Then you’ll travel into Kakadu National Park. Covering more than 20,000 square kilometres, World Heritage listed Kakadu. The combination of mangrove fringed coastal areas, expansive flood plains, lowland hills, and open woodland and forest habitats, make Kakadu one of the most diverse landscapes you’ll ever experience. It’s home to a myriad of animals, hundreds of bird species and thousands of different insects and plants. Enjoy lunch in Kakadu National Park before a stop at the Marrawuddi Art Gallery.

Continue to Ubirr, where you’ll climb up through the ancient Aboriginal rock art galleries, believed to be 20,000 years old, to the lookout for a spectacular view over the surrounding wetlands. (L) Stay: Mercure Kakadu Crocodile Hotel

This morning there is the opportunity for an optional scenic flight (own expense). You’ll be mesmerized as you wander around the Burrungkuy (Nourlangie) Rock art site. It has provided shelter to the indigenous people for many thousands of years, and while taking shelter, the rock evolved into a canvas that illustrates the traditional owner's very deep spiritual culture.

With your Driver Guide, you’ll have the opportunity to see many different forms of Aboriginal rock art paintings. The Bininj people are the traditional custodians of Kakadu and now you’ll visit the Warradjan Cultural Centre where you will be introduced to their way of life.

Later, join your local guide for a cruise on Yellow Water Billabong, Kakadu’s most famous wetland. The picturesque yellow waters are home to thousands of saltwater crocodiles and up to 60 species of colourful birdlife. This afternoon we travel to Katherine, the third largest town in the Northern Territory. (FB/L) Stay: Contour Hotel Katherine

Get on the water early to enjoy a unique Breakfast cruise on Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge.

The cruise along Nitmiluk (Katherine) Gorge with the opportunity to spot freshwater crocodiles, wonderful birdlife and some of the most amazing scenery the Northern Territory has to offer.
