DETAILS

FULL LENGTH TOUR DESCRIPTION
Take a private transfer with your guide to Darwin Airport where you will board your private aircraft. After an approximately 1 hour flight you will land at Cooinda Aerodrome and begin your exploration of Kakadu National Park. 

First you take a guided walk at Nourlangie Rock which is part of the area known as the Mt. Brockman Massif. Archaeologists estimate that the ancient living shelter at Nourlangie Rock has been used during the wet season as far back as 20,000 years ago. The area has a number of cave sites and there is evidence of quarries where the local Aborigines made their stone implements. Learn about fascinating Aboriginal dreamtime story’s characters such as Namarrgon “The Lighting Man” while viewing at the Anbangbang Gallery and Namarrgon Gallery. 

You will then enjoy a casual lunch before experiencing one of Kakadu’s icons - a Yellow Water Cruise.  This 10sq. km pristine environment supports a truly wonderful variety of plants, birds, crocodiles and Top End wildlife. The wildlife on this pristine billabong is too numerous to mention; you may see saltwater crocodiles, a Jacana bird walking on water, the magnificent sea eagle or any one of the other 280 species that call this billabong home.  Here you will witness at close hand the wealth of wildlife in this tranquil habitat.

Following your cruise you will fly back to Darwin and return to the ship.
