4 Day Kakadu Tours From Darwin

Itinerary

• 4 Day Kakadu Trip From Darwin

  Our 4 Day Kakadu Tour from Darwin 4WD Adventure is an exceptional showcase of the must-see highlights of Kakadu National Park. Spending 4 Days exploring the area in a 4WD vehicle allows us to take you to extra special secluded locations, allowing plenty of time to discover and explore without the rush! Your first two night’s accommodations are located in Jabiru with the last night just south of the park in the historic mining town of Pine Creek.

• DAY 1 – Darwin to Jabiru

  Start your adventure by departing Darwin and cruising the Wetlands of the Mary River, here we have ample opportunity to spot a huge range of Top End Birdlife and not to mention some fresh and salty apex predators… crocodiles!
  We journey on to Kakadu National Park where our home for the next two nights in Jabiru awaits, the Bowali Visitor Center offers a beautiful introduction to the Park’s landscape and wildlife and we take time to soak it in before checking into our local accommodation. After some relaxation and time to catch a glimpse of the elusive Tingo we journey north to Cahills Crossing on the border of Kakadu and Arnhem Land, here we see crocodiles lining up along the East Alligator River where they and the locals hope to catch some barramundi! We then take you to one of the best-preserved collections of Aboriginal Rock Art in the world at Ubirr, this incredibly significant site showcases many styles of Rock Art and allows us to climb up high for a sunset that will blow you away looking out over the Nadab Floodplain. We head home back to Jabiru for a delicious dinner and our comfortable indoor accommodation.

• DAY 2 – Jim Jim & Twin Falls

  Jim Jim and Twin Falls are probably two of the most famous and stunning locations within Kakadu, depending on seasonal factors and cultural observations we will visit one of these amazing waterfalls situated at the bottom of an adventurous 4WD road. But not before we partake in an exclusive cultural experience on the lands of Traditional Owners of the area. Picnic lunches packed, we then hike out to the falls and enjoy plenty of time to cool off surrounded by thick monsoon forest.
  We head back home with a stop first at the Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Center where you have time to delve into the culture of Kakadu and gain deeper insight into how the World Heritage-listed National Park is managed.

• DAY 3 – Jabiru to Pine Creek

  This morning starts bright and early as we take you to one of the best sunrise spots in the park, the Nawurlandja Lookout before cooking a delicious breakfast at Anabangbang Billabong. We then discover Burrungkuy (Nourlangie) Rock which houses fantastic Aborigional Rock Art of the Bininj which we view at the Anabangbang Gallery before heading up for incredible views of Kakadu’s Escarpment from Kunwarddewardde Lookout.
  Another 4WD track awaits us as we travel south and enjoy a picnic lunch at the plunge pool of Maguk, one of the most picturesque and pristine waterfalls in Kakadu. After our 2km walk and lunch we head towards tonight’s accommodation in Pine Creek to relax and enjoy the local hospitality.

• DAY 4 – Pine Creek to Darwin

  Our last day of this epic adventure takes us to one of two amazing waterfalls for exploration and swimming. Depending on the time of year and access conditions we will either be visiting Edith Falls or Butterfly Gorge, both offer relaxation in picture perfect Top End surroundings with clear water and a welcome chance to cool off! We then begin the journey back up towards Darwin along the Stuart Hwy, stopping at Adelaide River, a town steeped in history, we visit the heritage listed Adelaide River War Cemetery to learn of the World War II impact in this part of Australia.
  After this the vibrant Mindil Markets await as we return to Darwin just in time for you to grab some delicious local food while you watch the sunset on an action packed 4 days.
