About this activity
Day 1: Florence Falls, Wangi Falls, Outback Tracks and 4-Wheel Driving (L, D)
Departing from select Darwin accommodation before the short journey to Litchfield National Park. Explore the waterfalls, spring-fed streams, and rugged sandstone escarpments of Litchfield National Park and enjoy a picnic lunch. After lunch, head into Kakadu National Park (entrance fee not included), where you will arrive at the private campsite complete with comfortable permanent tents at Cooinda. Spend the night here, enjoying dinner and some stargazing.
Day 2: Yellow Water Billabong, Nourlangie Rock Art Site, Bowali Visitors Centre and Ubirr (B, L, D)
Awake for breakfast this morning before joining an iconic Yellow Waters Cruise. Spotting crocodiles is only one of the many wildlife viewing opportunities on this unique water system. Departing camp, travel to nearby Nourlangie Rock. Here you can see how local Aboriginal people lived in this area through changing times. After lunch, visit the Bowali Visitor Centre, which showcases Aboriginal art by artists from within Kakadu and the wider region. Later in the afternoon, arrive at the culturally significant Aboriginal art site of Ubirr. Here you will view a wide range of ancient Aboriginal art, which will be interpreted by your guide, and experience a sunset like no other. Make the short journey to a permanent campsite for the night.
Day 3: Jim Jim and Twin Falls (B,L,D)
Departing early, travel to Twin and Jim Jim Falls*. Explore Twin Falls Gorge, which is accessed by 4-wheel drive track, a boat shuttle service, and a rocky walking track and boardwalk (boat shuttle fee not included). There’s more 4-wheel driving as you make your way to Jim Jim Falls, where a walk through monsoon forest and over boulders takes you to the waterfall and plunge pool surrounded by 490-foot (150-meter) cliffs. Spend the afternoon taking in the sheer beauty of the spectacular surrounds before heading back to camp for the last night in the wilderness.
*Twin and Jim Jim Falls cannot be guaranteed and are subject to close at the advice of Parks Authorities.
