Intrepid Travel: Top End & Kakadu Adventure

Take in the natural and man-made treasures of Kakadu, Litchfield and Nitmiluk National Parks on this Top End adventure. From your starting point in Darwin (Gulumerrdgen), depart for the wilds of Kakadu National Park, where a cruise down the Yellow Water Billabong and First Nations Ubirr rock art tour awaits. Then it’s on to Katherine, where the red expanses of the Outback meet the tropical flowing waters of the Katherine River. Finally, the magnetic wonders and natural pools of Litchfield National Park call to end your adventure with a splash.

Is this trip right for you?

• On some days of the trip, you’ll spend many hours driving through very remote areas of Australia. The days can be long, but we want to fit as much of this amazing place in as we can!
• Accommodation will be hotels for three nights and a resort with shared facilities for two nights.
• Temperatures in the Top End can be extreme. During the day, the weather can be very hot (and the Australian sun is very strong), so please bring appropriate clothing, use sun protection and drink plenty of water. In the evenings, temperatures really drop, so make sure you check the forecast and have warm clothes for the climate.
• As sunrise and sunset times as well as weather conditions vary throughout the year, the order of activities may change to ensure you have the best experience possible. On occasion, the First Nations experiences may not be available should our guides have other cultural commitments, in which case we will include alternative activities.
• Minimum age: 15 years old.
