Kakadu Air Scenic Flights

Kakadu is spectacular to look at, but immensely more interesting when on a Kakadu Air flight you receive a running commentary about the things you see, and many that you can't. On fixed wing aircraft flights the commentary is researched, recorded and delivered by long term Kakadu experts, via headsets.

Nanguluwur Art Site

Reviewed By mazzaintazza - London, United Kingdom

A 1km dirt road (fine for 2wd vehicles if you go slow) takes you to the car park. A pleasant and easy 30 minute walk brings you to the rock art site, which includes ‘contact art’, painted after Europeans arrived in the region. Some reasonable signage helps explain the stories and importance of the paintings. Only 1 other person was there during our visit - it’s Coronavirus-time so everywhere is soooo quiet at the moment, but I imagine this is generally a tranquil spot to have a walk and see rock art, certainly compared to Ubirr and Nourlangie which would get really, annoyingly, busy during a ‘normal’ tourist season.

Yurmikmik Walks

Reviewed By HanneS687 - Roan Municipality, Norway

We did both the short Boulder Creek walk and the longer Motor Car Falls walk and enjoyed both. Boulder Creek was a very pleasant surprise as we went in the wet season and had it all to ourselves.

Kakadu National park

Reviewed By hc2015 - Baulkham Hills, Australia

We stayed in Darwin so we should have drive fair bit/apps 3hrs to arrive at Jabiru to begin the journey. It was long distance for young kids to bear as scenery doesn't change much as well as adults who had to drive the whole distance. We were hesitant of visiting Kakadu due to the distance but it is manageable in a day. Mind you you many visit only few places but still worth to go. Few places aren't available to visit during wet season and they have information centre where it shows opened/closed place. We had to pay for family visit of $65 for 7 day pass although we only stay for a day. It covers such a great national park with many heritage sites so it is must be paid before arriving the place otherwise you can pay at the information centre. If I may add a thought, it would attract more visitors if there were few interestin stops or sites to visit on the way from Darwin to Jabiru as 3 hrs of same scenery in 130km ph most road could be bit boring.

Bowali Visitors Centre

Reviewed By taylmw - Queanbeyan, Australia

This is a great place to start when coming to Kakadu. The staff are very friendly and helpful. There's a wealth of information available about the attractions and road conditions, and you can also buy your Park pass (a must have for all visitors unless you live in the NT). The shop there has a great range of souvenirs and the Cafe is a welcome place after a few hours on the road. It has free wifi and a whole bench dedicated to computer users with fitted powerpoints etc. A highly recommended place to start your Kakadu visit.
