Let us take away the stress and hassle of trying to organize your own trip, and join us on a fun and enriching day out to the world-heritage-listed Kaakdu National Park. With an early start, we make a stop at a local roadhouse so you can grab a refreshment and a coffee. We stop at the wetlands to observe the native wildlife foraging and bathing in their natural habitat before we arrive at the unmissable site - Ubirr rock. A chance to dig deep into the culture of Kakadu learn about the local rock art and take in the spectacular views on offer here. After filling our bellies with lunch, we'll move on to a highlight of the tour, the cultural cruise on the East Alligator River which separates Kakadu from Arnhem Land. Learn about local practices and witness traditional spear-throwing. We'll visit the local information centre before making tracks back to Darwin but not before a stop at a unique historic site showing rice engravings in the local rock.

With large numbers of magpie geese, kites, comb-crested jacanas, cormorants, willie wagtails, purple swamp hens, finches, and kingfishers that congregate in this magnificent billabong this makes for one of the best birdwatching areas in Kakadu.
