Arnhemland Adventure From Kakadu Tour
 

Day 1 Jabiru - Mount Borradaile

The adventure begins with a spectacular scenic flight to Mount Borradaile, spanning the World Heritage Wetlands of Kakadu National Park, one of the wildest coastlines in Australia.

After your breathtaking flight settle into airy tents before your first open air 4WD trip to a nearby Aboriginal rock art site where a six metre long rainbow serpent dominates an awesome rock shelter.

You have the chance to swim in rock pools atop the escarpment before enjoying an appetising lunch. Spend the early afternoon in cool rock overhangs and take the time to absorb the spirit of at least 50,000 years of human creativity.

In the late afternoon you have the opportunity to go to a billabong for a sunset cruise. Admire the amazing bird life and crocodiles before returning to camp and the friendly buzz of conversation over dinner.

Overnight: Mount Borradaile Campsite

Day 2 Mount Borradaile

Awake to charming breakfast before you travel further a field to explore an area described as 'living museum'.

Discover the history of the area. Traditional beliefs say that much of the rich tapestry of art dates from the time of creation and more recent generations recorded the arrival of traders and early European explorers to the shores of northern Australia.

Back to camp for lunch followed by a lazy afternoon swim. Enjoy a bush walk to discover bush foods and art.

Try your luck at fishing in the nearby billabong for the famous Barramundi game fish.
