kakadu wet season tours

Start your leisurely journey departing from Darwin and heading out the 300 kms to the UNESCO World Heritage-Listed Kakadu National Park. Our summer is lush and tropical, so we’ll stop at a few places along the way to take in some of the amazing scenery on offer including Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve where we can see a huge array of bird and wildlife species endemic to Australia’s Top End. Passing through the Wetlands Region we’ll of course ensure we have a photo at the welcome sign to Kakadu National Park – an unmissable opportunity. The remainder of the morning will see us wind our way through Kakadu to the north of the park, spending some time in the township of Jabiru. Enjoy a picnic lunch here and browse the art (and great coffee) that Marruwuddi gallery has on offer, before heading south to the hub of Cooinda where we will check in to our accommodation and have a leisurely relaxation. This evening’s sunset will take place on board Kakadu’s famous 2-hour Yellow Water Cruise. This cruise is an absolute must-do for every visitor to the region, with the wet summer season’s rainfall resulting in the billabong stretching much further than it does during the dry winter season. Wildlife abounds and the sky will put on a show as you watch the last of the sun fall beyond the horizon. Your evening will be spent enjoying an amazing 3-course hospitality offering exclusively put together for you by Cooinda’s chef and team to highlight the tastes of the Territory.

Meals: Lunch, Dinner (beverages at own expense). Accom: *Cooinda Outback Retreat Glamping Tent in either a Queen or Bunk bed (with shared bathroom). *Driving Distance: 315km. Hike Distance and Grading: 1km loop Grade 1, flat pathways and/or boardwalks.

You have the potential to rise and shine early on day two and make your way to view the magic of sunrise at Burrungkuy’s Nawurlandja lookout. After admiring the ever-changing colours of this majestic area at this time of day, we will enjoy breakfast close by and then head into Burrungkuy’s main rock art viewing galleries to enjoy some of the best and most notable rock art in Australia. Around mid-morning we will return to check out of our accommodation in Cooinda, and enjoy a cultural art experience in the grounds of Warradjan Cultural Centre which focuses on the central and southern regions of the park. This hands-on art experience will be delivered by local community members including traditional owners. Have the opportunity to explore the cultural centre which also showcases a large gallery and gift shop, and feed your taste buds as we enjoy a picnic lunch in tropical surroundings. After lunch, it’s now time to begin the journey back to Darwin. Winding our way back through around 300 kms of lush Australian bush, allow Kakadu to farewell you as we pass through its amazing biodiverse environment, a notable reason that this wonderful region is UNESCO World Heritage Listed for both natural and cultural values. Returning to Darwin by 6pm, enjoy the remainder of your evening reflecting on the time you’ve spent exploring and the new friends you’ve gained. If hiking, waterfalls and pristine rock pools are next on your list, we look forward to welcoming you back next time during the region’s dry season for further exploration!

9 immersive Kakadu tours you must experience

Elizabeth Whitehead

Writer & Producer

09 February 2024

Time

Kakadu is not only steeped in natural beauty – it also holds 65,000 years of Indigenous history.

Choosing which tours to do in Kakadu National Park can be bamboozling, so we’ve taken the hard work out with this list of the best tours in Kakadu.

The Traditional Owners are the Bininj in the north of Kakadu and the Mungguy in the south. The landscape heaves with life, both cultural and natural, and contains a multitude of spiritual sites.

There are plenty of tours in Kakadu that offer incredible insights into the land and local culture. Where possible, it’s a great idea to seek out  Indigenous-owned businesses  and tour guides, as Aboriginal people hold the knowledge, stories and culture of the region and have done so for many millennia.

It’s worth noting that to enter Kakadu, you’ll need to purchase a Parks Pass , which can be organised online, or bought at one of the locations listed on Parks Australia’s website. Once you’ve got that sorted, here are the best tours in Kakadu to explore.

1. Yellow Water Cruises

Best for: Families and wildlife lovers

The  Yellow Water Cruise  is one of the most iconic tours in Kakadu and operates year-round out of Cooinda Lodge (one of  Kakadu’s most popular accommodation offerings ). The landscape is ever-changing depending on the season, so no two cruises will be the same.

Take the Yellow Water Cruise at sunset.

The wetlands are truly spectacular, and you’ll spot birdlife in abundance. Kakadu is home to around one-third of Australia’s bird species, and on the Yellow Water Billabong is a great place to witness jabiru, sea eagles, magpie geese and egrets. Take the tour at dawn or dusk when the wildlife is more active.

Price: Starting from $105 per person for a 1.5-hour cruise

2. Guluyambi Cultural Cruise

Best for: Travellers seeking a cultural experience

From a small dock not far from Ubirr, you will venture to the  Arnhem Land  side of the East Alligator River on a  small covered boat cruise.  This is an intimate tour where an Aboriginal guide will share local culture, stories and mythology.

This Aboriginal reserve is otherwise inaccessible to tourists unless you have a permit. However, as guests of the Traditional Owners on this tour, you can venture where most cannot. Expect to see some impressively large crocodiles, sandy beaches, ancient rock art and a spear-throwing demonstration.

Price: $84 for a one-hour and 45-minute cruise

3. Rock art tours

Best for: Families and travellers curious about Indigenous history and spirituality.

Kakadu holds thousands of  rock art sites , which are some of the oldest records of any group of people in the world. The two most famous rock art sites in Kakadu are Ubirr and Burrungkuy (Nourlangie). Here, you’ll find enigmatic depictions of animals, spirits and Indigenous Creation Ancestors.

Find mystic creatures illustrated on the Burrungkuy Rock Art.

If you’re interested in learning about local Indigenous culture, a taking tour of Kakadu’s rock art is one of the best things to do in the national park.

The local Bininj guides of  Yibekka Rock Art Tours  lead tours to Burrungkuy, sharing the incredible stories behind the rock art as well as the Dreaming stories held within the landscape.

For groups looking to enrich their experience in Kakadu, take a cultural tour of Ubirr and/or Burrungkuy with  Ayal Aboriginal Tours , where your knowledgeable guide will interpret the landscape and images you’re witnessing.

Price: For Yibekka Tours, enquire about pricing on their website. For Ayal Aboriginal Tours, a private guide for 90 minutes starts at $550 for groups of up to 15 people.

4. Ranger-guided walks, talks and workshops

Best for: Families and travellers curious about Indigenous history and spirituality

One of the best things about Kakadu is that its most popular walking trails are staffed by park rangers who, during the dry season, give guided tours for free. The tours are part of Kakadu’s interpretive program, which includes guided walks, slideshows in certain campgrounds, art site talks and cultural demonstrations like pandanus weaving and Indigenous painting techniques.

The program schedule changes each dry season, so stay up to date with The Parks’  schedule of ranger-guided activities . Attending is free, although you do need to book online in advance.

Price: Free

5. Wildlife safari

Best for: Immersing in Aboriginal culture

Animal Tracks  is a seven-hour wildlife safari and fascinating Aboriginal cultural tour in a 4WD bus that runs in the dry season.

You’ll hunt and forage ingredients for your dinner, then cook them to eat while watching the sunset over a billabong alive with bird life. Animal Tracks has exclusive access to some areas of wetlands and woodlands, with a maximum of 18 guests and led by an expert Aboriginal guide.

Price: From $220

6. Scenic flights

Best for: Travellers with an adventurous streak

A helicopter flight in Kakadu is an unforgettable experience. Get a new perspective of the floodplains and escarpments from the air, especially in the wet season. Feel like you’re in an action movie as you soar over savanna woodlands in a doorless helicopter, whizzing past magnificent waterfalls and darting through canyons.

Kakadu Air Services  offer scenic flight options that last between 20 minutes and an hour. If you’re short on time, Kakadu Air Services also offer a Darwin to Kakadu day trip via helicopter that takes in a few of the key attractions, as well as unparalleled vistas of the landscape. The tour returns to Darwin at 4pm on the same day.

Be mesmerised by the jagged rock formations up above.

The Scenic Flight Company is another local operator with 14 years of experience in aviation tourism. Visitors can truly kick back and take in the landscape with a one-hour and 45-minute scenic helicopter tour.

Kakadu has the most magnificent waterfalls.

Price: From $150 for a half-hour fixed-wing flight with Kakadu Air Services.  Enquire here  for pricing for The Scenic Flight Company.

7. 4WD tours

Best for: Travellers looking to get off the beaten path (literally).

A four-wheel-drive tour of Kakadu allows visitors to get right into the heart of the National Park, and access areas way off the beaten track.

For a full day of activity, hop in a 4WD with the Indigenous-owned Spirit of Kakadu Adventure Tour  that departs from Cooinda Lodge. In the dry season, you’ll head for Jim Jim and Twin Falls, which plunge off the escarpment, making them two of the most spectacular sights in Kakadu.

Hover above the spectacular waterfalls in Kakadu.

If you’re looking for unique cultural insights, the Traditional Owners that run  Kakadu Cultural Tours  have access to exclusive sites in Northern Kakadu and Arnhem Land. Arnhemlander is an exceptional day tour into Western Arnhem Land.

Or perhaps you’d like to a few days with Sab Lord – a legend in the Northern Territory known as a classic outback character. Sab’s Lords Safaris take day and multi-day tours into Kakadu. His family owned and operated the last pastoral land that later became part of Kakadu National Park and Sab has maintained his connection to the land.

Price: The Spirit of Kakadu starts from $380 and The Arnhemlander starts from $289.  Enquire here  for Lord’s Safari’s multi-day tour pricing.

8. Fishing trips

Best for: Fishing fanatics

The wet season displaces millions of litres of water, making Kakadu a  fishing hotspot . After the wet season, barramundi (alongside other fish) collect in certain areas, including Yellow Water, South and East Alligator River, Sandy Billabong, and Two- and Four-Mile Holes.

Fishing in Kakadu requires a licence, but if you don’t have one (or don’t want the hassle of hiring your boat and 4WD), you can join a local fishing tour. Some operators like  Kakadu Fishing Tours  run day tours from Darwin to Kakadu.

Otherwise, there are a few options if you’d like to add some fishing to your itinerary while in the park. Kakadu Fishing Tours also runs a charter service that can go anywhere you like.

Cooinda Lodge offers  Yellow Water Fishing Tours  on the beautiful Yellow Water Billabong.  Bamurru Lodge , a luxury property nearby Kakadu, turns exclusively into a dedicated barramundi fishing lodge during the run-off.

Price: Yellow Water Fishing Tours are from $250 per person including all fishing gear and cold drinks. Half-day fishing tours are from $250 per person with Kakadu Fishing Tours.

9. Day trips from Darwin

Best for: Travellers short on time, travellers without a car, or travellers who want to kick back and let someone else take care of the planning.

Take away the stress of organising your visit to Kakadu with either a day trip or a multi-day tour from Darwin. We recommend more than one day to truly take in all the region has to offer, but if time is a luxury you don’t have, then there are a few options.

A scenic  flight tour of Kakadu from Darwin  will save you the most time, stopping off at a few key attractions before returning to Darwin in the afternoon.

Or, set out bright and early for a day tour of Kakadu from Darwin via coach with  AAT Kings . If you’ve got a bit more time on your hands, then  Intrepid Tours  offers a four-day Darwin to Kakadu tour that takes in the very best the Top End has to offer.

an aerial view of Kakadu National Park

There’s just more to discover in the Top End.

Price: Day tours via air start at $849 with Kakadu Air Services. A day tour via coach starts at $365 with AAT Kings. A four-day trip is from $1484 with Intrepid.

kakadu tours from darwin 2 day

Full Itinerary

Start your leisurely journey departing from Darwin and heading out the 300 km to the UNESCO World Heritag-Listed Kakadu National Park. Our summer is lush and tropical, so we’ll stop at a few places along the way to take in some of the amazing scenery on offer, including Fogg Dam Conservation Reserve, where we can see a huge array of bird and wildlife species endemic to Australia’s Top End. Passing through the Wetlands Region, we’ll, of course, ensure we have a photo at the welcome sign to Kakadu National Park – an unmissable opportunity. The remainder of the morning will see us wind our way through Kakadu to the north of the park, spending some time in the township of Jabiru. Enjoy a picnic lunch here and browse the art (and great coffee) that Marruwuddi Gallery has on offer before heading south to the hub of Cooinda, where we will check in to our accommodation and have a leisurely relaxation. This evening’s sunset will take place on board Kakadu’s famous 2-hour Yellow Water Cruise. This cruise is an absolute must-do for every visitor to the region, with the wet summer season’s rainfall resulting in the billabong stretching much further than it does during the dry winter season. Wildlife abounds, and the sky will put on a show as you watch the last of the sun fall beyond the horizon. Your evening will be spent enjoying an amazing 3-course hospitality offering exclusively put together for you by Cooinda’s chef and team to highlight the tastes of the Territory.

Meals: Lunch, Dinner (beverages at own expense). Accom: Cooinda Outback Retreat Glamping (shared bathroom) or Lodge Room (private ensuite). All room types have air-conditioning including the glamping tent. Driving Distance: 315km. Hike Distance and Grading: 1km loop Grade 1, flat pathways and/or boardwalks.

You have the potential to rise and shine early on day two and make your way to view the magic of sunrise at Burrungkuy’s Nawurlandja lookout. After admiring the ever-changing colours of this majestic area at this time of day, we will enjoy breakfast close by and then head into Burrungkuy’s main rock art viewing galleries to enjoy some of the best and most notable rock art in Australia. Around mid-morning, we will return to check out of our accommodation in Cooinda and enjoy a cultural art experience on the grounds of Warradjan Cultural Centre, which focuses on the central and southern regions of the park. This hands-on art experience will be delivered by local community members, including traditional owners. Have the opportunity to explore the cultural centre, which also showcases a large gallery and gift shop, and feed your taste buds as we enjoy a picnic lunch in tropical surroundings. After lunch, it’s now time to begin the journey back to Darwin. Winding our way back through around 300 km of lush Australian bush, allow Kakadu to farewell you as we pass through its amazing biodiverse environment, a notable reason that this wonderful region is UNESCO World Heritage Listed for both natural and cultural values. Returning to Darwin by 6 pm, enjoy the remainder of your evening reflecting on the time you’ve spent exploring and the new friends you’ve gained. If hiking, waterfalls and pristine rock pools are next on your list, we look forward to welcoming you back next time during the region’s dry season for further exploration!

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch. Driving Distance: 315 kms. Hike Distance and Grading: 1km Grade 3 with steep areas. Good general agility and sturdy footwork required.

Prices and surcharges  

Our tour prices are subject to variable and seasonal pricing, both of which are standard practice within the travel industry.

Our commitment

At Autopia Tours, we actively promote the protection of flora and fauna on our Darwin Top End Tours. It is our duty to ensure there is minimal disturbance to this World  Heritage Listed region and the species that call it home. Cultural sensitivity and respect for the traditional owners should also be shown at all times.

Part of our responsibility is educating guests on minimal impact practices and the importance of ensuring the safety of wildlife and the environmental sustainability of the destinations we visit.

Learn more about EcoTourism: https://www.ecotourism.org.au/

Traditional Owners

Autopia Tours would like to begin by paying our respects to the traditional owners of this country, with specific acknowledgement to the Wurundjeri people. Please be conscious and respectful of the sensitivities of indigenous culture and the spiritual connection they have with the land at all times.

Wildlife Encounters

The natural behaviours of wildlife are to be respected and not interfered with. When viewing wildlife, people should take care to avoid rapid or sudden movements, which could frighten the animal, and should keep noise to a minimum and refrain from touching, petting or feeding all wildlife including birds. Contact with people can introduce diseases to wildlife and can cause them to become aggressive.

Wildlife should not be handled or fed, unless by certified wildlife handlers. Feeding wildlife can alter their natural foraging behaviour and can lead to disease or illness through contact with people and the introduction of foods that are harmful to their digestive system. Feeding wildlife can also cause them to become aggressive toward people.

Wildlife that appears to be in distress, injured or in danger should be reported immediately to the appropriate authority, such as your Guide/Tour Leader, a National Park Ranger or Visitor Centre Staff.

Protecting our National Parks

People should remain on designated walking tracks, behind safety barriers/fences and follow all directions given by the guide/tour leader. Venturing off these can alter fragile ecosystems and can harm wildlife shelters and native vegetation. There are other dangers to be aware of too, such as cliff edges, unstable rock formations, overhanging tree branches and slippery ground cover. Remaining on tracks ensures safe visitation for guests and the environment.

No flora or fauna should be removed from their natural setting. This includes dead wood, fallen leaves, flowers and so forth, as they form part of the ecosystem of the region and their removal could cause a disturbance.

Waste Management

All buses are fitted with waste bins. No organic waste should be disposed of onto the ground. Although organic, items such as banana peels, apple cores, bread and other food scraps, are not natural/native to the region and can introduce pest species, diseases or harm to wildlife if found and eaten. We recommend all passengers bring a water bottle with you on our Grampians Tour. Purchasing bottled water contributes large amounts of plastic into the landfill. Therefore, we ask guests to bring their own bottle, as there is access to water refill stations available on our vehicles. Please ensure you stay hydrated throughout the tour to reduce the risk of sun exposure and dehydration.

All our guides carry a current Level 2 First Aid certificate. Please report any accident or illness to your tour guide. We recommend anyone with an existing medical condition to carry their medication with them on tour and to notify their tour guide at the beginning of the tour.

If you are a smoker! We ask you to refrain from smoking whilst in the company of other passengers and limit it to designated smoking areas. Smoking is not permitted on any of our vehicles, or in any type of accommodation including permanent campsites. We make frequent ‘comfort stops’ to allow free time for guests but cannot guaranteed smoke breaks. Please ensure you dispose of your cigarette butt responsibly and appropriately.

Is it safe to travel in Australia’s outback? (Acceptance of Risk)

Australia is home to many dangerous creatures, extreme weather conditions, and varied terrain. Experiencing these dangers while camping, hiking, or passing time outside may increase your personal risk. Safety is our number one priority, and our guides are highly trained to ensure passenger safety at all times. Get Lost Travel Pty Ltd cannot accept responsibility for any loss, injury, or accident caused by passengers onboard Autopia Tours. In the Top End, children must be at least 6 years old for day trips and 8 years old for overnight tours. Children under the age of 18 must always be accompanied by an adult, legal guardian, or caregiver. Despite all care being taken, the responsibility for children on tour lies entirely with their parents or caregivers. Passengers, including children, must wear shoes, sunscreen, and hats at all times.

Do I require travel insurance for the Top End?

It is highly recommended that all passengers have personal travel insurance, given we’re exploring remote parts of the Northern Territory with limited access to health professionals in the event of sickness or injury.  Autopia Tours is not authorised to provide information on the type of plan or policy options available. This can be provided by an accredited local travel agent or from your preferred insurance company.

What is the temperature like in the Northern Territory?

The weather in the Northern Territory can fluctuate and be extreme. It is not unheard of for temperatures to reach over 40+ degrees Celsius in the dry season and in the evening the temperature drops dramatically. Please ensure you have checked the average temperatures for the time of year you are traveling and have packed adequate clothing. In the event of rain or inclement weather, your experience will still go ahead, unless contacted by the provider.

What is your Vaccination Policy?

In accordance with current Government regulations, it is no longer a requirement to be double vaccinated, although we do highly recommend it.

Our COVID Statement

For your safety, we have implemented comprehensive hygiene measures and increased regular sanitation. Temperature checks of all staff will be conducted pre-departure, with disposable face masks and hand-sanitizer provided. For more information click  here .

2 Day Kakadu Tour (Wet Season)

Lowest price guaranteed

Great value all-inclusive trip

2 Day Kakadu Tour

Discover everything Kakadu has to offer on this 2 Day Kakadu Tour that exposes you to stunning waterfalls and sleeping under the stars. You’ll travel around in a 4WD to experience all the hidden gems in the region.

Operates: Saturday

Departs: 7:00am

Returns: 5:30pm

This tour is suitable for travellers aged 18 - 49 years and requires a reasonable level of fitness.

We have limited space on our 4WD transportation and therefore luggage is limited to one medium sized soft bag or backpack (max 10kgs) and a day pack per person. Large backpacks or suitcases cannot be accommodated and should be left at your accommodation in Darwin for the duration of the tour.

2 Day Kakadu Tour Itinerary

Day One (Lunch & Dinner) We’ll begin the 2 Day Kakadu Tour by heading straight to Kakadu and joining a crocodile jumping cruise, where you can learn more about Australia’s prehistoric critters and spot more of the unique wildlife that resides in this part of the country.

Afterwards, we’ll head on into the park for a picnic on the banks of the pretty East Alligator River. Keep your eyes peeled for some crocodiles and flying foxes and you refuel.

Next, it’s on to Nourlangie Rock, where you can explore some of the world’s oldest rock paintings that date back thousands of years. We’ll take you on a leisurely stroll up to Gunwhardewharde lookout for incredible views across the scenery before making our way to the Warradjan Cultural Centre to learn more about the Aboriginal heritage of the park.

Finally, we’ll head to Mardugal Safari camp, where we’ll tuck into a delicious Aussie BBQ and bed down for the night.

Day Two (Breakfast & Lunch) We start the last day early by heading straight to Gunlom Falls or Yurmikmik. After a couple of short walks, you can cool off with a refreshing swim in the plunge pools before we head on to the Bowali Visitor Centre to learn more about the rich heritage of the region.

From there, we head back to Darwin, where the 2 Day Kakadu Tour unfortunately comes to an end.

Wonders of the wet-season - Amazing Kakadu tours and more!

The wet-season = spectacular kakadu tours, exciting litchfield safaris and relaxing katherine gorge cruises... .

The wet-season is a time of lush green landscapes, epic sunsets and Hollywood quality lightning shows! Although a wet-season tour may not be no. 1 on everyone’s bucket list we have found many people who visit during the dry-season often seek to come back and experience the other side of the coin.

wet-season-amazing-kakadu-tours

Depending on who you ask the wet-season starts in October or November and runs all the way up until the end of April. The beginning of ‘the wet’ is a time we call the ‘build-up’ and it’s a time where the Top End is at its hottest as we wait for the onset of the monsoonal rains. This is the ‘silly season’ a time when people are known to go a little ‘troppo’ as the Gods tease us with cooling rains but not a lot eventuates. It does get a little sweaty at this time and multiple showers (the bathroom type) are not an uncommon occurrence. It’s also a time where a cold beer before mid-day is socially acceptable!

wet-season-amazing-kakadu-tours-monsoon

January to March is then when the majority of the rain falls, roughly around 350mm per month in Darwin. Next we head into April and rain become less frequent then by the 1st of May ‘the dry’ officially starts. Over the duration of the wet-season around 95% of our yearly rain falls, an average of about 1.7 meters!

Your experience of the wet-season really depends on when you visit. There are plenty of touring options throughout this time and for those willing to put up with a bit of heat and humidity the wet-season offers a lot. Spectacular thunder and lightning storms are one of the big draw cards. It’s quite something to see Mother Nature in all its fury (and from the comfort of somewhere dry, perhaps with a glass of wine in hand!).

wet-season-storm-kakadu-tours

During the wet-season Venture North only operates tailor-made private charter tours, each designed specifically for the individual or group. At this time of year we love to tour Kakadu National Park as well as Litchfield National Park and Katherine Gorge (Nitmiluk National Park). All of these destinations offer very different and often more spectacular sites than in the dry-season. 

The other great thing is you usually don’t have to share these places with loads of other tourists.

You have to remember too that when it rains it’s not like down south where it gets cold. It’s always warm during the wet but the rain (often just a passing shower) cools the land and entices you to continue to explore. With the rain the billabongs, rivers, creeks and floodplains swell and the waterfalls begin pumping. There is no better time for a scenic flight tour over Kakadu or Litchfield than at this time of year.

jim-jim-falls-wet-season

With the change of season many wet-season sites come alive. Waterfalls that do not exist during the dry pop up and stagnant waterholes become perfect for swimming once again. The Yurmikmik Walks in Kakadu should be on every tour itinerary as both Boulder Creek and Motorcar Falls offer great hiking and swimming opportunities. Moline Rockhole is another good swimming option in Kakadu and if you’re interested in rock art then you can still access Nourlangie and Ubirr. As the rivers rise the road to Ubirr eventually becomes impassable which then allows you to catch a boat to the site through the flooded Magela Creek, very cool!

During the wet you can still do tours through Katherine Gorge (Nitmiluk) but most other activities around here cease. Litchfield though still offers a range of options including various swimming sites, the termite mounds and waterfalls. The nearby Territory Wildlife Park also operates year round.

wet-season-amazing-kakadu-tours

The wet-season may induce some negative connotations for some but for the intrepid traveller that does visit they are never disappointed. So why not save a few dollars (it’s much cheaper to travel here at this time of year) and give the wet-season a crack!   For more information on our  year round private charters please  get in touch .

  • Wet and Wild Kakadu Summer

Dense in beauty and vast in size, Kakadu is the single largest national park in Australia. With the wet season upon us or Kudjewk in the local indigenous language, Kakadu is in one of the most spectacular seasons and is a bucket list destination for the end of year/new year holiday. So what can you expect from a Kakadu wet season experience? Simply put, something distinct in nature that cannot be replicated at any other time of the year. Imagine overflowing waterfalls that are cool as they are rapid, lush, and vibrant vegetation and the sound of unfiltered mother nature. Throw in the potential to explore freely with minimal disruption of other visitors and reduced rates across accommodation/touring, and what you’ve got is a holiday experience that will live long in the memory.

All of that aside, we haven't even mentioned the increased number of animals that are out grazing the fresh and abundant landscape. The increased rainfall and humidity during the wet season provide the perfect environment for wildlife to acquire food and mate meaning you’ll be more likely to encounter them than in the dry season.

Tropical storms are a spectacular sight you will have the pleasure of viewing and is definitely an experience that needs to be seen to be truly appreciated. And if this doesn’t satisfy your appetite for mind-blowing scenery, take a scenic flight over Jim Jim and Twin Falls to witness this stunning and unique landscape from an aerial perspective. Some tour operators even have permits that will allow you to access areas of the park with rock art and lookouts over soaked floodplains, the best part is there won’t be anyone in sight! Kakadu is a UNESCO world heritage listed site for being home to one of the longest living cultures in the world. The potential to visit ancient art sites like Nanguluwur that showcases art that is over 20000 years old is an opportunity not to be missed for a unique Australian cultural experience .

Being able to explore and absorb the beauty of the park without many tourists will provide true enjoyment that cannot be overstated enough. Given that Kudjewk can throw up periods of rain to disrupt exploration and adventure, it’s important to come prepared. Make sure you visit the Parks Australia website for information on visitor closures or reach out to us at Kakadu Tourism for the latest park updates. Rain is the best part of the Wet Season as it brings life to the park and a significant volume of water to make the waterfalls thunder. It also brings a moment to cool down and relax during your adventure.

If getting wet and wild isn’t your thing, perhaps a walk to Nawurlandja lookout to watch a majestic Kakadu sunset over the Arnhem Land Plateau will tickle your sightseeing fancies.

To further compliment the number of options you’ve got to see Kakadu National Park, there is the captivating Yellow Water boat cruise to treat your eyes to. This iconic cruise will allow you to explore the South Alligator River and Yellow Water Billabong from the comfort of a small boat. Doing this cruise during Kudjewk season will provide the opportunity to look out over the floodplains in all their glory and further take in the lush and green vegetation. Keep your eyes peeled for birds such as kingfishers and bee-eaters they’ll likely be frolicking around in plain sight. Although potentially limited by the closure of specific walks due to intermittent flooding, there is still the potential for the adventurous tourist to do the 12km Barkk hike , the motor car falls walk, and the 11km Kurrundie walk. Kakadu National Park during the wet season will provide a unique holidaying experience with great financial and personal value that you wouldn’t be able to achieve during a normal dry season. For details on potential accommodation follow the links around the website.

Kakadu is one of the largest national parks in Australia, covering a staggering 20,000 sq km. With that much land to cover, and so many out-of-this world sights to take in, planning your trip can be confusing.

Our itineraries have been designed by people who live and work in Kakadu, and have helped thousands of visitors get the most out of their holiday.

We’ll make sure you tick off all the iconic sites and experiences. You’ll see the world-class rock art, walk through pristine bushland and absorb the true spirit of the land.

Kakadu is not something that should be crammed into a day! It’s a remote wilderness that should be savoured – Kakadu will change you.

Tip: The Traditional Owners recognise six seasons in Kakadu. But for trip-planning purposes it’s best to break them into the dry season (April to October) and tropical summer (November to March).
