Kakadu
is the Top End’s most biodiverse National Park, considered a world-class
destination and the largest of its kind in Australia. It spans across 20,000
square Kilometres (That's half the size of Switzerland) and boasts
millions of years of geological history with 6 different major landforms.
It is home to some 2000 plant species, over 470 wildlife species and 10,000
saltwater crocs. Not only that the local aboriginal people have occupied
the land for 65,000 years. It is no wonder that it was first listed as a
dual UNESCO world heritage site for both cultural and natural significance in
1981. 



Kakadu National Park is located
approximately 180km southeast of Darwin or 150km northeast from Katherine (as
the crow fly’s). By road you may only see a small percentage of this
enormous park so if your time is limited in Darwin or you would prefer to ‘skip
the drive’ the best way to see Kakadu in all its glory is from a Helicopter AND
better yet everyone gets a window seat!



We want to make sure you have a
magical “Kakadu” Experience, so we are giving you the choice to tailor your day
your way. Lunch is included but choose whether you’d like to enjoy a delicious
meal at Cooinda Lodge or the famous Bark Hut. If you feel like making a day of
it, there is an option to add a one-and-a-half-hour cruise on Kakadu’s most
famous wetland, Yellow Water Billabong.

If you ask the local
aboriginals there are 6 different seasons in Kakadu so you can imagine the face
of Kakadu will change throughout the year. If you’re looking for raging
waterfalls, loads of water & green as far as the eye can see your best
chance is between December and April (wet season). If you’re looking for clear
blue skies and a higher chance of spotting a croc April to November (dry
season) is the time for you. Refer to the “flight map” for wet season (ORANGE) and
dry season (GREEN) routes.
