// ITINERARY

Day 1: Welcome to Darwin

Your Top End Tour starts with a night in the capital of the Northern Territory - Darwin. Your accommodation will be at the Youth Shack Hostel in Darwin's CBD.

Day 2: Darwin to Kakadu

Today is when your Top End Adventure really begins with a bright and early start at 6:30am. Your Adventure Tours guide will pick you up straight from your hostel and then get underway. Head east along the Arnhem Highway, crossing the Adelaide River towards the Corroborree Billabong. Your hour long crocodile cruise will see you spot heaps of crocs in their natural habitat - the Corroborree Billabong has the highest concentration of saltwater crocs in the entire world.

Then continue towards the beautiful Kakadu National Park. After a filling lunch check out the famous Cahill's Crossing over the East Alligator River before headubg to Ubirr to witness some Aboriginal Rock Art - some of which is over 5000 years old!

Your purpose built and exclusive camp is located in Jabiru - Kakadu's "capital city"

The accommodation for the next 3 nights will be in group exclusive campsites in permanent, powered tents (shared facilities)

Day 3: Kakadu National Park

After another early start and a bit of brekky, pack up and head south through the Kakadu National Park to Barramundi Gorge. Take a 1km walk through the bush to the refreshing water hole for a dip, chill in the water under the waterfall while taking in the nature and beautiful surroundings which have been preserved for 1000s of years!

After lunch the rest of the arvo includes a picture spot at Bukbukluk Lookout, another swim in the Moline Rockhole before heading down to Katherine. This evening enjoy pizza and some drinks while watching the sunset on the camp's sundeck overlooking the Katherine River.

Tonight stargaze around the campfire.

Day 4: Katherine Gorge

This morning, enjoy a 2-hour guided cruise in the stunning Katherine Gorge. Then make your way through the town of Katherine to our next stop, Edith Falls — an ideal spot for a picnic lunch and a refreshing swim. If you're up for it, you can hike to one of the upper pools, or simply unwind in the spacious lower plunge pool.

We travel north along the Stuart Highway, passing through the outback towns of Adelaide River and Pine Creek, before settling in for the night at our exclusive campsite on the edge of Litchfield National Park.

Day 5: Litchfield National Park

Today is the biggest swimming day on your Top End Adventure! Explore the Litchfield National Park - so much to see and one action packed day to see it all! On the way your guide will show you a termite mound which is a staple of the local landscape. The majority of today is filled with multiple, iconic swimming spots so make sure you've got you swimmers and camera easily accessible!!

Swim in stunning waterholes such as Buley Rockholes, Florence Falls & Wangi Falls or just relax on the rocks and enjoy some of that Aussie sun! After lunch (and a little more swimming) start making your way back up north Darwin. You'll return to Darwin around 3pm, have a quick chill and then visit the famous Mindil Beach Markets to pick up some souvenirs, have some international cuisine and watch the sunset with your new Top End travel mates!

The Top End Australia Tour will then finish on Day 5 at 6pm.
