About this tour
Spend eight days exploring Australia's Top End, based in Darwin with guided excursions into two of the country's most striking natural regions. You'll cruise Katherine Gorge's dramatic red cliffs, track wildlife through Kakadu's ancient landscape, and witness saltwater crocodiles launching themselves from the Adelaide River. Between tours, Darwin's beachside precinct, botanical gardens and heritage sites fill your downtime. Seven nights accommodation included, with transport by air-conditioned coach.

What to expect
You'll be collected each morning for guided coach tours through protected bushland and river systems. Days involve three to five hours of travel plus walking at each destination—nothing strenuous, but you'll be on your feet for moderate periods. Kakadu and Katherine Gorge trips run as full-day outings with lunch breaks. The Adelaide River crocodile cruise is a shorter half-day affair. Between organised tours, you have breathing room to wander Darwin's beach strips, visit the botanical gardens or sit in cafés. Evenings are yours; the sunset river cruise operates once during your stay.
Good to know
National park entry fees are not included and must be paid separately. Meals are your responsibility except where specified. Airport transfers require separate arrangement. Moderate fitness helps with walking sections, though the pace is leisurely. Bring sunscreen, hat and water—the Top End sun is fierce. Tours may shift order but all are guaranteed.
