Our 'Unleashed' safari is the extreme side of Adventure Tours & is for YOUNG, FIT PEOPLE only. It includes strenuous hikes and basic bush camping (sleeping in swags with no tents) often in remote locations so we can get away from the crowds where possible in Kakadu National Park.
Day 1 Darwin to Mary River and Kakadu National Park
First we're off to Mary River Wetlands, with the highest concentration of saltwater crocodiles in the southern hemisphere. Get close (but not too close!) to salties' and other wild creatures on a cruise of the wetlands. This afternoon we go to history-rich Ubirr, where vivid Aboriginal rock art dates back over 20,000 years. Then we head to our overnight bush camp in Kakadu. (LD)
Day 2 Kakadu National Park
It's an early one this morning as we travel to Twin Falls. The spectacular gorge is experienced onboard a National Park operated boat and along the boardwalk. Unwind and relax for a bit on the sandy banks before we head deep into the escarpment country to the awesome Jim Jim Falls. It's a challenging climb to the top of the falls (seasonal) but it's worth it for the sensational views over Kakadu. You'll be asleep in no time once we reach our overnight bush camp in Kakadu! (BLD)
Day 3 Kakadu to Darwin
After waking up in our swags, we head down to the Warradjan Cultural Centre to check out the detailed information about Aboriginal Culture in Kakadu. Then we take a hike at Maguk (Barramundi Falls), followed by a cooling dip in the plunge pools. We then take the 4WD Old Darwin Road (seasonal), passing the White Lily flood plains along the way as we return back to Darwin after an exciting three days in Kakadu. (BL)
