Day 1:

Yellow Waters Wetlands
Turning off the Stuart Highway, we travel along the Arnhem Highway passing the major river systems and wetland regions into Kakadu National Park. After crossing the South Alligator River we begin to explore the World Heritage Area of Ubirr Rock where we climb up through the ancient Aboriginal rock art galleries to the lookout for the famous view over surrounding wetlands. We then visit the Bowali Visitor Centre with informative displays, and continue to Cooinda to join Kakadu’s fabled Yellow Waters Wetland Cruise to experience the beauty of the Kakadu wetlands.

Day 2:

Nourlangie Rock
The morning is spent in the Nourlangie Rock region and Anbangbang Billabong which includes spectacular Arnhem Land Escarpment views, ancient Aboriginal occupation sites and pristine freshwater environs. After lunch venture off the beaten track to Barramundi Gorge, where a 2km return walk through paperbark forest leads to a small waterfall and clear plunge pool with an opportunity for a swim. This walk is graded moderate with difficult areas requiring some agility in rougher parts of the track. (CB, L)
Accommodation: Cooinda – choice of hotel or tented

Day 3:

Jim Jim and Twin Falls
A truly enjoyable day exploring the majestic beauty of Jim Jim and Twin Falls. Access to Jim Jim Gorge is by a 900 metre walk over rocks. Active people have no problems. The falls may not flow throughout the dry season, but if there has been a reasonable wet season they will still be running up until late August and the plunge pool at the base of Jim Jim provides the opportunity for a welcome swim throughout the year. The surrounding gorges are a spectacle to behold as the rock colours continuously change with the suns’ position. Access to Twin Falls is by a short easy stroll to the edge of the stream and then a short boat trip up the gorge area to the beach at the base of these beautiful falls, with time to relax in the spectacular scenery that you are bound to remember for a long time.Access to Jim Jim / Twin Falls requires the ability to walk over rough terrain. (CB, L)
Accommodation: Jabiru – choice of hotel or cabin

Day 4:

Arnhem Land
Today we depart from Jabiru and visit remote, mysterious and restricted areas of Kakadu and Arnhem Land. Arnhem Land is Aboriginal land – a unique area where Aboriginal people live a lifestyle more closely linked to their true culture and heritage. This 4WD tour will visit Mikinj Valley, a superbly scenic area of sandstone outcrops and escarpments, forest, floodplains and billabongs. This is an area where Aboriginals have lived for thousands of years and by arrangement with an co-operation of the Manilakarr people, this unique tour will allow you to see places inaccessible to most. Hear of traditional land ownership, learn of bush skills, hunting, food gathering and preparation (bush tucker), view Aboriginal art in its natural state – no fences or barriers, or other groups … just art as it was created many years ago. Return to Jabiru late afternoon where you will be met by guide for transfer to Darwin, stopping briefly at the Bark Hut Inn for a meal stop (own cost) arrive Darwin at approximately 9.30pm.
