The Wilderness 4WD Adventures

Our tours are a well organised camping experience designed for fit active people ranging in age from 18-40 years and the tour programs are a pertfect balance of good information and fun for those who have a thirst for knowledge and a love for nature.

Jump on board for 3 action packed days taking in awesome scenery and exploring magnificent destinations. 3 days tours visit the main highlights of Kakadu, but be aware, they are conducted at a faster pace than our 4 and 5 day tours.

Visit the Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre, also Twin Falls where you will get to enjoy an informative boat cruise with an Aboriginal Guide up Twin Falls Gorge. Our safari camp permit in this region allows us peaceful camping only 30 minutes drive from Jim Jim falls .

Pick-up from your accommodation at 6:30am. Our first stop for the day is an Exclusive Aboriginal Cultural delight as you are given a hands-on tour conducted by Aboriginal Traditional Owners from Biliru Tours and Cultural Experiences. Passengers will get the chance to interact with Aboriginal People and have a go at Traditional fire lighting and spear throwing at a moving target (pretend Wallaby).

Passengers will also recieve a Traditional Larrakeyah "Welcome to Country" spoken in Aboriginal and listen to information presented by Traditional Owners about their culture. Then view some fantastic kakadu bird life on the Marrakai Floodplain as we head down the Arnhem Highway on our way to Kakadu. What a better way to start the morning than by sitting back and enjoying our private crocodile and wildlife cruise on Corroboree Billabong, a part of the Mary River system. You are bound to see plenty of wildlife and usually a lot of crocodiles on a 1.5 hour cruise that won't leave you disappointed. We travel into Kakadu via the unsealed Old Darwin Road. After travelling for a while we take a break at White Lily Billabong for another chance to admire congregations of birds amongst water lily covered floodplains. Next we visit the Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre which gives you a great insight into Aboriginal lifestyle and culture with plenty of information and displays. Our day ends with a refreshing swim at Barramundi Gorge where you can spend some time exploring, rock climbing, relaxing or swimming in the waterfalls, the choice is yours. Tonight after a candlelit dinner in the heart of Kakadu, you can have a go at playing the didgeridoo.

This morning we make our way to Twin Falls where you will get to enjoy an informative boat cruise with an Aboriginal Guide up Twin Falls Gorge (own expense $12.50). 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. Alternatively, for the active hikers you can take the option of a return walk (7km) to the Top of Twin Falls which offers some magnificent views down the gorge and swimming in rock pools at the top of the falls. From here we make 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. Our safari camp permit in this region allows us peaceful camping only 30 minutes drive from Jim Jim falls and ensures that tomorrow you will wake up to the sound of the birds instead of the crowds. In the evening you can spend some time stargazing under the southern skies.
