What to expect
You'll depart Darwin early and spend the majority of the day on foot and by vehicle within Kakadu. Expect moderate walking across uneven terrain with some elevation gain at Ubirr—the payoff is genuinely striking views and close proximity to rock art that Aboriginal peoples created across millennia. The crocodile viewing at Cahills Crossing involves spotting from a designated lookout rather than getting near the water. Temperatures can be intense; bring water and sun protection. The optional cruise adds another hour of river time if you want extended wildlife spotting.
