3 Day Kakadu Tour with Twin & Jim Jim Falls

Day 1 (L,D)

You will be collected from your accommodation at 7.30 am for your 3 day Kakadu 4WD 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.

A picnic lunch will be served on the banks of the East Alligator River.

After lunch, we head to the Bowali visitors information centre.

Then we make our way to Cooinda to join the Yellow Waters sunset cruise, where you will see an abundance of flora and fauna, while keeping and eye out for saltwater crocodiles.

Overnight camp - Mardugal.

Day 2 (B,L,D)

After breakfast, we make our way along the Jim Jim road to Jim Jim and Twin Falls. The spectacular Jim Jim and Twin Falls are accessed via four-wheel drive down a sandy track. A moderately difficult hike along Jim Jim Gorge leads to a large pool at the base of Jim Jim Falls.

At nearby Twin Falls, take a boat cruise to the base of the Falls for some of the most stunning scenery in Kakadu.

Overnight camp - Mardugal.

Day 3 (B,L)

After breakfast, we head to Nourlangie Rock, an ancient Aboriginal living shelter, where we will explore the area and the rock art.

Then we visit Anbangbang billabong and Nawalandja for a short hike, rewarded by a magnificent view over the Arnhemland escarpment.

Onto Maguk (Barramundi Gorge) for lunch. Take a walk through the paperbarks to reach the gorge and have a refreshing swim in the plungepool.

After Maguk, we make our way back to Darwin, via the old Darwin (unsealed). We’ll cross the South Alligator River, stopping to look at Black Jungle Springs (wetlands).
