See the Very Best
of Kakadu and Litchfield National Parks.
For those travellers wanting a good look at the
Top End but are tight for time then our 3 Day
Litchfield / Kakadu Adventure will give you a
good dose of the best that Kakadu and Litchfield
have to offer.
Our first day is
spent exploring Litchfield National Park which
is where many of the local Darwin residents chose
to visit with its rainforest walks, swimming in
wondrous waterholes, spectacular waterfalls cascading
off the Tabletop Range and those weird termite
mounds dotting the landscape that we'll find out
about.
Our next two days
are devoted to exploring the world famous Kakadu
National Park. Be prepared to view some of the
best indigenous rock art in the world at Ubirr
Rock and Nourlangie Rock. We visit Jim Jim Falls,
Twin Falls, go on a private Crocodile and Wildlife
Cruise, plenty of swimming in divine waterholes
and some great hiking.
Small groups and
away from the crowds.Our Kakadu 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 most popular
regions.

Day
1: - Litchfield / Kakadu Tour
Pickup
from Darwin CBD Toursit Accomodation Hotels, Backpackers
and Apartments.
Litchfield:
Pick-up from your accommodation begins at 7.00am. Our first
stop for the day is at the picturesque Florence Falls for
a refreshing swim after completing a short walk through the
surrounding monsoon rainforest. From here you will find many
of the waterfalls in Litchfield are close by meaning no long
hauls in the tour vehicle for the rest of the day.
Swim in
the crystal clear rock pools of Buley Rockholes before a short
drive to the famous Wangi Falls . Enjoy the view from the
lookout at Tolmer Falls where you can watch the waterfall
cascading from a picturesque narrow gorge into a huge plunge
pool below.
As we
leave Litchfield National Park we pass by floodplains scattered
with hundreds of Meridian Termite Mounds and make a brief
stop to learn more about the inhabitants of these amazing
structures. From Litchfield we get to view some fantastic
bird life on the Marrakai Floodplain as we head down the Arnhem
Highway on our way towards Kakadu. We finally reach our overnight
campsite after a day full of swimming, adventure and great
scenery. In the evening you can spend some time stargazing
under the southern skies.
Meals: Lunch, Dinner
Camp: Corroboree Campground (toilets/showers available)
Walking: 3 km
Day
2: - Litchfield / Kakadu Tour
Kakadu:
We start our day's highlights with a Private Crocodile
and Wildlife Cruise on Corroboree Billabong, a part of the
Mary River system. You are bound to see plenty of bird life
and usually a lot of crocodiles on a 1.0 hour cruise that
won't leave you disappointed.
Next you
can view various displays on Kakadu at the Bowali Visitor
Centre before heading north to Ubirr Rock. The concentration
of Aboriginal art at Ubirr is magnificent and is recognised
as one of the most famous rock art and cultural sites in the
world. At Ubirr Rock you will see some fantastic Aboriginal
Art sites and learn about the Aboriginal lifestyle and culture.
A short climb to the top of Ubirr Rock will reward you with
a 360 degree view over floodplains and the Arnhem Land Escarpment
- a spectacular sight.
Another
cultural experience awaits you next at Nourlangie Rock with
rock art depicting mainly wildlife and Dreamtime stories and
some paintings, possibly dating back more than 20,000 years.
A short drive from here takes us to Anbangbang Billabong where
you can enjoy viewing many varieties of water birds on a floodplain,
with Nourlangie Rock acting as an impressive backdrop. Next
we take a short hike up Nawurlandja Lookout where you obtain
breathtaking views over central Kakadu and across to "Lightning
Dreaming" on the Arnhem Land Escarpment. Tonight after a candlelit
dinner in the heart of Kakadu, you can have a go at playing
the didgeridoo around the campfire.
Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Camp: Garnamar/Muirella Park Campground (toilets/showers
available)
Walking: 4km
Day
3: - Litchfield / Kakadu Tour
Kakadu:
Today we get off-road in our 4-wheel drive vehicle and
start making our way to Twin Falls where you will get to enjoy
an informative boat cruise with an Aboriginal Guide up Twin
Falls Gorge. After a short walk down to the end of the gorge,
you reach a beautiful white sandy beach at the base of Twin
Falls - simply spectacular. Enjoy relaxing on the beach for
a while as you take in the scenery which can best be described
as breath taking.
Keep a
look out for local wildlife as we 4WD through creeks and sand
on our way to the mighty Jim Jim Falls. A swim in the plunge
pool at the base of Jim Jim Falls is sure to wake you up for
the day as you cool down in the refreshing water. To reach
the plunge pool, a 1km scenic walk through monsoon rainforest
is taken and has excellent lookouts over Jim Jim Falls. Take
your time to admire the awesome sight of the sheer cliff faces
that surround you from the base of the gorge.
Watch
the sunset as we head back to Darwin in the early evening
at the end of your 3 Day Safari. Leave your tour with memories
of spectacular scenery, magnificent waterfalls and having
had lots of fun with a group of great people.
