Small group transport with air conditioning and flexible routing to suit conditions.

What to expect

You'll be collected from a Darwin inner-city location and driven north in a small air-conditioned coach. The day alternates between guided walks of varying difficulty—some steep descents to waterfalls—and stationary viewpoints over the park's sandstone country. Swimming opportunities depend on water levels and seasonal closures; your guide adapts the itinerary accordingly. Lunch isn't provided, but you'll stop near local food vendors. The optional crocodile cruise replaces some walking and offers close-water encounters with saltwater crocs from a safe vessel. Bring sun protection and sturdy footwear.
