What you’ll do

Embark on an unforgettable 7 day journey from Darwin to Kakadu National Park, where the rugged escarpments, lush rainforests, and ancient rock art galleries await. Departing from Darwin, venture towards Jabiru, the park's gateway, and delve into its natural wonders. From the iconic Ubirr Rock to the cascading Jim Jim Falls, each day promises awe-inspiring experiences. Immerse yourself in Aboriginal culture with guided tours and visits to cultural centers, gaining insights into the land's rich heritage. But the real magic of Kakadu is something intangible that will stay with you, forever. So hit the road to the Top End and get ready to make some serious memories on this 7 day round trip journey.

The easiest way to get to Kakadu National Park is to fly into Darwin. Once you land, rent a 4WD vehicle for your road trip to Kakadu National Park! (Make sure to book your park pass in advance).

From here you have the option to head straight to Kakadu National Park (Start from Day 4), or if you have the time for the full week I recommend  experiencing Litchfield National Park and Nitmiluk National Park on this round trip.

If you plan to start/stay in Darwin, you can take your time to prepare, pick up supplies for the week and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere of Darwin. Mindil Beach, is a popular spot known for watching the sunset over the ocean. The beach hosts the famous Mindil Beach Sunset Markets during the dry season. Pee Wee's at the Point is a great spot for dinner in East Point Nature Reserve, offering authentic local cuisine. End your staying the night at Mindil Beach Resort, a beachfront resort and a tropical spa retreat. If you have extra time and looking for more of an adventure, staying at Top End Safari Camp is a must for either a day tour or a night stay.
