An early start as we leave Darwin at 6.30am. We head East along the Arnhem Highway and quickly see the expansive floodplains. After crossing the Adelaide River, we head to another water system the Mary River and Corroborree Billabong which has the highest concentration of saltwater crocodiles in the world. Your guide on the hour-long cruise we spot all the ‘salties’ in their natural habitat, but also point out and discuss the immense array of birdlife in the region. Join a wildlife tour on the Mary River wetlands, see crocodiles and prolific birdlife in their natural environment.

Shortly afterwards we’ll arrive at Kakadu National Park. We’ll head towards the fringes of East Alligator River to Cahill’s Crossing for a filling lunch, before moving onto Ubirr with some of the best examples of Northern Australian rock art. We’ll also clamber up along the path to the top which has amazing views in all directions, overlooking the Nardab Floodplains, the East Alligator River and across to the escarpment country to Arnhem Land.

We’ll overnight in our exclusive camp in Kakadu’s ‘capital city; Jabiru.

We have it all in front of us today! After some breakfast at camp, we pack up and head South through Kakadu National Park to Maguk (Barramundi Gorge). You’ll need your walking boots as you trek about 1 km along the (mostly) dry river through a paperbark forest to the gorge and waterhole. The water is super deep but refreshing. Chill out in the clear water, while taking in the surrounding pandanis and rustic cliff walls that have remained unchanged for thousands of years. It’s a special place!

We head back to our 4WD and on to our next stop which includes short walk through the woodlands to Bukbukluk Lookout. We’ve earned another refreshing break this afternoon, so our next visit is to Ikoymarrwa (Moline Rockhole). This is a special permit area at a smaller but equally impressive waterhole. We depart Kakadu National Park, and head towards Nitmiluk National Park, home of the majestic Katherine River. This evening, we enjoy the sunset views over the Katherine River, before settling in at our camp.
