This tour covers both Kakadu and Arnhemland National Parks, home to Australia’s richest Indigenous artwork.
This very active tour puts a large emphasis on Aboriginal culture while learning about the wildlife and landscape and exploring spectacular waterfalls. All of this, as well as a magical and award-winning 1-day tour of the highlights of Arnhemland as part of this journey.
We start our Kakadu tour by heading straight for a wildlife cruise with Crocodiles and bird watching. Fantastic photo opportunities. Then we commence the drive toward Kakadu National Park. Picnic lunch on the East Alligator Rivers bank (not too close!) with the opportunity to spot some crocs and flying foxes. Then on to the world-famous Ubirr Rock in the north of the park. Ancient rock art and staggering 360º views over the Nardab floodplain. Dinner tonight is a traditional Aussie BBQ. Toilets and Showers at Garnamarr.
After breakfast (2nd Day), we do some 4 Wheel driving to Twin Falls. From here we take the escarpment walk to the top of the falls for a swim in the crystal clear pools away from the crowds. Then we’ll find a shady spot by Jim Jim Creek for some lunch. A short climb up Budjimi Lookout will reward you with spectacular views of the ancient Arnhemland escarpment. After lunch, a 1km walk through monsoonal vine forest to the base of Jim Jim Falls for a relaxing afternoon swimming in the plunge pool and resting on the beach. Showers and toilets available.
An early start on your 3rd Day as we head to the Warradjan Cultural Centre to learn more about the local Aboriginal people of Kakadu. We then make our way to Barramundi Gorge (Maguk) for a 1km walk through towering paperbarks and crystal clear waters for a refreshing swim in the plunge pool. After a relaxing afternoon, we drop you off at your Dorm accommodation in Jabiru where you can relax, regroup and get ready for next days of adventure.
On your last day, we visit Aboriginal Lands (Arnhem Land) access to this area is restricted to a select group of tour operators. While you are in Arnhem Land a traditional Aboriginal guide will show you excellent examples of rock art on Injalak Hill (Long Tom Dreaming), this area has some of the best rock art examples in Western Arnhem Land and some say Australia. The view from the top of the hill is simply breathtaking, looking out across the floodplains and around the encampment. When we farewell our Aboriginal guide back at the Injalak Art & Craft Centre there is an opportunity to browse or purchase goods from this non-profit Aboriginal organization. This afternoon we are privileged to have access into the valley, with its stunning scenery of billabongs, birds, escarpment this is truly a place where you can escape and experience this unique untouched haven of the Northern Territory. Returning to Darwin approximately 6.30 pm finishing your expedition.
