Highlights of the Tour
- Kakadu National Park
Your full-day tour focuses on the Indigenous culture that has flourished in Kakadu for tens of thousands of years. During the dry season, you’ll visit Ubirr, where you’ll marvel at ancient Aboriginal rock art and take in the panoramic views over the Nadab floodplain from the top of Ubirr Rock. In the wet season, the tour takes you to Nourlangie Rock, where you’ll explore rock galleries that tell the stories of Kakadu’s rich cultural history. - Guluyambi Cultural Cruise
A highlight of the dry season tour is the Guluyambi Cultural Cruise along the East Alligator River. Led by Indigenous Traditional Owners, this 1-hour 45-minute cruise offers a rare opportunity to learn about local customs, lore, and the deep connection the Indigenous people have with this land. As you glide through the river, your guide will point out wildlife and teach you about the area’s sacred sites and cultural significance. - Yellow Water Billabong Cruise (Wet Season)
