The Kakadu National Park is one of Australia's crown jewels — a country-sized national park covering nearly 20,000 square kilometres, including six different landforms and a remarkable range of wildlife. Kakadu is also a part of Arnhem Land, the Northern Territory's sprawling Aboriginal lands, and plays host to stunning rock art and other signs of the ancient, long-surviving Aboriginal culture.
Going Deeper than Kakadu
Kakadu is gorgeous and provides terrific opportunities to experience some of the Aboriginal culture — but it also sees around 200,000 visitors per year. This high saturation of visitors can rob the territory of some of its serene, remote beauty.
If you want to experience Aboriginal culture, but want to go deeper and more secluded than Kakadu makes possible, Top End Day Tours can help. We are one of just two tour operators in the country permitted to run day tours in Arnhem Land. Our tour takes you deeper into the Aboriginal lands and gives you a chance to see landscapes and rock art sites far less inundated with tourists — and best of all, our tours depart from Kakadu.
Kakadu's main township of Jabiru is located just 45 minutes from the area of Arnhem Land where our day tours are concentrated. Our tours collect travellers at any Jabiru accommodation and depart daily at 8:30 am, Monday through Saturday throughout Australia's dry season — first tour 1 May, last tour 31 October.
Our Kakadu day tours showcase the rock art at Injalak Hill — one of the best spots for Aboriginal rock art on the continent — along with views of floodplains and escarpments, and a visit to the Injalak Arts and Craft Centre. Get in touch today to book your spot.
