This tour will take you to Kakadu National Park which is Australia’s largest national park. The park offers great ecological and biological diversity which partly explains why it is so popular with visitors. About one third of Australia's bird species are represented in the Kakadu National Park. There are at least 60 species of birds found in the wetlands. Whistling ducks and Magpie geese are the most abundant.

The 1,500 square kilometre Litchfield National Park encloses much of the spectacular Tabletop Range, which is a wide sandstone plateau mostly surrounded by cliffs.

Cruise along in the famous Katherine Gorge, explore ancient Aboriginal art sites, stroll through monsoon rainforests, swim below cascading waterfalls and experience a beautiful, unspoiled wilderness on this tour.
