4WD Dragonfly Dreaming Top End Safari | Australia Tours | Goway
- Duration
- 3 Days
- Prices From:
- US$ 539
The average Australia vacation rarely gives the Northern Territory the attention it deserves. Get a real taste of the Australian Outback on this short round-trip adventure from Darwin.
This 3-day trip through the Top End brings an extra layer of adventure to your Australia Vacation. Set out early from Darwin and explore Aboriginal legends and Kakadu National Park.
Depart early from Darwin, bound for Ubirr Rock, a superb example of Aboriginal rock art. A local guide helps put your sightseeing in perspective as you learn about legends such as that of the Rainbow Serpent, and take in views of Arnhem Land. Indigenous Australians have lived here for over 40,000 years, so there’s a lot to explore. Take a crocodile cruise on the Yellow Waters billabong to see some of Australia’s most feared predators (from a respectful distance!), as well as other wildlife unique to the region. Take in the views of Kakadu from Nawurlandja lookout, and stay overnight at Mount Bundy. Your final day is devoted to Litchfield National Park, characterised by waterfalls, impressive sandstone escarpments and magnetic termite mounts. Return to Darwin in the early evening.
