4 Day Litchfield & Kakadu Tours
Green Season Jan- Apr

REMOTE & RUGGED KAKADU STONE COUNTRY, GUBARRA SPRINGS, NOURLANGIE ROCK, SUNSET AT NAWARLANDJA LOOKOUT

Today we delve deeper into Kakadu’s Cultural heartland as we penetrate the more remote and diverse habitats of the park. Monsoon forests, Stone Country, Woodlands and Waterfalls.

We begin our active day with a hike into the Gubarra Springs area and explore its rugged and secluded sandstone environment. This area provides real opportunity for exploration as it is a far more remote area of Kakadu. This expedition in particular really is where our extended guiding and knowledge of Kakadu provides you with a very unique and memorable Kakadu experience. As we lead you into and around Gubarra Springs, you are exposed to an incredibly diverse range of habitats, cultural intensity unlike anywhere else in Kakadu, and inviting water features that literally flow from and through the surrounding stone country. The Gubarra Springs area remains a well-respected and favoured Kakadu destination for many long term repeat visitors to the park, as we are sure you will appreciate after our expedition. This afternoon we lead you into and around the Nourlangie Rock Region, visiting more remote rock art sites, and some shorter hikes around the area. Late in the afternoon we climb Nawarlandja lookout to witness another Kakadu sunset from a very different but no less dramatic perspective.

After a very active day, we return to our accommodation for some well-deserved relaxation.

SOUTHERN KAKADU, MOTORCAR FALLS, BOULDER CREEK, HIKING & SWIMMING

After breakfast we travel to the far south of Kakadu and venture into the South Alligator volcanic valley. A short 4wd adventure delivers us to Kakadu’s southern hills and basins, which spring to life after our wet season rains, displaying tall seasonal waterfalls, lush vegetation and an abundance of wildlife. We have an opportunity to explore two of the southern waterfalls this morning, Motor Car Falls, and Boulder Creek.  Motor Car is a tall waterfall with a large plunge pool, nestled amongst lush monsoon forest against Kakadu’s stone country. Motor Car Falls is a little more remote and reached via a 7km return hike, but while there we take time for a refreshing swim and some snorkeling to view the aquatic life that lives beneath the surface in this extremely healthy eco system. On our return hike from Motor car Falls, if time permits we visit the smaller, more secluded Boulder Creek for another quick freshen up before leaving Kakadu bound for our Litchfield expedition.

This afternoon we travel along the Stuart highway to tonight’s classic “Top End” character accommodation.

LITCHFIELD WATERFALLS, SNORKELLING, SHORT HIKES, SECLUDED WATER FEATURES & TERMITES

Today is a full day of enjoying the aquatic playground for which Litchfield National park is renowned for. After last night’s accommodation close to the “Litchfield Gateway” we have the added advantage of an early entry, giving us a genuine full fun day of hiking, swimming and snorkelLing this absolute tropical paradise. We visit and indulge ourselves in all of Litchfield’s big name attractions and features such as; Wangi Falls, Tolmer falls, Buley Rockholes, Florence Falls, and we take you away from the crowds to the more hidden gems of Litchfield. And of course, lets not forget our fascinating termite supported ecology with their striking and unusually designed and built structures.

Late in the afternoon we “hit the road” for the last time and head for Darwin. Only 2 hours drive from Litchfield, we arrive back in town around 6pm and return you to your accommodation with time to reflect on your Charter North Tour Experience.
