Kakadu National Park
Nature & Parks
Kakadu National Park is one of the country’s most iconic and ecologically diverse landscapes. Spanning nearly 20,000 square kilometers, it features a stunning mix of wetlands, escarpments, rainforests, and savannah woodlands.
The park is a UNESCO World Heritage site, recognized for both its natural beauty and its cultural significance, with Aboriginal people having lived in the region for over 65,000 years. Visitors can explore ancient rock art sites, spot crocodiles in billabongs, and witness breathtaking seasonal changes, especially during the dramatic wet season. Kakadu is not just a destination—it’s a living cultural landscape.
Kakadu offers visitors a unique opportunity to connect with Country and Culture through tours and activities.
It is a natural wonderland – 20,000 sq kms of outdoor adventure, Indigenous exploration, dramatic vistas and unhurried days.
Join the rangers for activities throughout Kakadu, including rock art site talks, walks, painting and weaving demonstrations and evening presentations at Bowali Visitor Centre in Jabiru, and Warradjan Aboriginal Cultural Centre in the Yellow Water region, and at other special sites throughout the park.
Fall in love with nature as you climb looming escarpments to view the spectacular tropical waterholes and waterways. Discover Kakadu through the Indigenous eye with local tours, glide over the wetlands on a sunrise cruise, soar above the landscape on a stunning scenic flight and join us for special and annual events held within the park.
There are spectacular fishing spots and vast wetlands and billabongs for boating and we’ve got some great sites to spot some crocs!
Kakadu is a place to spend time with friends and loved ones, making memories that will last a lifetime.
