Small groups
and away from the crowds:
Our tours are all genuine small group adventures
in 4-wheel drive vehicles that can take us away
from the crowds as much as possible so you can
enjoy the tranquillity and grandeur of one of
Australia's best National Parks.
On this 2 day /
2 night Kakadu Tour we leave Darwin at 4.30 in
the afternoon and make our way out towards the
Mary River wetlands where we spend our first night
together. This is a great way to start the tour
as everyone gets a chance to get to know each
other on the first evening plus we start the day
with only a short drive into Kakadu National Park.
You will get to
experience many of the highlights of Kakadu National
Park aboard our 4WD with 2 action packed days
taking in awesome scenery and exploring magnificent
destinations like Jim Jim Falls, Twin Falls, Ubirr
Rock and more. We do plenty of hiking to remote
wildlife spots, Aboriginal art sites and pristine
waterholes where you can re-fresh your senses
with plenty of swimming or some rock climbing
if you're keen.
