Overview

A gentler way to see Kakadu, Katherine and Litchfield: this tour travels at a relaxed pace, suits people who don't want strenuous walks, and stays in permanent powered tents with twin-share beds (shared facilities) instead of swags. The group runs from 5 to 16 people with an expert guide in an all-terrain vehicle.

Day one leaves Darwin at 6.30am for a one-hour Corroboree Billabong cruise on the Mary River wetlands, a stretch with a very high concentration of saltwater crocodiles and lots of birdlife, then Cahills Crossing and Ubirr rock art. Day two swims at Maguk (Barramundi Gorge) and Moline Rockhole and visits Bukbukluk Lookout before heading to Nitmiluk National Park. Day three is a two-hour Katherine Gorge cruise (or a gorge walk) and a swim at Edith Falls. Day four covers Litchfield's termite mounds, Buley Rockholes, Florence Falls and Wangi Falls, which the operator describes as croc-free, back in Darwin about 4pm in time for Mindil Beach Markets.

If a Litchfield attraction is closed, the operator substitutes activities.

Common questions about this trip

  • What's the cancellation policy?
    If you cancel 30 or more days before departure, the operator keeps the deposit. From 8 to 29 days before departure the operator keeps 50% of the booking, and 7 days or less it keeps 100%. Changes or transfers to another person need at least 28 days notice and a fee of up to $200 per person may apply, and no changes are allowed within 7 days of departure. If the operator cancels (other than for force majeure) you get a full refund, and for force majeure you get a credit or a refund less unrecoverable costs. Wanderlust handles the refund for you, refunds mirror the operator's terms 1:1 (including if the operator cancels) and we chase it on your behalf.
