Kakadu Day Tour Itinerary

  • Pick up from Darwin

    An early morning start at 6am as we make our way to greet the sunrise on the dynamic Adelaide River floodplains. Enjoy a breakfast snack along the way as we head directly to the East Alligator River for intimate interactions with some of the biggest saltwater crocodiles living here.

  • Ubirr Rock & Ancient Rock Art

    Ubirr Rock is of cultural significance to the aboriginal people of the area. It is an outstanding location that showcases ancient rock art sites dating back up to 20,000 years. Here, is a great opportunity to immerse yourself in indigenous history and learn about the traditional owners and their journey through time. With the help of the vast knowledge of our local guide, you can hear about the stories recorded in art and how their techniques changed through the years.

  • Nadab Lookout

    It is worth the short climb on uneven ground to the top of Ubirr rock to see panoramic views of the spectacular Nadab floodplains. It is a moment to pause and appreciate the exceptional natural beauty of Kakadu National Park and why it is a world heritage listed park.

  • Lunch Next To the infamous Cahills Crossing

    Enjoy your delicious home prepared picnic lunch next to infamous Cahills Crossing where you can safely spot saltwater crocodiles, the world’s largest reptiles.

  • Guluyambi Cultural Cruise

    Your guide and captain on the 90-minute Guluyambi cultural cruise will be an Aboriginal countryman from across the river in Arnhem Land. Who better to learn the ways of the river and Aboriginal culture than someone whose rich cultural heritage dates back to the beginning of time itself?

  • Drop Off In Darwin

    Following the cruise we drop into the Marrawuddi Gallery before we begin the journey back to Darwin. Expect to get back around 7pm.
