9 immersive Kakadu tours you must experience

Elizabeth Whitehead

Writer & Producer

09 February 2024

Kakadu is not only steeped in natural beauty – it also holds 65,000 years of Indigenous history.

Choosing which tours to do in Kakadu National Park can be bamboozling, so we’ve taken the hard work out with this list of the best tours in Kakadu.

The Traditional Owners are the Bininj in the north of Kakadu and the Mungguy in the south. The landscape heaves with life, both cultural and natural, and contains a multitude of spiritual sites.

There are plenty of tours in Kakadu that offer incredible insights into the land and local culture. Where possible, it’s a great idea to seek out  Indigenous-owned businesses  and tour guides, as Aboriginal people hold the knowledge, stories and culture of the region and have done so for many millennia.

It’s worth noting that to enter Kakadu, you’ll need to purchase a Parks Pass , which can be organised online, or bought at one of the locations listed on Parks Australia’s website. Once you’ve got that sorted, here are the best tours in Kakadu to explore.

1. Yellow Water Cruises

Best for: Families and wildlife lovers

The  Yellow Water Cruise  is one of the most iconic tours in Kakadu and operates year-round out of Cooinda Lodge (one of  Kakadu’s most popular accommodation offerings ). The landscape is ever-changing depending on the season, so no two cruises will be the same.

Take the Yellow Water Cruise at sunset.

The wetlands are truly spectacular, and you’ll spot birdlife in abundance. Kakadu is home to around one-third of Australia’s bird species, and on the Yellow Water Billabong is a great place to witness jabiru, sea eagles, magpie geese and egrets. Take the tour at dawn or dusk when the wildlife is more active.

Price: Starting from $105 per person for a 1.5-hour cruise

2. Guluyambi Cultural Cruise

Best for: Travellers seeking a cultural experience

From a small dock not far from Ubirr, you will venture to the  Arnhem Land  side of the East Alligator River on a  small covered boat cruise.  This is an intimate tour where an Aboriginal guide will share local culture, stories and mythology.

This Aboriginal reserve is otherwise inaccessible to tourists unless you have a permit. However, as guests of the Traditional Owners on this tour, you can venture where most cannot. Expect to see some impressively large crocodiles, sandy beaches, ancient rock art and a spear-throwing demonstration.

Price: $84 for a one-hour and 45-minute cruise

3. Rock art tours

Best for: Families and travellers curious about Indigenous history and spirituality.

Kakadu holds thousands of  rock art sites , which are some of the oldest records of any group of people in the world. The two most famous rock art sites in Kakadu are Ubirr and Burrungkuy (Nourlangie). Here, you’ll find enigmatic depictions of animals, spirits and Indigenous Creation Ancestors.

Find mystic creatures illustrated on the Burrungkuy Rock Art.

If you’re interested in learning about local Indigenous culture, a taking tour of Kakadu’s rock art is one of the best things to do in the national park.

The local Bininj guides of  Yibekka Rock Art Tours  lead tours to Burrungkuy, sharing the incredible stories behind the rock art as well as the Dreaming stories held within the landscape.

For groups looking to enrich their experience in Kakadu, take a cultural tour of Ubirr and/or Burrungkuy with  Ayal Aboriginal Tours , where your knowledgeable guide will interpret the landscape and images you’re witnessing.

Tour Kakadu bushlands with Ayal Aboriginal Tours’ local guide Victor Cooper.

Price: For Yibekka Tours, enquire about pricing on their website. For Ayal Aboriginal Tours, a private guide for 90 minutes starts at $550 for groups of up to 15 people.

4. Ranger-guided walks, talks and workshops

Best for: Families and travellers curious about Indigenous history and spirituality

One of the best things about Kakadu is that its most popular walking trails are staffed by park rangers who, during the dry season, give guided tours for free. The tours are part of Kakadu’s interpretive program, which includes guided walks, slideshows in certain campgrounds, art site talks and cultural demonstrations like pandanus weaving and Indigenous painting techniques.

The program schedule changes each dry season, so stay up to date with The Parks’  schedule of ranger-guided activities . Attending is free, although you do need to book online in advance.

See spectacular views of Kakadu from the Nawurlandja Lookout.

Price: Free

5. Wildlife safari

Best for: Immersing in Aboriginal culture

Animal Tracks  is a seven-hour wildlife safari and fascinating Aboriginal cultural tour in a 4WD bus that runs in the dry season.

You’ll hunt and forage ingredients for your dinner, then cook them to eat while watching the sunset over a billabong alive with bird life. Animal Tracks has exclusive access to some areas of wetlands and woodlands, with a maximum of 18 guests and led by an expert Aboriginal guide.

Price: From $220

6. Scenic flights

Best for: Travellers with an adventurous streak

A helicopter flight in Kakadu is an unforgettable experience. Get a new perspective of the floodplains and escarpments from the air, especially in the wet season. Feel like you’re in an action movie as you soar over savanna woodlands in a doorless helicopter, whizzing past magnificent waterfalls and darting through canyons.

Hop on a scenic flight over Twin Falls, Kakadu National Park. (Image: Tourism NT)

Kakadu Air Services  offer scenic flight options that last between 20 minutes and an hour. If you’re short on time, Kakadu Air Services also offer a Darwin to Kakadu day trip via helicopter that takes in a few of the key attractions, as well as unparalleled vistas of the landscape. The tour returns to Darwin at 4pm on the same day.

Be mesmerised by the jagged rock formations up above.

The Scenic Flight Company is another local operator with 14 years of experience in aviation tourism. Visitors can truly kick back and take in the landscape with a one-hour and 45-minute scenic helicopter tour.

Kakadu has the most magnificent waterfalls.

Price: From $150 for a half-hour fixed-wing flight with Kakadu Air Services.  Enquire here  for pricing for The Scenic Flight Company.

7. 4WD tours

Best for: Travellers looking to get off the beaten path (literally).

A four-wheel-drive tour of Kakadu allows visitors to get right into the heart of the National Park, and access areas way off the beaten track.

For a full day of activity, hop in a 4WD with the Indigenous-owned Spirit of Kakadu Adventure Tour  that departs from Cooinda Lodge. In the dry season, you’ll head for Jim Jim and Twin Falls, which plunge off the escarpment, making them two of the most spectacular sights in Kakadu.

Hover above the spectacular waterfalls in Kakadu.

If you’re looking for unique cultural insights, the Traditional Owners that run  Kakadu Cultural Tours  have access to exclusive sites in Northern Kakadu and Arnhem Land. Arnhemlander is an exceptional day tour into Western Arnhem Land.

Or perhaps you’d like to a few days with Sab Lord – a legend in the Northern Territory known as a classic outback character. Sab’s Lords Safaris take day and multi-day tours into Kakadu. His family owned and operated the last pastoral land that later became part of Kakadu National Park and Sab has maintained his connection to the land.

Price: The Spirit of Kakadu starts from $380 and The Arnhemlander starts from $289.  Enquire here  for Lord’s Safari’s multi-day tour pricing.

8. Fishing trips

Best for: Fishing fanatics

The wet season displaces millions of litres of water, making Kakadu a  fishing hotspot . After the wet season, barramundi (alongside other fish) collect in certain areas, including Yellow Water, South and East Alligator River, Sandy Billabong, and Two- and Four-Mile Holes.

Fishing in Kakadu requires a licence, but if you don’t have one (or don’t want the hassle of hiring your boat and 4WD), you can join a local fishing tour. Some operators like  Kakadu Fishing Tours  run day tours from Darwin to Kakadu.

Otherwise, there are a few options if you’d like to add some fishing to your itinerary while in the park. Kakadu Fishing Tours also runs a charter service that can go anywhere you like.

Cooinda Lodge offers  Yellow Water Fishing Tours  on the beautiful Yellow Water Billabong.  Bamurru Lodge , a luxury property nearby Kakadu, turns exclusively into a dedicated barramundi fishing lodge during the run-off.

Price: Yellow Water Fishing Tours are from $250 per person including all fishing gear and cold drinks. Half-day fishing tours are from $250 per person with Kakadu Fishing Tours.

9. Day trips from Darwin

Best for: Travellers short on time, travellers without a car, or travellers who want to kick back and let someone else take care of the planning.

Take away the stress of organising your visit to Kakadu with either a day trip or a multi-day tour from Darwin. We recommend more than one day to truly take in all the region has to offer, but if time is a luxury you don’t have, then there are a few options.

A scenic  flight tour of Kakadu from Darwin  will save you the most time, stopping off at a few key attractions before returning to Darwin in the afternoon.

Or, set out bright and early for a day tour of Kakadu from Darwin via coach with  AAT Kings . If you’ve got a bit more time on your hands, then  Intrepid Tours  offers a four-day Darwin to Kakadu tour that takes in the very best the Top End has to offer.

There’s just more to discover in the Top End.

Price: Day tours via air start at $849 with Kakadu Air Services. A day tour via coach starts at $365 with AAT Kings. A four-day trip is from $1484 with Intrepid.

Kakadu Tours

Best Kakadu Tours & Day Trips

Kakadu National Park is big. Like really big. Australia’s largest national park, Kakadu is bigger than many countries, covering nearly 20 000 square kilometres. And there is plenty to discover in this outback wilderness south of Darwin. Lands of the Bininj/Mungguy peoples, Kakadu is home to spectacular waterfalls, refreshing swimming holes and towering rocky gorges. Not to mention the ancient rock art depicting life here thousands of years ago. An adventure into Kakadu is an opportunity to explore some of Australia’s most impressive natural scenery while connecting with the incredible living Aboriginal culture .

Kakadu Day Tours & Trips

For travellers short on time, our one day Kakadu tours from Darwin will whisk you around the highlights of this amazing national park. You’ll enjoy the chance to spot the local wildlife, including the fearsome crocs the area is famous for. Be amazed by ancient rock art in situ then learn more about the local Indigenous cultures and their continued link to the land at the cultural centre. Throughout the journey, you will be in awe of the wild scenery that surrounds you. Budget conscious travellers will enjoy our 1 Day Kakadu Tour from Darwin or join our Kakadu Deluxe tour to include a buffet lunch and cruise on the Yellow Water Billabong.

For a more comprehensive experience, our popular multi-day Kakadu tours give you more time to explore the wonders of Kakadu National Park. Tours depart from Darwin and go deep into the spectacular Top End. Ranging from two to five-day adventures, the tours will have you discovering cascading waterfalls, serene plunge pools, and unforgettable scenery with our friendly local guides. Learn about the fascinating culture of the local Aboriginal people as you visit ancient rock art sites and view the strange formations of the giant termite mounds. Camping under the stars at night offers the opportunity to view the unforgettable night sky and sleep in the tranquil surroundings, waking to the sounds of nature ready for another day of adventure.

Our favourite Kakadu multi-day tour has to be the 5 Day Kakadu Tour with Koolpin Gorge . Our most comprehensive trip, this tour takes you to some of the most remote areas of the park. You’ll discover the natural highlights of this area including Gunlom Falls , Jim Jim Falls and Maguk (Barramundi Gorge) plus exclusive permit only areas Koolpin Gorge and Moley Rockholes. This tour has very limited departures from June – August so book early to avoid missing out on this amazing experience!

Kakadu Wet Season Tours (November to April)

From November until April, we alter our Kakadu tour itineraries to make the most of the tropical rainy season. As the influx of rain brings new life to the parched land, smaller waterfalls flow again and trickling creeks become raging torrents. While some spots become inaccessible, other locations spring to life, offering us new places to discover.

I’m over 49 years old. Can I still join the tour?

Our Kakadu tours are suitable for travellers of all ages. Many of our multi-day Kakadu tours are recommended for travellers aged 12 – 49 years. This is due to the remote nature of the locations we visit, the activities and the accommodation style on the tour. But if you have a reasonable level of fitness and swag camping sounds like fun, you are welcome to join the tour. Please let us know your age and any medical conditions when you book.

Why are your itineraries subject to change?

The Top End is a wild place. Many locations are only accessible during the dry season (May – October) and roads can be washed away by heavy rain. Locations may also be closed without notice for cultural reasons. Your guide will take many variables into account when planning your itinerary and it might not be exactly as described on the tour page. But rest assured, your guide will ensure you have the best possible experience on your Kakadu trip. So, relax and enjoy the ride!

Should I bring my own camping gear?

We’ll provide everything you need for camping except a sleeping bag. You can bring your own sleeping bag or hire one for the tour. Please let us know at least 48 hours before your travel if you want to add sleeping bag hire to your tour. You may also want to bring your own pillow. We’ll send you a confirmation email once you complete your booking with everything you need to bring on tour.

Will we get to shower on tour?

On our Kakadu camping tours, we stay at some remote campgrounds amongst amazing scenery. That means the facilities can be pretty basic. But don’t worry, all campgrounds have shower and toilet facilities.

Can we charge our phones on tour? Will we get reception?

For multi-day tours, shared charging facilities are available on our tour buses for you to charge your phone and other devices. Charging facilities are not usually available on day tours. Phone reception will depend on your provider and is patchy at best once we leave Darwin. We suggest you plan to be without reception for your whole trip. Tip: keeping your phone on aeroplane mode will preserve the battery but still allow you to take photos.

How many days do you need in Kakadu?

We recommend spending 3 days in Kakadu. This will be enough to really explore Kakadu National Park. Hike and swim in the waterfalls. Drive on the 4WD tracks to some of the best billabongs and wetlands. Take a cruise on the Yellow River. Really immerse yourself in the nature of the region.

However, if you have more time, we recommend spending 5 or more days in Kakadu. This will allow you to truly discover all that the park has to offer and give you the chance to see some of the more remote and less visited areas.

Additionally, we recommend considering the time of year you plan to visit. During the wet season, some areas of the park may be inaccessible and certain activities may be limited. However, the wet season also offers unique experiences such as monsoon rainforests and spectacular waterfalls. On the other hand, the dry season offers the best conditions for hiking and swimming in the park.

In terms of what you will see, during your 3 days in Kakadu, you will have the opportunity to explore the park’s diverse landscapes, from rugged escarpments and monsoon forests to wetlands and floodplains. You will be able to see a wide variety of wildlife and birdlife, such as crocodiles, wallabies, and a variety of bird species. You will also have the opportunity to see some of the park’s ancient rock art sites, which are a highlight of the park.

In summary, the duration of your stay in Kakadu National Park depends on your personal preference, your available time and the time of year you plan to visit. We recommend spending 3 days in the park, as this will give you enough time to see the highlights and immerse yourself in the nature of the region. However, if you have more time, you will be able to discover more of the park’s hidden gems and have a more complete experience.

Our recommended itineraries will help you create the perfect ‘Kakadu Experience’.

Closer to Indonesia than to any Aussie capital, Darwin is a unique Australian city. With its laidback tropical vibe, Darwin happily embraces its position close to Asia, offering visitors multicultural food, vibrant markets, lush gardens and waterfront restaurants. Yet most people visit Darwin to explore what lies beyond the city limits. Journey outside the city and you quickly realise that Darwin is surrounded by rugged landscapes, natural beauty and an indigenous history and culture that are quintessentially Australian.

We were very pleased to have been a part of such a memorable experience in Kakadu and Litchfield National Parks.

Kakadu and Tiwi Island Explorer (Short Break, 3 Days)

We actually did 3 day tours with A AT kings. Kakadu, Litchfield and Katherine Gorge. Two were very big days. The guides/drivers never missed a beat. Very knowledgeable and polite, always thinking about their passengers. We originally only booked two before leaving Brisbane but decided to book the third on our last day and were so glad we did. My daughter worked for Flight Centre and said she always booked clientsxwirh AATKings and I can see why. Well done for providing such a great experience.

• River Cruise

4 Day Kakadu Katherine Gorge Experience (Accommodated)

We made the Tour as a family of four (2 girls 8&10). The Tour offers a very good Mix of beautiful Landscapes, best swimming spots, hiking and culture. Matea our guide was excellent and did everything on his own, normally there should be 2 guides managing the Tour. Nevertheless Matea and the other participants made the Tour to something very special. Although the hiking to the swimming spots was sometimes challenging for the Kids (YouTube should be fit)

• Mountain Hikes
• Desert Hikes
• Hiking & Trekking

Kakadu's Ancient Secrets (5 Days)

The tour exceeded our expectations on all fronts except for the accommodation at Wildman Wilderness Lodge which was full of bugs and stifling hot at night. Most of the meals were excellent but a few lunches had mediocre sandwiches.

What people love about kakadu national park tours for seniors.

Beautiful scenery, fascinating aborigeneous culture and traditions, amazing group of people. We really got on very well. Food could have been better for the price we paid. Excellent guide. Jay was terrific. We all appreciated her kindness and enthusiasm. Coming back to Darwin at the end of the fourth day was unnecessary. It added a lot of mileage for nothing. Plus a hotel room in Darwin that was probably not cheap.
