3 Day 4wd Kakadu Dreamtime Safari

Itinerary

Day 1 - Darwin to Kakadu

You’ll meet your guide & fellow travellers early as we depart at 7.00am to travel to famous Kakadu National Park taking in some sights along the way including a visit to the aboriginal rock art site at Ubirr with spectacular views over Kakadu. This afternoon we take the Murdudjurl Cultural Tour to learn more about local aboriginal people, Bushtucker and arts & craft. We return to camp for the evening, having dinner around the camp.

Camp: Kakadu Permanent Campsite
Meals: Lunch, Dinner

Day 2 - Kakadu

After an early breakfast, we depart on our big day out to Gunkurdul (Twin Falls) and Barrkmalam (Jim Jim Falls). These falls are in a remote area of the Park only accessible by four wheel drive vehicle, some 70 kilometres off the sealed road via a dirt track. This is an area of incredible natural beauty, and the waterfalls are rainwater fed, therefore after several months without rain (around August and September) it's possible they may not be flowing. The rock pools and surrounds are magnificent year round and well worth the journey. Gunkurdul is only accessible by water therefore we take a short boat ride through the gorge to the beach at the base of the falls. After a picnic lunch on the banks of the river, we take the hike (approximately 1 km) through the rainforest to Barrkmalam and its crystal clear waters. We return to the camp for dinner and overnight.

After breakfast this morning, we cruise the spectacular Yellow Waters, home to a wide variety of bird life and possibly the lurking Saltwater Crocodile. Next we travel to either the crystal clear rock pool and scenic beauty of Maguk (Barramundi Gorge) or to the amazing rock art site of Nourlangie; depending on the conditions. We then take the Arnhem Highway back to Darwin, arriving at approximately 6.30pm.
