Kakadu

World Heritage-listed Kakadu is Australia’s largest National Park, covering around 20,000 square kilometres.

Just under three hours' drive from Darwin, Kakadu is an area of immense beauty and aboriginal significance. Waterfalls, tropical rainforests, towering escarpments and magnificent natural galleries of Aboriginal art exist side-by-side, in an area described as an ecological and cultural masterpiece.

Few destinations on earth have the mystique of this unique and wild place. If you want your business event to have real appeal, simply put Kakadu into the pre- or post-event itinerary.  

Arnhem Land

This is an area so special that entry restrictions apply. Owned by the local Aboriginal people, Arnhem Land is one of the last great unspoiled areas of the world, free from 21st Century development and where the local culture remains largely intact. 
 

Kakadu experiences

Aboriginal culture

In Kakadu National Park and Arnhem Land, sharing and learning about aboriginal art and culture is central to the experience. Some tours explore the spectacular bush environment, searching for traditional foods and medicines. Others cruise rivers and billabongs or tell you the story of the didgeridoo. All provide an extraordinary insight into a timeless culture.  

Adventure

Cruise past giant crocodiles or climb to scenic rock pools and waterfalls for a refreshing swim. Sleep out in a tent or swag and ease into the natural rhythms of the Park.  

Birdwatching

Kakadu is home to over 275 bird species, or one-third of all those in Australia, making it a mecca for bird watchers. Some eight species are endemic to the region, with many others rare or endangered.  

Nature's Way Tourism Drive
