3 Day 4WD Arnhem Land & Kakadu Adventure

Itinerary

Day 1: Pudakul 'Welcome to Country' and Arnhem Land Welcome to tropical Darwin, where your adventure begins.

Learn about their ancient culture as you enjoy bush tucker talks, didgeridoo demonstrations and basket weaving. Next stop is the border of Kakadu and Arnhem Land to experience the Guluyumbi cruise. Enjoy your Binninj guide explain to you the importance of the East Alligator River. After the cruise we will enter Arnhem Land and go to an art site called Mawurndaddja. This site allows you to see first hand the history and culture of this region. See artwork that is many thousands of years old. This site is unique in the Top End and you will have it all to yourself.
