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 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 including Whistling ducks and Magpie geese.

The Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre and the the Bowali Visitor Centre are great places to understand the region’s rich culture. You can see fascinating Aboriginal art at Ubirr and Nourlangie Rock and also enjoy a cruise in the East Alligator River which forms the border between Kakadu National Park and Arnhem Land. Also included in this tour is a memorable cruise between the sheer and brilliantly colored sandstone walls of majestic Katherine Gorge.

This tour will show you some of the most popular attractions of northern Australia and give you the opportunity to learn more about Aboriginal art and culture.
