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.

This tour has been designed to suit fit, active people mainly ranging in age from 18-35 years. As This tour take you into remote areas and avoid crowds. Wilderness tours are designed to provide passengers with a 'hands on' wilderness camping experience. The guides possess extensive knowledge of the flora, fauna, geology and culture of these Top End Regions and are very enthusiastic about showing passengers the local wildlife. A 9 seater Toyota Troop carrier is usually used as transport and luggage and camping gear is towed in a trailer. This is a 100% outdoor camping safari where you sleep in tents or swags usually ruffing it out in nature.

This tour is a fast paced, action packed adventure that covers all the major highlights that the Top End has to offer. We spend a day visiting the many fantastic waterfalls in Litchfield National Park, have fun canoeing for half a day on Katherine Gorge, then spend the last two and a half days enjoying some amazing places in Kakadu National Park.

Litchfield. Pick-up from your accommodation at 6:30am.

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 which means that there are no long hauls in the tour vehicle for the rest of the day. Swim in the crystal clear rockpools of Buley Rockholes before a short drive to the famous Wangi Falls for a quick swim. The viewing area at Tolmer Falls provides you with the perfect location to watch the falls descending from a narrow gorge into a beautiful plunge pool. We hold a Special Permit that allows us to access the Upper Tolmer Falls area with our groups, so after a scenic bushwalk you can swim in a secluded location at the top of Tolmer Falls.

As we leave Litchfield National Park we pass by floodplains scattered with hundreds of Meridian Termite Mounds and we make a brief stop to learn more about the inhabitants of these amazing structures. We drive south from here and make our way to an overnight bushcamp near Katherine after a day full of swimming, adventure and great scenery.

Kakadu. 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.

After lunch 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!! Enjoy relaxing on the beach for a while as you take in the scenery surrounding you which can best be described as breath taking. 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.

A short climb to the top of Ubirr Rock will reward you with a 360 degree view over floodplains and the Arnhemland Escarpment - a spectacular sight.

Leaving Ubirr rock behind us, we head down the Arnhem Highway and drop into Mamukala Wetlands which offers the bird enthusiast a small paradise at various times of the year.

What better way to end the day 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 wont leave you disappointed.
