What to expect
The day mixes guided driving with immersive stops. You'll travel in a comfortable air-conditioned vehicle between sites, giving legs a rest between walks. The river cruise takes around two hours—bring binoculars and a hat, as sun exposure is real on the water. You'll see crocs basking on banks, numerous bird species, and the occasional wallaby. Walks to rock art and the bird hide are gentle, though some standing is involved. The cultural centre offers context before or after field exploration. Lunch breaks the schedule midway. Surfaces are navigable for most fitness levels.
Good to know
