3 Day Kakadu / Litchfield Adventure
3 Day Kakadu / Litchfield Adventure - although 3 days is not nearly enough to completely see and enjoy all that the Northern Territory has to offer, in this tour you can at least see some of its many highlights. From crocodile cruises to natural falls, the tours contain some of the most memorable experiences you will ever come across.
From December to March is the Wet Season in the Northern Territory, a time when the northerly monsoons deluge the river systems and flood the floodplains.
Many areas in the Top End become isolated by the floods but for the adventurous the rewards are great. If its nature you love and want that great outback fun then this is the tour for you.
Fee: $570.00 per person. Including $25 park fees.
Valid Dates: DEC10 - MAR11

Day 1 - Darwin to Litchfield National Park Litchfield National Park, a great way to start the day! We’ll hike, swim and explore and find out more about the incredible magnetic termite mounds. A one hour boat cruise along the Adelaide River is next. Watch large saltwater crocodiles leap out of the water up to half their body length. Awesome! A secluded camp at Mary River is where we stay tonight. (LD)
Day 2 – Litchfield National Park Mamukala Wetlands provides a great opportunity to view the wetland bird life from an observation tower, particularly magpie geese that congregate here in their thousands. Ancient Ubirr Rock is recognised as one of the most famous Aboriginal rock art and cultural areas in the world and a climb to the top will reward you with a 360° view over floodplains and the Arnhem Land Escarpment. If Ubirr is inaccessible we’ll visit Nourlangie Rock. Learn more about the flora, fauna, culture, history and management of Kakadu National Park at the Bowali Visitor Centre then hike into Gubara Springs before we arrive at camp. (BLD)
