Itinerary

Day 1

Today we leave Darwin and travel down “The Track” to Adelaide River. We then travel through the back tracks to the old historic mining settlement of Pine Creek, site of a major gold rush a century ago and still a gold mining town today.

We’ll stop for lunch before heading east into the World Heritage Listed Kakadu National Park. This evening’s camp is at Gunlom Falls (made famous by the movie Crocodile Dundee). The beautiful Gunlom Falls is situated in the South Alligator Valley in the southern, less visited part of the park.

Upon arrival at camp we set off on an energetic climb to the top of the falls. Here we take in the breathtaking views and perhaps enjoy a swim in one of the many rock pools.

Day 2

This morning we continue our journey to through the South Alligator Valley to Maguk (Barramundi Falls). Here we have the opportunity to explore the surrounding monsoon rainforest and take a swim in the beautiful plunge pool.

fter lunch at a picturesque spot, we head north to the Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre, an impressive building built in the shape of the local freshwater turtle. Here you will learn about the traditional Aboriginal owners of the park, their culture, beliefs and lifestyles.

To end the day we enjoy a spectacular sunset cruise on the world-renowned Yellow Water wetlands, with the opportunity to see the myriad birdlife and perhaps the awesome saltwater crocodile.

Tonight’s camp is at nearby Mardugal Billabong.
