Kakadu National Park - Koolpin Gorge

KAKADU NATIONAL PARK

Where culture runs deep and nature runs wild—Kakadu is Australia, untouched.

Overview
Kakadu National Park is a place of staggering beauty and spiritual depth. Spanning nearly 20,000 square kilometres, it’s Australia’s largest national park and a dual World Heritage-listed site for both its natural and cultural values. Here, dramatic waterfalls plunge into croc-filled billabongs, Aboriginal rock art adorns ancient escarpments, and the wetlands pulse with life. Whether you’re here for wildlife, walking, or cultural connection, Kakadu is an experience that stays with you.

See and Do

The local favourite
Visit Ubirr for sunset, where 20,000-year-old rock art looks out over floodplains that stretch to the horizon. The view, and the sense of time, are both humbling.

A scene of pure natural beauty
Cruise the Yellow Water Billabong at dawn to see jabirus, crocodiles, and magpie geese in the early morning light. The wetlands here are among the most biodiverse in the world.

Adventures in nature
Hike to the dramatic escarpments and plunge pools of Jim Jim and Twin Falls (4WD access only), or visit Nourlangie Rock to see Aboriginal art and panoramic views. Go with a Bininj or Mungguy guide to understand the deep cultural connection to Country.
