Experience the World Heritage Kakadu National Park on this interactive day tour from Darwin. On this small group Kakadu day tour, your Offroad Dreaming Guide will interpret for you, the Ancient Artworks at the Ubirr Rock Art Sites, spend time with the Artworks at ground level, or climb to the top to view the 360' lookout over the Wetlands from the Nadab lookout, join the Guluyambi Cultural Cruise on the East Alligator River, to hear about the history and culture of the people and the land and take up their invitation for a step into Arnhem Land, where there will be a cultural demonstration. Your professional guide will take you through the day, sharing with you knowledge and stories as you go.
During March and April, we will revert to our equally in depth wet season itinerary for the Kakadu Day Tour. This will include visiting the Rock Art Galleries at Burrungkuy, Nourlangie Rock, instead of Ubirr and we will take the Yellow Waters Billabong Cruise instead of the Guluyambi Cruise.

Tour not to be missed

5.00Very informative and learnt a lot. The whole day was fantastic. Our driver Norm was brilliant and the food supplied was great (a big thank you to those who put it together- Norm did say it wasn’t him). Would definitely recommend this trip to anyone. The two young indigenous men Hilton and Tyrone who were at the site where we set off on our small cruise were happy to answer any questions you had.
It is all about the Leader and Good Stories

5.00This trip was just wonderful. The guides, Neville and his sidekick Ian, were the best. The Kakadu sites we visted were very special, and the chance to visit Aborginal lands and see rock art, and also crocs was fantastic. Thank you to the team.
It was a long day but worth every minute.

Magical experience at Kakadu

5.00I had an amazing experience visiting Kakadu NP with Offroad Dreaming. Our guide Neville had a wealth of knowledge and you could really feel his passion and love for the area. I learnt a lot about aboriginal culture and the communities living in the region. Neville was always respectful and made a point of acknowledging the Traditional Owners throughout the tour. One of the highlights was a boat trip with a local guide who gave us permission to walk onto Arnhem Land, which felt like a truly special privilege and experience. The lunch and snacks provided were delicious. The itinerary struck a great balance — we saw enough to get a real sense of the scale and beauty of Kakadu in a day without ever feeling rushed. I’d highly recommend booking a tour with this company.
Magnificent Ubirr

5.00This is a long day but definitely worth doing. The tour to Ubirr within Kakadu National Park has historical rock art, magnificent views from the top of UBIRR Rock climb, along with an interesting locally guided Alligator River Cruise. Our tour guide who was also the driver excellent his knowledge, was amazing. A lovely fresh lunch provided with several short stops en route to and on the return journey .The views from the top of UBIRR rocky outcrop were unbelievable and well worth the effort to climb up to see. The aboriginal rock art without a doubt the best I have seen and extensive. This day truly worth the early morning start and not to be missed when visiting Darwin Highly recommend this tour which will not be forgotten. Fabulous photo shots everywhere.
Great Tour

5.00Wow!! This was an absolutely amazing experience. Although it was a long day, it was worth every second! Norm was an excellent driver and guide- I really don’t know how he stores all that information in his head! My travel partner and I very much appreciated being given the personalised experience and highly recommend this company for their knowledge, friendliness, deep respect for this land and It’s people and overall dedication to excellence.
A Great Day at Kakadu

5.00Had a brilliant experience on our trip to Kakadu with our driver and guide, Neville. Very knowledgeable and conducted the day at a nice pace. Supplied lots of snacks throughout the day and there were numerous stops to use facilities. The bus itself was so comfortable and you could really feel the air con, so a long day of travel was very comfortable. For anyone who may have concerns regarding the walking involved, it was fairly easy on pathways, with lots of stops along the way. There is a large rockshelf that you can climb which was a lot easier than I thought it would be where it will show you the most spectacular view of Kakadu N.P.
Wonderful day trip,...
