Instead of spending six hours on the road, your return flight from Darwin gives you three hours of breathtaking aerial views across Australia’s largest national park. From above, you’ll gain a true sense of the sheer scale and variety of Kakadu’s landscapes — wetlands, escarpments, billabongs, and ancient stone country.

On landing, step aboard the iconic Yellow Water Cruise, where you’ll spend 60 minutes exploring the heart of Kakadu’s wetlands. Glide through waterways teeming with birdlife and keep watch for saltwater crocodiles basking on the banks.
