Itinerary

Day 1: Yellow Waters Wetlands
Turning off the Stuart Highway, we travel along the Arnhem Highway passing the major river systems and wetland regions into Kakadu National Park. After crossing the South Alligator River we begin to explore the World Heritage Area of Ubirr Rock where we climb up through the ancient Aboriginal rock art galleries to the lookout for the famous view over surrounding wetlands. We then visit the Bowali Centre with informative displays, and continue to Cooinda to join Kakadu’s fabled Yellow Waters Wetland Cruise to experience the beauty of the Kakadu wetlands. Accommodation: Cooinda – choice of hotel or tented
(Lunch)

Day 2: Nourlangie Rock

The morning is spent in the Nourlangie Rock region and Anbangbang Billabong which includes spectacular Arnhem Land Escarpment views, ancient Aboriginal occupation sites and pristine freshwater environs. After lunch venture off the beaten track to Barramundi Gorge, where a 2km return walk through paperbark forest leads to a small waterfall and clear plunge pool with an opportunity for a swim. This walk is graded moderate with difficult areas requiring some agility in rougher parts of the track. Late afternoon we make our way to Jabiru where you will be staying overnight.
Accommodation: Jabiru – choice of hotel or cabin
(Continental Breakfast, Lunch)

Day 3: Arnhem Land

Today we depart from Jabiru and visit remote, mysterious and restricted areas of Kakadu and Arnhem Land. Arnhem Land is Aboriginal land – a unique area where Aboriginal people live a lifestyle more closely linked to their true culture and heritage. This 4WD tour will visit Mikinj Valley, a superbly scenic area of sandstone outcrops and escarpments, forest, floodplains and billabongs. This is an area where Aboriginals have lived for thousands of years and by arrangement with an co-operation of the Manilakarr people, this unique tour will allow you to see places inaccessible to most. Hear of traditional land ownership, learn of bush skills, hunting, food gathering and preparation (bush tucker), view Aboriginal art in its natural state – no fences or barriers, or other groups… just art as it was created many years ago.
(Continental Breakfast, Lunch)

We supply: Air-conditioned tour vehicle (group size 4-25 passengers), Yellow Water Wetlands Cruise, all meals as stated above, complimentary light breakfast on Day 2 & 3, 2 nights accommodation in Kakadu in either quality permanent fabric cabins OR hotel, iced water throughout tour and a competent NT resident guide.
