FIRST-CLASS | TAILOR-MADE: The average Australia vacation rarely gives the Northern Territory the attention it deserves. Get a real taste of the Australian Outback on this adventure from Darwin into Kakadu National Park and Arnhemland.


There’s nowhere quite like Australia’s Top End! Outback wilderness and ancient cultures come together on this unforgettable 5-day trip, ideal for the adventurous traveller who still enjoys their first-class comforts.

Fly to Darwin before going on to Litchfield National Park. You’ll have opportunities for swimming in natural pools, hiking this pristine wilderness, and spotting plenty of wildlife. Stay overnight at Cooinda, then embark on a Yellow Waters cruise, a great opportunity to spot fearsome saltwater crocodiles in their natural habitat. Go on to Nourlangie Rock, where you’ll see Aboriginal rock art dating back 20,000 years. Learn about the traditional Aboriginal owners of these lands, and how they continue to care for them today.

Your tour takes you to secluded escarpments with fantastic sunset views over Arnhem Land that will make you fall in love with this ancient land just a little bit more. After one more night in the wilderness, stop in at Twin Falls Gorge and Jim Jim Falls on your way back to Darwin, with time for any sightseeing or shopping you may want to do before your onward travels.
