Adventure Tours

Litchfield NP

Day 1: Leaving Darwin, journey south to the beautiful Litchfield National Park where you visit waterfalls that flow all year round. Litchfield National Park is to soak up the tranquility of the tropics. Explore Florence Falls, Wangi Falls and Buley Rockholes. Enjoy a picnic lunch, stroll through steamy rainforests and cool off with a dip in one of Litchfield’s picture perfect swimming holes. Finish the day in the spectacular Mary River Wetlands where the exotic birds are not the only wildlife to see. Keep a watch for lurking crocodiles on an afternoon wildlife cruise. Enjoy an outback Aussie pub meal before climbing into your bed for a well-earned rest at their Mary River region camping spot. (LD)

Day 2: Head to Kakadu National Park where you discover ancient Aboriginal rock art at Ubirr. Here you guide will lead an interpretive cultural walk through the different rock art galleries before you climb to the top of a rocky lookout for fabulous views over the Nardab floodplain. Next head to Maguk (Barramundi Gorge) where a hike is rewarded with a reviving swim in the in the beautiful clear plunge pools. At night relax poolside and enjoy a group dinner at the Bistro at our Jabiru campground. (BLD)

Aboriginal Rock Art

Day 3: In the morning you have the option of a scenic flight over Kakadu (at own expense). The sheer size of Kakadu means the only way to truly appreciate it is from the sky. The flight takes in views over the gorgeous Arnhem Land escarpment, vast flood plains and billabongs and gives you a true sense of the amazing diversity of the Kakadu ecosystems. Spend time exploring Kakadu’s other major Aboriginal rock art site Nourlangie or Burrungi as it is known to its local traditional owners. Here your guide will give you a snapshot of how the local Aboriginal people have lived in an area with 20,000 years of documented occupation which is reflected in some of the rock art. After lunch, head south stopping to visit the historic gold-mining center of Pine Creek before travelling further on for a quick stop and swim at Edith Falls. Then continue on to Katherine and settle in for the night at your private campsite on the doorstep of Nitmuluk National Park. Fall asleep listening to the chatter of the outback night. (BLD)

Katherine Gorge

Day 4: Depending on the season, in the morning you’ll embark on a cruise along the inky waters of Katherine Gorge or take the chance to head out by canoe between red rock walls up to 230 feet high (both activities are optional at own expense). Formed by the Katherine River flowing from Arnhem Land to the Timor Sea, this 23 million-year-old natural marvel is one of the Top End’s true wonders. After lunch, experience a truly authentic indigenous cultural experience. This interpretive display will not only teach you about local indigenous culture but will also provide hands on experiences including fire making, boomerang and spear throwing and the chance to try painting your own indigenous artwork to take home as a unique souvenir. Then hit the open road and head back to Darwin to enjoy a night on the town toasting your adventure with new friends. (BL).
