We begin our active day with a hike into the Gubarra Springs or Maguk areas and explore its remote and secluded sandstone environments. This area provides real opportunity for exploration as it is a more remote visitor site. This Kakadu feature in particular really is where our extended guiding and knowledge of Kakadu allows you a very unique and memorable Kakadu experience. As we lead you into and around these stunning Kakadu aquatic features, you are exposed to an incredibly diverse range of habitats and flowing from and continuing through the surrounding stone country. These areas remain well-respected and favored Kakadu sites for long term visitors and Kakadu guides as we are sure you will appreciate.
These areas also provide the avid bird watcher and photographers with endless opportunities!
