2 Day Kakadu Tour

Heading south along the Stuart highway, our first stop is Fog Dam Nature Reserve. Built in the 1950’s to provide irrigation for a rice project, the wetlands now have international significance because of their beauty, natural systems and their importance to the local Limilngan - Wulna aboriginal people. A great variety of fauna can be found here throughout the year.

We continue our journey along the Arnhem highway and then, after a comfort stop at the Bark Hut, we make our way into heritage listed Kakadu National park. Kakadu is the largest national park in Australia , has some of the world’s finest rock art and a variety of habitats, including floodplains and savannah woodlands.

Once within the park, we visit Ubirr Rock where we walk through galleries of ancient aboriginal rock art, which your guide will interpret. Also learn about bush tuckers and medicines before reaching the top of the plateau, where you can relax and enjoy the view over the floodplains.
