About this tour
A privately guided day tour through Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory lasting 12 to 16 hours, built around your interests rather than a fixed itinerary.

Visit signature spots like Fogg Dam to spot birdlife, take a billabong or river cruise to see crocodiles, and explore rock art sites at your own pace. Includes all transport, meals, park entry, and water.

What to expect
You'll be collected in the morning and spend the day moving between Kakadu's signature locations in a small vehicle. Morning might bring a billabong cruise where saltwater crocodiles basking on banks are genuinely close. Mid-morning, explore rock art galleries where your guide contextualises the ochre figures and their cultural meaning. Lunch is provided. Afternoon typically takes you to Fogg Dam's boardwalks where jabirus, magpie geese, and black swans congregate, especially during the dry season. The pace is unhurried—your guide adjusts stops based on wildlife activity and what interests you most. Expect heat and humidity; bring sunscreen and a hat.
Good to know
Wear sturdy walking shoes for boardwalks and rocky terrain. Bring a camera with a good zoom for wildlife. The tour suits all fitness levels, though some walking is involved. Infants and toddlers can travel in prams. Dinner is not included. Depart early for the best light and animal activity.
