Kakadu National Park Day Tour and Cruise from Darwin
Start your day tour around Australia’s largest National Park by being picked up from your hotel in Darwin and depart for the Arnhem Highway across the Adelaide River and Marrakai Plains. Upon arriving at the park, you will enjoy a delicious buffet lunch followed by a cruise down the famous Yellow Water - the perfect place to search for the saltwater crocodiles and colorful birdlife this region is famous for! Next, you will visit the Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre to view the informative displays depicting the traditions of Kakadu Aboriginal culture.
Your final stop of the tour will be the Nourlangie Rock Art Site, a place that used to serve as a shelter for indigenous people thousands of years ago. While taking shelter, the rock has evolved into a canvas that illustrates the spiritual culture of these people. Follow your guide on a 1.5km walk around the base of the rock and get to see the different form of rock art paintings.
