4-Day Kakadu National Park, Katherine and Litchfield National Park Camping Tour from Darwin

4 days
About this activity
Day 1: Litchfield & Mary River (L,D)
Leaving Darwin, journey south to the beautiful Litchfield National Park where you visit waterfalls that flow all year round. Explore Florence Falls, Wangi Falls and Buley Rockholes. Enjoy a picnic lunch, stroll through steamy rainforests and cool off with a dip in one of Litchfield's picture perfect swimming holes. Finish the day in the spectacular Mary River Wetlands where the exotic birds are not the only wildlife to see. Enjoy an outback Aussie pub meal before climbing into your bed for a well-earned rest at the Mary River region camping spot.
Day 2: Kakadu National Park (B,L,D)
Today head to Kakadu National Park where you will discover ancient First Peoples rock art at Ubirr. Here your guide will lead an interpretive cultural walk through the different rock art galleries before climbing to the top of a rocky lookout for fabulous views over the Nardab floodplain. Next head to Maguk (Barramundi Gorge) where a hike is rewarded with a reviving swim in the in the beautiful clear plunge pools. Tonight relax poolside and enjoy a group dinner at the Bistro at our Jabiru campground.
Day 3: Kakadu - Katherine (B,L,D)
This morning you have the option of a scenic flight over Kakadu (price from AU$150 pp) the sheer size of Kakadu means the only way to truly appreciate it is from the sky. Then spend time exploring Kakadu’s other major Aboriginal rock art site Nourlangie or Burrungi as it is known to its local traditional owners. Here your guide will give you a snapshot of how the local First Peoples have lived in an area with 20 000 years of documented occupation which is reflected in some of the rock art. After lunch head south stopping to visit the historic gold-mining centre of Pine Creek before traveling further on to Katherine and settling in for the night at the private campsite on the doorstep of Nitmuluk National Park. Fall asleep listening to the chatter of the outback night.
Day 4: Katherine Gorge - Darwin (B,L)
Depending on the season, this morning embark on a cruise along the inky waters of Katherine Gorge or take the chance to head out by canoe between red rock walls up to 70-meters high (both activities are optional at own expense). Formed by the Katherine River flowing from Arnhem Land to the Timor Sea, this 23 million-year-old natural marvel is one of the Top End’s true wonders. After lunch experience a truly authentic Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander cultural experience. This interpretive display will not only teach you about local culture of the First Peoples but will also provide hands on experiences including fire making, boomerang and spear throwing and the chance to try painting your own First Peoples artwork to take home as a unique souvenir. Hit the open road and head back to Darwin to enjoy a night on the town toasting your adventure with new friends.

Great guides/drivers - very informative and nice small group. WOuld have loved to have tea provided during the day and perhaps a little more interesting food. Would recommend.
