Kakadu 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. After the cruise, we commence our drive toward Kakadu National Park. Stop & enjoy a picnic lunch near the East Alligator River with the opportunity to spot some crocs and flying foxes! Then on to the world famous Ubirr in the North of the park. Some of the best examples of Northern Australian rock art can be found here. Learn about the art from your guide and the meaning behind these special paintings. 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.

Kakadu Rise early for a big day of spectacular waterfalls and some great walks! After breakfast, we make our way to Maguk (Barramundi Gorge). A 1km hike through a paperbark forest with some rock scrambling leads to the plunge pool for a cool 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. We finish the day with a short hike and swim at Ikoymarrwa (Moline Rockhole), a special permit area with very few visitors (Time permitting).
