Day 1
We depart your Darwin accommodation around 0700 hours. We travel east along the Arnhem Highway across the Adelaide & Mary River systems towards Kakadu. A brief stop at the Bark Hut Inn before continuing across the South Alligator River floodplains and travel on to one of Kakadu's famous rock art sites at Burrungui (Nourlangie Rock), where you will see ochre rock paintings, spanning a period of continuous occupation of this area for over 20,000 years. Your guide will explain the stories and mythology relating to the art. After lunch we continue on to the Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre, an impressive building built in the shape of the local Pig Nosed turtle. Here you will learn more about the traditional Aboriginal owners of the park, their culture, beliefs and lifestyles. From here we continue our journey to this evening's accommodation at the Gagudju Lodge Cooinda.

Day 2
This morning we embark on a guided cruise of the world famous Yellow Water wetlands with the opportunity to see some of the myriad bird life and perhaps the awesome saltwater crocodile. Brolgas, Jabiru, Whistling Ducks, Radjah Shellduck & Magpie Geese together with many species of Kingfisher and Heron abound in these wetlands. After the cruise we travel south along through the South Alligator Valley to spend time in the southern, less visited section of Kakadu known as the stone country. A visit to this area will surely be a highlight. Gunlom was made famous in the movie "Crocodile Dundee" as Echo Pool. Here we have the opportunity to have a refreshing swim and explore the beautiful plunge pool. Leaving Kakadu we continue westward to the historic mining settlement of Pine Creek, site of a major gold rush a century ago and still a gold mining town today. After a brief look around the town, we continue North to our overnight accommodation at the Lake Bennett Wilderness Resort.

Day 3
This morning our journey takes us to Litchfield National Park via the township of Batchelor. We visit the beautiful Wangi Falls and Tolmer Falls lookout two of the many waterfalls cascading from the Tabletop Ranges. Perhaps a swim in the plunge pool at the base of Wangi, or a walk to explore the surrounding monsoon rainforest. After lunch we travel on to Florence Falls, perhaps the prettiest of them all. There is also the opportunity to view the unique magnetic termite mounds before we leave the National Park and continue on to Darwin. We arrive back in to Darwin, around 17:00.

Note: In the monsoon months of December – March some of the areas can be inaccessible due to flooding. In these instances substitute areas will be visited.
