Some suggested itineraries include:

DAY ONE
Darwin to Jabiru (in Kakadu National Park):
250 kilometres

Depart Darwin on the Explorer’s Way and turn left onto the Arnhem Highway. Continue along to Jabiru in the World Heritage-listed Kakadu National Park. Birdwatchers and nature lovers should stop along the way at the Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve, Window on the Wetlands Visitor Centre and a jumping crocodile cruise on the Adelaide River. Spend the night in the township of Jabiru.

DAY TWO AND THREE
Continue experiencing Kakadu

Spend the next two or three days experiencing Kakadu. There are many Aboriginal rock art sites, walks to escarpment lookouts, waterfalls and impressive visitor centres. One of the best ways to experience Kakadu is from the air, so consider a scenic flight. There are also day trip options with indigenous experiences and Twin Falls boat cruises. Join a river or billabong cruise, the best place to experience Kakadu’s prolific wildlife with a local Aboriginal guide. Camp the night at Gunlom Falls.

DAY FOUR
Jabiru to Litchfield National Park:
360 kilometres

Depart Jabiru and continue south to Pine Creek. Gold was discovered at Pine Creek in 1871 and the original buildings built back in the heady gold days still stand. Pine Creek’s attractions include a Railway Station that was built in 1888 and Miners’ Park which houses original mining machinery. These are great places for a pub meal. Head back onto the Explorer’s Way to Litchfield National Park. Spend the night camping in one of the famous Litchfield falls, Buley Rockhole and then choose to walk to nearby waterfalls, Florence Falls.

DAY FIVE
Litchfield National Park to Darwin:
130 kilometres

Spend the day exploring Litchfield on the bushwalking tracks, admiring the bird and wildlife species, and swimming in the crystal-clear waterholes under thundering waterfalls that flow year-round. Take a wildlife cruise on the Reynolds River, part of a bordering working cattle station. At the end of the day, drive the hour-and-a-half back up the highway to Darwin.
