Day 1 - Darwin to Mary River
See the waterfalls falls of Litchfield National Park . Then travel west into Woolna Country where you receive a Cul Cul or unique ‘Welcome to Country’ by the traditional owners of the land, the Limilngan–Wulna people. This is followed by lessons in bush tucker, didgeridoo playing, basket weaving and spear throwing. To finish the day head to the spectacular Corroboree Billabong on Mary River Wetlands. Birds aren’t the only wildlife abundant around here; keep a watch for lurking crocodiles on your private river cruise!
Stay overnight at a secluded campsite at Point Stuart Wilderness Lodge (LD)
Day 2 - Mary River to Kakadu
Discover ancient Aboriginal rock art at Ubirr, your first stop this morning. Clamber to the top of a rocky lookout for fabulous views over the Nardab floodplain. Then travel on to Maguk (Barramundi Gorge), where a hike is rewarded with a reviving swim in the plunge pools.
Overnight at permanent camp within Kakadu National Park (BLD)
Day 3 - Kakadu National Park
Get ready for some 4WD action today on your way to Jim Jim Falls! Once you get there, hike to the base of the falls before continuing on to Twin Falls. Feel the beauty of the stunning gorge and powerful falls from the National Park operated boat and boardwalk experience.
Get to your campsite at Gunlom just in time to see the vibrant colours of the tropical sunset take over the evening sky (BLD)
Day 4 - Kakadu to Katherine Gorge
Climb to the top of Gunlom Falls this morning and you will be rewarded with stunning views from the top! Cool down with a refreshing dip at Edith Falls. T		 Jim Jim Falls © Tourism Northern Territory Twin Falls © Tourism Northern Territory
