Day Kakadu Highlights
Accommodated touring options
Start and returning to Darwin
|
|
The
world heritage listed Kakadu National Park lies
east of Darwin and is a very special place. Discover
within its boundaries an entire river with all
the associated ecosystems and experience an ancient
culture up to 40,000 years old. Anytime is a good
time to visit. Apr-May finds the country side
still fresh from recent rains and alive with growth.
Jun-Sep brings clear blue skies, access to most
areas as rivers recede and the coolest months
to visit. Oct-Dec is the hottest time and is the
best time for wildlife watching. Jan-Mar sees
the most rainfall but to see the landscape come
alive with waterfalls and the spectacular lightning
storms on the horizon is a once in a lifetime
opportunity.
Operates
all year, subject to park access. Kakadu Culture
Camp content available 01 April to end
November.

After a short drive from Cooinda

waterfall and clear plunge pool with the opportunity to swim.
Late afternoon we return to Darwin on the old 4WD Jim Jim
