A journey from Darwin into the heart of the tropics on our one day Kakadu tour from Darwin.
Short on time? If you only have a short time to visit the Top End our one day Kakadu tour from Darwin is a perfect adventure. Explore the National Park up close and personal for the day.
Kakadu National Park is a global treasure and dual World Heritage-listed. Famed for both its environmental and cultural values, at 20,000 square kilometers Kakadu National Park is teeming with wildlife, ancient Aboriginal rock art sites, and diverse landscapes.
Operating in the dry season from May to October our 1 day Kakadu Tour takes you from Darwin into the National Park, about a 3 hour drive. This is a long day but well worth it! Once in Kakadu National Park you will visit Bowali Visitor Centre and Murrawuddi Gallery to learn about the history and culture of the region.
Then onto the most famous Ubirr rock. Here you will see some of the world’s most outstanding rock art. Rock art is extremely important to the Aboriginal owners of Kakadu. This area is one of the reasons Kakadu has Dual Heritage-listed status. As you look out over the floodplains and escarpments you will marvel at the stunning views.
Our one-day Kakadu adventure from Darwin offers a great value for money Top End experience to see wildlife, waterfalls, wetlands, and Aboriginal art and culture.

The natural behaviours of wildlife are to be respected and not interfered with. When viewing wildlife, people should take care to avoid rapid or sudden movements, which could frighten the animal, and should keep noise to a minimum and refrain from touching, petting or feeding all wildlife including birds. Contact with people can introduce diseases to wildlife and can cause them to become aggressive.
Wildlife should not be handled or fed, unless by certified wildlife handlers. Feeding wildlife can alter their natural foraging behaviour and can lead to disease or illness through contact with people and the introduction of foods that are harmful to their digestive system. Feeding wildlife can also cause them to become aggressive toward people.
Wildlife that appears to be in distress, injured or in danger should be reported immediately to the appropriate authority, such as your Guide/Tour Leader, a National Park Ranger or Visitor Centre Staff.
