Day 1 Darwin/Litchfield National ParkLeave tropical Darwin trailing in the rear-view mirror and head off to explore the vast and wondrous Top End of Australia. Cruise along Adelaide River and watch for beady eyes breaking the surface of the water. Arrive into lush Litchfield National Park and enjoy the rare chance to see wildlife and crocodiles kicking back in their natural habitat. Walk through shady rainforests while listening to Litchfield's intoxicating soundtrack of singing birds and water tumbling over waterfalls. Marvel at the unusual magnetic termite mounds en route to Mt Bundy Station, where a night of camping and stargazing awaits. Day 2 Kakadu National ParkTravel through the breathtaking greenery of Kakadu National Park. Trace the stories told in ancient Aboriginal rock art, spot Arnhem Land looming on the horizon from Ubirr Rock, and see long-legged jabirus roaming around the place. Spend time with the local people learning about their ancient culture, bush tucker methods and Dreamtime legends. Day 3 Twin & Jim Jim FallsEnjoy an early bush brekkie before venturing out to a remote section of Kakadu park where Twin Falls and Jim Jim Falls remain virtually untouched, accessible only by 4x4 and boat. Float along the crystal clear waters of nearby rock pools and enjoy a few hours relaxing on Top End time. Day 4 Kakadu/DarwinEmbark on a morning cruise through tranquil Kakadu wetlands - home to saltwater crocodiles, native birds and water lilies. After enjoying a lunch at a peaceful billabong, set off to visit an area of deep spiritual significance to the Aboriginal community. View ancient rock art and take in impressive views of the surrounding region. Depart the wilds of Kakadu and travel back to steamy Darwin in the afternoon. Why not toast a memorable Top End tour with a champagne sunset?
